if it works you don't need to worry about ruining your battery making one and it would be worth it for the memory card. so why not? let us know how it works.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #2 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:17:49 PM »

so how and where would you go 2 get the necessary files 2 make the mag. mem. stick
and it might be awhile cause i dont have a slim yet im saving 4 1 i still need alot of money and i was just asking cause i was wondering if any1 knew from experience if that battery works as a pandora
and i started searching 4 other mem cards on there and i think i saw a 8GB mspd 4 like $40 or $60 so i am definitely ordering my mem sticks from here once i get my psp i wonder if there is a 16GB didnt check all the pages of the mem card section so one might be there 4 like cheap as h*ll so go check every1 seriously

The Ultimate Pandora Pack is the best thing to use (manual install it) just cant remeber where i downloaded it from though, guess ill look for the link right quick.

well i guess you can download it down there? dont think its the one i used but should work i guess. http://www.consolespot.net/forums/psp-help-tutorials/7061-release-ultimate-pandoras-magic-stick-v4-sapphire.html

btw u need at least a 512mb ms i think. u might a well just use the 4gig to downgrade to save money? since ya can just reformat you ms to normal when done

OH! almost forgot!!!!!! BACKUP YOUR NAND BEFORE YOU DOWNGRADE!!!! if u somehow manage to screw up your flash or idstorage your psp will neva be tha same! ya dig? lol Happy Hacking

MattZani · « **Reply #5 on:** May 22, 2008, 10:55:49 AM »

They are fake, most of the stuff on Dx is fake, or low quality, but it all works fine

Gamer4life · « **Reply #6 on:** May 22, 2008, 12:12:12 PM »

what do u mean fake and how can u tell if its fake

VoX · « **Reply #7 on:** May 22, 2008, 02:46:56 PM »

He means memory cards that aren't made by Sony but by a third party. They may have slower speeds but they work the same (Besides not having Magicgate).

Gamer4life · « **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2008, 02:55:48 PM »

whats a magic gate
and does that mean that sandisk and lexar mspd mem cards r fake and how do tell if its fake

babyboi828 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:04:10 PM »

i heard you can only make a mms with a produo, but mabey the third party ones are pro duo as well? ive neva tried to ones besides the sony and the sandisk

VoX · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:32:36 PM »

Ever heard of fake trading cards when you where a kid? These memory sticks are the same thing. You can still make them into Magic Memory Sticks as they should all have an IPL Sector (Ones that don't probably wont work). The hacked IPL is what turns a memorystick into a Magic Memory Stick, so it should work. Magicgate is a copy protection technology that was introduced around 1999, it basically changes the way that files are copied over to the memory stick but I'm not going to go into this as it is not important

Gamer4life · « **Reply #11 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:39:09 PM »

so do u think that the 8GB mspd mem cards on deal extreme works in the psp and is not fakee cause i was thinking of maybe getting two of them 2 almost equal a 16GB mem card so that i could play my umd games off the mem sticks(LEGALLY of course)

ApheX · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:57:34 PM »

just make sure it's a real 8 gb card. i'm not sure what deal extreme are like, but i ordered one from amazon for £55. worked fine for awhile, then it wouldn't transfer anything over 40mb without corrupting the files. got a proper replacement from them, but it's just a pain in the arse when that happens.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2008, 04:13:51 PM »

well how would u know if its fake it says it a 8GB sony memory stick pro duo for like i think it said $50

VoX · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2008, 11:07:26 PM »

All of DealExtreme's PSP memory sticks are fake.... but that doesn't mean they are bad. If it doesn't work, Dealextreme will send you a new one, Free of charge.

I compared the fake with the real thing and found that the printed writing on the back of the card was embedded in the pastic rather than laser printed on top like the real sony card.

Nemesis · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:20:29 AM »

the basic way of telling a real from a fake is the price in my opinion, fakes ones will always be far cheaper and seem like the bargain compared to the original, thats only way of telling how as i buy my memory sticks off ebay

As much as I hate to point you somewhere else, this is actually a REALLY good list.

List of Fakes

dedafmonteur · « **Reply #18 on:** May 23, 2008, 10:03:14 AM »

real or fake what is the diff. allmost nothing...

btw, this is the real one got one to

Gamer4life · « **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2008, 12:56:35 PM »

i read that thing grimoire and i think it said if im right that the 2gb fake stick only held like 1gb of info so does any1 think that the fake 8gb would hold the same amount of info as the real 8gb

cause i dont have alot of money and was going 2 probaly get like 2 to almost equal a 16gb card so i could play my umd games on my mem stick (LEGALLY OF COURSE) and was wondering also if u could do that with the fakes i might even buy 3 if u can

Grimoire · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2008, 01:02:05 PM »

My buddy got a fake, and it held like 16mb under 2 gig. But it works fine with no errors, he just lost 16Mb. Personally, I dont know, mixed feelings. I guess you can get a good fake, or a bad one. In any case, why not? Go for it. I would.

VoX · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2008, 05:00:04 PM »

All memory cards/sticks, Hard drives ect. never have the exact amount of memory that is stated when you buy it or on the package. If you buy a 250 GB hard drive you will probably get something around 240 GB's, its just rounding off. Fake cards will probably have the exact amount of memory that the OEM ones have, There is really no difference between the fake ones and the real ones besides the price.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2008, 05:58:29 PM »

well why is it considered fake it works and has the same amount of memory as the real ones the only difference i c is the price so why is it considered fake

VoX · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2008, 06:16:18 PM »

It fake because, as I stated before, there not made by a certified manufacturer. So for example if you "somehow" manged to make a copy of the PSP memory stick, it would be fake because it's not made by Sony or a certified manufacturer such as Sandisk.

Gamer4life · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:02:17 PM »

so the 8gb fake from dx would be able 2 play MY umd games copied to my mem stick (LEGALLY of course)

VoX · « **Reply #25 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:11:11 PM »

Yes it will, and if for some reason it can't (Very unlikly) DealExtreme will give you a replacement for free

Gamer4life · « **Reply #26 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:35:40 PM »

awesome im gonna get maybe 3 and i think i also read that the fakes have very slow read/write speeds

VoX · « **Reply #27 on:** May 23, 2008, 08:24:16 PM »

That don't have very slow read/write speeds but there not the same as the real ones. I've got a fake 4GB and it runs Iso's, Homebrew, movies ect. fine

Gamer4life · « **Reply #28 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:03:42 PM »

do u think that dx will be selling fake 16GB mspd mem cards anytime soon or in the near future

VoX · « **Reply #29 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:24:34 PM »

Yes, I believe that they will be selling Fake 16GB memory sticks. The 8 GB came after a lot of requests for it

Gamer4life · « **Reply #30 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:37:38 PM »

well i hope soon if not maybe i would just buy 1 8GB then and wait a little 2 c if they offer the 16GB stick

babyboi828 · « **Reply #32 on:** May 29, 2008, 05:26:51 PM »

the nand contains a bunch of data (some specific to your psp) you can use if you every screw up you flash0 or something

no make it yourself its so simple almost idiot proof.

notice he said ALMOST idiot proof so just remeber every1 its not 100%

babyboi828 · « **Reply #35 on:** June 02, 2008, 01:21:22 PM »

yea but as long as u BACK UP even if u screw up the worst way its fixable

afataldonkey · « **Reply #36 on:** June 02, 2008, 02:07:44 PM »

dont know if anybody told you this cause i just read a few comments and then scrolled down to tell you this. the mem card is most likely fake. only way you can be sure you are buying a legit mem card is buying it from a store like best buy or circuit city. also for the mms (magic mem stick) i used Totalnewbinstaller or something like that its pretty easy to use but i dont think it works on vista so if you have vista idk if you will be able to do it. well i hope that i was help and if you need to know how to make a pandoras with the slim battery hit me up
