question about magic memory stick
« on: May 04, 2008, 11:13:09 AM »
what exactly is a magic memory stick and what does it do and does a sony or a sandisk 4 GB or 8 GB memory stick work to become one

Well the pandora battery gets it into recovery mode.  then to downgrade the "magic" memory stick hold all the eboots and flash file to install custom firmware or unbrick. With out it u cant downgrade. 

And i am pretty sure u cant do it with a memory card over 2gig.  but give it a try.

I think the early 4GB sticks are the only working ones that can become magic, 8GB and above are certaintly not going to work.

Also u can have the stick in their whenever u want as long as the Pandora battery isn't in ur PSP, cuz it will keep throwing u into the Unbricking menu

Dude, you only use a pandora battery when you are changing the firmware. pandora puts the psp in service mode to change the firmware. you don't need to use it when you want to play a game or music, only for changing the firmware or downgrading. get another battery so you have one to play games and stuff and one to downgrade the psp. really handy to have.

You use it to unbrick a PSP and change Firmware ect. You don't need it to select No-UMD mode that can be done in most Custom Firmware's

okay answer this for me please i know that the mag. mem. stick holds all ur flash 1 or o files or whatever so can you put the folder iso when you want 2 create a backup of your game (im talking legal her) could u put it on a non mag. mem. stick along with the other files for custom firmware and just use the mag. mem stick whenever u need 2 use it

Yes you can use a non Magic Memory stick on your PSP after but you cant use a non magic memory stick with Pandora's battery in, you have to use a different battery.

64MB or more should do it. I don't see any places selling them, so 256 or 512 may be your smallest available. Those can be bought fairly cheap now.

yes 16GB is the biggest out right now and is also compatible with the PSP as well, but if ur willing to spend around $290 BIG ONES, i would say go for it, but they will drop in price after a year or so, so just wait for it like the rest of us, and certaintly after its price drop, other MS sticks will also be worth less, so just wait and see

An 8gb would be around $84 for a Official Sony OEM one

OEM = Original equipment manufacturer, basically what it means is that is is an official Sony memory stick and not a fake/copy
