I was told I could get one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0146RR60O...olid=2UGD82EX02K1C&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it to use two microSD's at once on my PSP. I got a few questions:

1. Do I need to format my cards to fat32 to make them work? i'm thinking of picking up two 64GB or maybe two 32GB's

2. Can I just copy everything off of my current offical PSP mem sticks onto one of the SD cards and all my CFW/emulators/games etc will still work fine or will I have to do something extra/special?

3. Do I need to mod anything or install anything to get this memory card adapter to work with my PSP in the first place? or will it just work because I already have CFW?

Not sure about question 2 and 3

1. The adapter only supports two sd cards upto 32gb it even says so in the description in the link you posted

From the description in your link.

Description maximum support for 32 GB *


Oh crap. Is that 32GB for each side for 64GB total or 32GB in total?


Or should I just get something like this instead? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07F68FCHD/?coliid=I3O4P6H96P4TYD&colid=2UGD82EX02K1C&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it


Also kinda off topic but I also wanna get a micro SD card but i'm a bit concerned because I see a lot of reviews saying they are fake or they die quickly after a few months. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B073JYVKNX...olid=2UGD82EX02K1C&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it was thinking of getting the adapter and the sd card I just linked maybe, unless someone has better suggestions for brands or something I don't know.


Man is it hard to find official accessories for this thing anymore...batteries, memcards etc, I know it's an old console but damn.

1) Yes, needs to be FAT32. And you can ignore their "size limits", the PSP supports a theoretical max size of 2TB, which any adapter that works properly would support just fine. I bought some cheapo one years and years ago that also claimed the same limitation, but I was able to put two 64GB cards into them just fine. I imagine this would be the same, as well. Just have to format the SDXC cards to FAT32.
2) Yep.
3) Don't need any mods, Pro Duo adapters work out of the box.

hey OP - did you end up ordering one of those card adapters from amazon ?

I am also in Canada and just hacked my psp and am looking to get a card adapter and just want to make sure i get one that works.

i know you can order from ebay for a little cheaper but i like the protection you get from amazon as far as easy returns.

Ehh, they're $1 Chinese products with no quality control regardless of how much the seller charges, they will almost certainly work (the more interesting question is for how long, considering they have the pitfalls of all microSD adapters and some more due to their thinness), if you value your time highly just buy a couple of them

while the white dual ones are nice the single chip one I found work better since if you one of the SD cards in the duel go bad you lose everything but with the singles you have at least potential to get the data back

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
