I already have a Sony 8gb pro duo memory stick that works great. I bought another one and its a shocker. Its slow loading up, when i use the usb mode it reads that the games are in the iso folder but when i go to load them from the menu, they are not there. I feel this memory stick is a lemon. Even when i go to format the memory stick the psp says "No memory stick inserted". It wouldnt matter how many times i format it, its not reading the games. Ive made it a magic memory stick on several occassions and still wont read games. I can copy atleast 2 games onto it and they will work, there after it will transfer more games but will not read the game file.
I think ive done myself out of some money with this Sony 8gb. Does it sound like i have a corrupt memory stick or is there something im not doing?
Yes it is a fake, and i did get it from ebay ....BUT....i have bought another fake sony 8gb off ebay before and it works perfect, perfect transfer speed, perfect everything. This latest one is a fake also and its crap. What can i say, it boils down to luck!
like you i was lucky to get a decent enough fake but i wont risk it next time i come to buy one if you have money to spare i say go for it but i rather have it perfect.
just curiosity what speed are you getting for the good 8gb. i get a max of about 1.4 - 1.7mbps on my fake and i got 5mb on a genuine. i just though i might say because games under 1.2gb run perfect but above that they start to lag it heavy game play.
