Hacking 5.00m33-6 causing issues with my PRO-HG Duo 8GB stick?

[ivenoname]

So I haven't had my PSP for a while and as such I am super out of touch with the whole modding scene.

I am using 5.00m33-6 on my model 1000 PSP. I just got a new *GB memstick PRO-HG duo(HX8B model). I looked up compatibility from a Sony website and it says I am good.

It's this one for reference.

It is however not reading that there is a memory stick installed. I know the PSP is functioning properly as it is reading my old original one that it came with. This however is not enough space for what I want.

I do not have another way to test if the memory stick is what is screwed up. Any other info you guys have would be amazing.

Thank you for your time.

WOW 5.M33-6....thats ancient dude...like the Dark Alex days old. But its a new memory stick right? format it to FAT32 and see if it works after.

Format the Memory Stick with your PSP

My PSP doesn't even recognize there is a memory stick to be formatted. When I tried it said "no memory stick found".

P.S. It is indeed old, my PSP sat in a box in storage for the past maybe six years. Hell the PSP it's self is a 1000 model I literally bought the day they were released.

Plug it into the PC...and manually format it. If its the wrong filesystem type I doubt its gonna recognize it. But hey maybe u just got a bad stick. (Id update that firmware if I were u tbh but its prolly not the issue)
