So, it was late last night that I came up with the idea of making my own psp hard drive. I pulled a 40GB Hitachi hard disk, Model HTC426040G9AT00 < Fits in a pack of cigarettes> from an old MP3 player <Creative Zen Touch>. My theory is that with the ribbon that was inside the Zen I should be able to hard wire the pins  to the inside of the MSPD card and run an alternate power source to the hard drive. Now, say that this all works out, what you would have is a mini media monster capable of holding tons of movies, music, pics, and games all without cracking open the case of the PSP :tup:. The question is, how do I do it? I was talking to my professor and he suggested that there would be a lot of circuitry involved in order to make the data flow from the HD threw the card and into the psp and be read. For all the people out there that don't mind not having the UMD player, the hard drive actually fits in the UMD bay <without a power supply>. Maybe the whole concept is a little outlandish, but why pay 30+ USD for a 2 GB card that is filled before there is an opertunity to blink? If anyone has any information that could help me make this dream into a reality let me know. my E-mail is nirvana_fan132@yahoo.com or you can just reply to the post.

Sorry dude, this has been tried time and time and time again...

The only reasonable way to add a hd to a psp is via the usb port which has it's own set up problems...

This has been accomplished by a company in china called witchain the product is called the sps

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.witchain.com/sps9.htm&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.witchain.com/sps9.htm%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

It supposedly only works on 3.71 + 1.5 or IRshell 3.81 

I have seen some talk about it in the dark alex forum but it is still buggy. I don't think there is any more active development on the software and you would have to import the device from china.

anyways  8GB MS not enough memory? buy 4 that will be cheaper than HD and give your 400% the battery life...

He cant. They took all his power away.
All you had to do was say I wasn't mod, not degrade me in public :'(

...nah I'm kidding. The OP can lock it though. But I doubt he would.
