I've been using CR-5400 with 2x Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class 6 for about 1 month+ till today no problems when I copy files in and out of it ~touch wood~

I think that the fake MSPD is using cheapskate memory chip compare to using branded memory.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagicGate


It's a Digital Rights Management (DRM) thing. I think it won't affect the functions the memory card used in the PSP.

Hm... Possible you got a faulty CR-5400. Better send back for warrany asap. Got test with another microsdhc? Or just 1 microshdc in the CR-5400?

Added on January 4, 2009, 6:47 pmFor PSP you can look at MSPD from Sony or Sandisk.

Heard Sandisk MSPD is faster than Sony MSPD.

Sony got MSPD MarkII but not sure about the performance though.

Sony more expensive than Sandisk.

I bought mine from Low Yat Plaza in All IT Hypermart.

It's the cheapest among the IT shops there.

Yup! Depends. But that day not sure how All IT can sell Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class 6 at RM89 whereas SriComp Selling RM110. And that time only this both shops have the Class 6 available.

Added on January 5, 2009, 7:46 amNo lag if using Sandisk or Sony 8GB MSPD. Will lag when you are using those fake 8GB MSPD because its using low grade & very cheap memory chips.

I've used before Sandisk 8GB M2 with MSPD adapter also not lag. Now using CR-5400 with 2x Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class 6 also no lag.

You can search Garage Sales for PhotoFast CR-5400 adapter as there a few members selling it.

The 8GB MicroSDHC you can get in Low Yat Plaza.

Anyone tried Marvel Ultimate Alliance for PSP? The loading is really long...

You can go to SonyStyle and get PSP2000 for RM7xx.

Just bring to someone to install CFW for a small price.

Not sure about the settings as I rarely play PSX games. But you can upgrade to the latest CFW without the Pandora battery.

Playboy21 posted this steps:
Ok mate,there's no problem at all.You do not need to upgrade to any other firmware before upgrading to 5.00M33 as 3.71m33 is compatible with the installer.Here's a guide on how to do it :

Note : There have been many cases of bricks upon upgrade,so it's up to you to take the risk.Otherwise,it's all good.


Requirements :
1)A phat/slim psp which has custom firmware 3.52m33-3 or any firmware above it.
*Minimum requirement is 3.52m33-3*

Guide

1) First of all,you need to set your kernel to 3.xx/4.xx.You can do so in recovery mode or in your VSH menu (if you have the VSH addon plugin installed)

**Recovery : Hold the off switch for 3-5 seconds,then HOLD R and boot your psp up.Now go to configuration,and click X at the "Game Folder Homebrew" option until it displays as 3.xx/4.xx kernel.Example : On a 3.52m33-3/4 psp,it should show as 3.52 kernel.

2) Download the 5.00M33 installer here

3) Download the 5.00 eboot.pbp here

4) Use your preferred software to extract the 5.00M33 rar file.You should now get two folders (UPDATE and Translate) as well as a readme.txt file.

5) Copy the UPDATE folder and paste it in ms0:/PSP/GAME.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp **

6)Time,for the 5.00 eboot (step 2).

7) Copy the 500.PBP and paste it in your ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp and 500.pbp **

8) That's all,seriously.All you need to do now is to run the installer on your PSP.

** The installer will seem very official like,but don't worry,that's how it's supposed to be like **

9) Remember,once the update is over,PRESS X/O when it asks you to do so or your psp will brick!!

10) What else,enjoy!

It's the same steps but you need to get the files for 5.01. Have updated my reply above with the steps from him.

But you need to google for the 5.01 eboot file.

5.01m33-4 installer:

Actually you can upgrade from 3.5x and above.

I upgraded for a few friends without any problems. Just make sure you follow the instructions and get the 2 correct files.

Original Sandisk 8GB MSPD is selling about RM200+ in Low Yat Plaza. Sony is more expensive. Saw in SonyStyle selling RM379 for 8GB MarkII MSPD.
http://www.sonystyle.com.my/product/produc...roModel=MS-MT8G

Sandisk 8GB M2 with MSPD adapter is about RM125.

I think that 8GB for RM100 is fake MSPD but I thought someone is selling for RM80 for the fake MSPD in garage sales?

This post has been edited by blurjoey: Jan 10 2009, 06:44 PM

Yup! MagicGate supported too. Was using 8GB M2 with MSPD adapter before changing to CR-5400 with 8GBx2 MicroSDHC.

Depends. From RM30-100+ also got just to upgrade the firmware.

Yes it is easy to upgrade to 5.01m33-4 using that instructions. You follow the instructions and you will be fine and your PSP with the latest firmware too.

If you're still scared you can look for Lacus who provides this services for very cheap compare to you getting from those shops.

Then send it to benwong88 to...
FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT

Sorry but I'm not his type! LOL!

I think he is more interested in some other guy here

BTW - How did this get started?

Already released. Hope this is not illegal here for posting the link to the CFW.

What is 100++ jigabite?

There is fake Sandisk also being sold along with the fake Sony.

Cheapodude: Get Sandisk MSPD as it is cheaper and faster than Sony MSPD. Not sure about the Sony MarkII's speed though.

Also Sandisk have in agreement and license with Sony to produce the Memory Stick memories for Sony and themselves.
