datel hdd - the question that everyone wants the answer too

[FaT3oYCG]

ok the question is

will a micro drive larger than 4gb work with my datel board 

the answer is no 

here are the reasons why and why not and a possible solution 

why it wont work 
-the datel board was limited to 4gb

why it might have worked   
-the psp can cope with micro drives larger than 4gb

possible fix 
-if the part that limits the board to 4gb is found it can be removed and will work or removed and the connection where it was joined with wire or solder

possible alternatives 

- neo 2 in 1 adapter
- neo 4 in 1 adapter
- neo 8 in 1 psp pad 

- modified micro drive reader for pc, much the same as the SDHC adapter mod 

weird experiences
- on my first datel hdd i could use micro drives larger than 4gb
- the reason why

thanks

do u know where the 4 gig cap resistor is?
If removed there is no limit correct? other than the 32 gb cap

dude, the new thing is the usb storage. it has no cap. memstick has only 32gigs, but im working on finding out what pvp did. ive spent like 500 bucks on R&D so far..

[folklord36]

uhhh waste of 500 bucks if u ask me. why dont you rent a programer u could have got them to write the software for less than that. what has your 500 got u as far as progress?

ahh the age old question on pvp. i thought it required removing the umd and tricking the psp into thinking the HD is a UMD?

[folklord36]

nope its trough the usb (rember the ugly cable) and in the note book post it explains more indepth

[GhoSt]

well why couldn't u do that trick the psp into thinking the harddrive is a UMD.

well why couldn't u do that trick the psp into thinking the harddrive is a UMD.

maybe

but the thing to do would be to find the 4 gb capper and remove it i did mention this in my first post but i dont know where it is and i dont really want to remove every single one separately because i may damage the board or piece that i take off, i was looking for some schematics or something but i cant find any
