MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
Anyone know if such thing is available? Had a little look about but I can't confirm if what I need will actually work.
Basically, I have a 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC that I use in my HTC Kaiser, but I also want to use it in my PSP without having to buy a new Memory Stick PRO DUO card... so is an adaptor able to do this and save me some cash?
Cheers in advance,
Allen

Well, this adapter will let you use the card in a PSP

However, it ends up as a standard MemoryStick Duo Pro, does not come with MagicGate security, so there is a limit to what you can use it for on a PSP.

Cool, thanks. Spent ages looking around and couldn't see one, this one seems to advise that it can be used for a PSP, so hopefully should be OK.
What won't work if MagicGate isn't on the memory stick? I only want to watch video and listen to music on my PSP.

From wikipedia:
Quote:
PlayStation Portable – The Playstation Portable in service mode will only boot to memory sticks with MagicGate enabled
If that's the only loss, I won't mind at all. Can anyone confirm this?
Re: MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
For video and music you should be ok as far as i know.
I think you need MagicGate for game saves as well.
Re: MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
That's fine, if I want to play games I can install my 512MB Memory Stick PRO DUO MagicGate card for that.
I'll give it a go. :)
Re: MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
You cant save games, no service mode, in most cases the read / write is much slower even with fast SD cards and the PSP will often crash if you use the write lock on the SD card (understandable really).
For films / pictures etc they are fine :)

That's good to hear Agent, thanks!
Now all I gotta do is fine one, Moby Memory are out of stock and I can't find them anywhere else except some dodgy seller from Hong Kong on eBay... :O_o1:

Re: MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
Agent, you are a star! I'm ordering that dual card one tonight! :D
That way, later on I can pick up another £20 8GB card and have 16GB storage on my PSP, that should hold a fair amount of video for me to watch! :D
Re: MicroSDHC to MS PRO DUO Adaptor
That dual card adapter is pretty cool!
