You think ? Did you look the barcode up ?

Oh , and I thought holograms where near perfect too at fakes ?

Oh congrats then to the guy who hacked it together in a sweat shop...its supposed to look authentic...i guess you don't deal with ebay often?

That doesn't mean anything...

OP you need to hit up google and find a few of the guides out there that help you find out if its fake...they are always just near perfect...i am talking near perfect...

You can tell by the way the hologram shines or similar attribute's....there just that good...

 

Looks like a store return or discounted item due to the appearance. Which is why you got it cheap. Seems legit.

Put it in the PSP go into the mem card info and check if magicgate is supported.

 

I personally can't recommend anything other than SanDisk MS Pro Duos. SanDisk cards are typically much cheaper, more reliable, and faster than their Sony counterparts. The optimal solution would be a 16gb SanDisk Ultra II if they're available now. I've been out of the PSP game for a while.

FAKE Sony have easily identifiable FALSE Sony part numbers with extra letter T and also mixed/incorrect UPC Part Number on the retail paper insert. * Pro Duo: - 2GB (MSX-M2GST/X) - 4GB (MSX-M4GST/X) - 8GB (MSX-M8GST/X) - 16GB (OEM ?) 3. Newer FAKE may have correct Sony Part Number but the UPC Part Number may still be incorrect on the retail insert! Fake has none of the Operating Instructions sheet(s) and none of the separate Sony Warranty sheet.

The bold and underlined part maches my barcode so I'm assuming it's genuine one.

I would still see if you can't find one that deals with the hologram's etc...its not hard to get the bar code right but those holograms or the stickers have to be special ordered AFAIK

If it's legit that'd be awesome...how much did you pay?

 

This is just a suggestion but ...

1. Go to walmart and buy 16 gig memory stick
2. Next day go back to return the one you got off ebay
3. Enjoy a legit stick without worrying

 

LOL.

Might just do that.

I payed about $30.

 

It's a legit stick... Why are you soft footing around it? :S
Just stick it in your PSP. I scanned the VIN and the barcode.
It's a legit stick.... or does that mean 'nothing' as well?

 

Thanks ! REP+. What do you mean scanned ?

I have a barcode and VIN scanner

 

Ah Ok well , thanks !

 

Ok... First problems are starting! Nooo!

Well, when I format the stick, copy a game, and add the savegames, everything seems fine. Untill I want to start the game. All I see is this:

And when the PSP splash screen had ended, all I see is black...

 

Are you using pops loader or is that a PSN game?

 

I'm using *.CSO's.

What CFW are you running?

Because that happens mine sometimes with newer dumped iso/cso's on 5.5 Gen B. It's happened on both Rockband & GT. I own both UMD's so their direct dumps and not downloads.

5.00 M33-6 plays them fine for me though.

 

A friend of mine suggested that too me aswell. I'll try that out. How do I update it again?

Unfortunately if I answered that, it would probably break site piracy rules. But this should start you in the right direction.

 

Thanks. But the games have always worked with 5.00 M33-4... So, I don't think that would be the problem?

 

Ok, just tried the turoial, but not working... On 2 sticks, when I try to open the file, is says CORRUPTED DATA. Omg... I'm getting so sick of PSP's, I have problems every frickin' time!

Was away for some hours and forgot to ask you last time.
Is the game decrypted to work with M33?
As most GTPSP versions are only working on GEN-B and B2.

Yeah it is most likely the CSO being the problem..i know when i grabbed the GT5 CSO i saw that you had to have a decrypted CSO depending on firmware

So i made sure to update to M33-6 and get the decrypted release..

So why do the *.CSO's work fine on the other memory stick, but not on this one?
