manobon said:okay- Just received the RMA-returned CR-5400 today and...holy crap it works! =^D 15GB to use (well, 11GB now, but still).
Mine was tested by shopdigi with a kingston 8GB and 1GB (1GB?) in conjunction...I'm using the same cards as before. We'll see if my system continues to recognize the space when I add new games, turn on the system after a while, etc. but I'm hoping there are no future problems.
I think what might've been the issue was that...the CR-5400 Is as fragile as the packaging says it is...meaning, Always handle it by the edges (like holding a photo, instead of getting thumbprints/smudges onto it).
As far as a reliable microsdhc ->pro duo adapter... the thing I got from newegg.com or mobymemory (As aforementioned) works like a charm with my 8GB class 6 A-DATA card and anything/everything else. Anyway, I have to get back to apartment hunting and other stuff (like adding isos/csos of games i've been missing out on!).
I'll post again after a few days/removals of the card to verify if it still reads well, and whatnot. Laters!
monabon is yours a slim or a fat psp...? I just received 2 CR-5400 both tested on a slim.. Both worked out of the box on my fat PSP. I figured out what was killing my 5400s by killing one of them.. It seems that if you power "ON" the PSP with the 5400 inside it loops the cards. You have remove the 5400 before you power the PSP on. I think that the card reader inside the Fat PSP has higher voltage then the slim. If that is the case then these things are REALLY fragile and my days are numbered with the wear and tear it will cause by me inserting and removing the cards. I going to test this with my CR-3100 to see if i can power on the PSP with it still inside..
