I heard from my friend that the Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo Ultra II (15MB/sec) performs very well on the PSP as games load a lot faster than usual Memory Stick. Does anyone know where I can I get my hands on the 8GB version in Malaysia (better still in KL) ? At the moment I can only find the 4GB edition and wondering if it's enough.

Thanks.

The link says RM 960 and it was the package I was considering as I bought from the same guy. Anyway I bought a unit of PSP at RM 738 (5 in 1) and a NDSL for RM 680. It's 2 weeks now and everything seems ok.

hey guys..please don't kill me, but i've looked endlessly around google for the one complete guide that teaches me how to upgrade my CFW, but all seems to be either incomplete or 'maybe' incompatible. Therefore....i was wondering if i can find some help from here.

I have a PSP SLIM on M33-3.90 right now, and no pandora, no magic stick, no extra psp :

1. how in the world can i back up my NAND? just plug the usb cable and copy something from eeprom folder or use some dumping tools??

2. how to verify if my NAND is properly backup-ed so it can recover from disaster?

3. finally, how can i upgrade to the latest CFW?? 4.xx ? any good about it?

any help is appreciated!!

Updating a custom firmware does not need any pandora or anything unless u wanna change official firmware to custom.

erm, what is NAND, pandora.. ? ...sorry still noob in these things ...

also, i wan to ask about psp seller in lyn, is sce or bernard selling original psp console ? ... i know the memory stick is not, but i need to confirm whether they are selling original console... or not
also, i got to know that original psp console comes with 1 gb of original memory stick. Due to its small capacity, psp seller tend to send fake 4gb memory stick. How do they treat the 1gb original memory stick ? do they deduct the price of the 1 gb memory stick in the price that they are offering ? or they just take it for themselves ? ... just curious here >.<
pls advise

I dont think there are fake PSP available on the market. Are there? I think only original or custom firmware.

Originally, PSP pack doesnt come with 1gb MSPD.

Basic unit package or Base Pack or Core Pack (in NA) only contains the console, a battery, and an AC adapter.

The Value Pack includes everything in the Base Pack as well as a 32 MB Memory Stick Pro Duo, headphones with remote control, a carrying pouch, and a wrist strap.

p/s: some words are copy n paste from wikipedia tongue.gif

Nand is the psp flash0 and flash1, pandora is the software to bring life to a brick psp. can also use to install custom firmware if current psp uses original firmware

about psp seller, all psp original. i dont think got fake psp. but do watchout for refurbished psp or psp with different colored faceplate. this is for the old phat psp. my friend bought a phat psp with gold faceplate which felt so cheap and crappy so if ur buying phat check if the faceplate if its ori. if u buying slim no problem i think. Seller in lyn i think all of them if not most are respectable. a good thing to do is check their successful trade list and see if got complaints or not. buying from shops also not a really bad idea. price for psp is pretty much the same everywhere. sumore easy to claim warranty if got problems plus u can check first b4 buying.

also if u got fake 4gb ms its ok. if i'm not mistaken psp only comes with ori 32mb ms only giga pack got ori 1gb ms. my fren bought the fake 4gb so far no problem. if u want faster ms get the 2gb fake hsmspd. i tested the read and write speed for the fake 2gb hsmspd. its faster than the ori mspd that comes free with the psp. faster than the ori 2 gb hsmspd. well at least mine is. dont know bout other fake 2gb hsmspd. i'm not sure if got fake 4gb hsmspd. never had the chance to test one. so i really dont know the speed.

To update ur psp cfw juz follow the cfw instruction, nowadays its very easy plus got safety check lagi. unlike the old days haha. wanna backup ur nand? go to the cfw recovery mode got option to toggle flash0, 1 usb. open ur flash0 and flash1 in ur comp. make sure u set folder setting to see all hidden and system file. copy everything and put in safe place. i use this backup to revert to any cfw i've use. or to recovery my semi bricked psp or when i screwed up sumthing when dealing with custom XMB. but i think thats only applicable for the earlier phat psp. coz i tried this method with TA-082 mobo, doesnt work. Slim also doesnt work. but that was the test i did last year.

if ur psp brick. dont worry. any store will gladly charge u 50 bucks to revive ur psp. which is a rip off. hahaha. if u live sumwhere near tronoh or ipoh i'll gladly do it for a free meal. KFC ka. McD ka. hahaha
