SOURCE: Memory Stick Pro Duo 8GB on PsP

Two possibilities.
1. The firmware on your PSP is too old to recognise the 8GB (only recognises up to 4GB).
2. If firmware is up to date you have a fake memory stick (easy way to check is to check the info for the memory stick on your PSP if its says that MAGIC GATE is unknown rather than supported then it is fake.

The fake ones typically double compress the data so that it appears to have 8GB when in reality it does not.

SOURCE: 8gb memory card corrupted.

If its cost a lot, it should have warranty. Go and ask for a replace. 7.63 GB is ok for a 8 GB card. cz, file system itself takes some space.

But i dont think the card is still good.

Why wont my computer recognize my sandisk memory card anymore

Sometimes it happens that your slot doesn't work you can use a another option like Olympus LS-10 digital recorder as a card reader for accessing the data. Insert the SD card in your LS-10 digital recorder then connect the recorder to the computer with a USB cord then it will show you two options for the onboard storage inherent and one for the SD-Card. Select first photoshop elements to read the card and then Windows Live photo Gallery to view and copy your photos.
If the Information helped you out then please give me some ratings. Thanks

I have nfs carbon in my pc. ihave a psp to. ihave to convert this carbon into that. what is the solution?

Do you want to play the carbon on your pc on or PSP ?

You can run older DOS-based PC Games such as Doom, Quake or Duke Nukem 3D on your PlayStation Portable (PSP) if you have the right software. Finding, downloading and installing the software is not too difficult. Once you have the proper configuration on your PSP, all you have to do is save the games on your PSP's memory stick and boot up the correct programs.

  • 1

    Download the free program DosBox for PSP (see Resources). Save it to your PSP's memory stick under the "GAMES" directory. To do this, insert the memory stick in your PC's memory stick slot, or connect your PSP to your PC via the mini-USB cable provided by the manufacturer. Using Windows Explorer, open the memory stick or PSP and then navigate to the "GAMES" directory.

  • 2

    Install the PC games you want to play on your PSP's memory stick. When the PC game install wizard asks where you want to install the game, direct it to the "GAMES" directory on your memory stick. It should then create a new folder within "GAMES," where all of the PC game's files will be located.

  • 3

    Insert your memory stick into the PSP or disconnect the PSP from your PC. Start the PSP, and go to "MEMORY STICK" on the main menu. Scroll down until you find DosBox listed and start the program.

  • 4

    Type "cd/games" using the PSP's virtual keyboard option at the DOS prompt. (Hit the circle button to bring up the virtual keyboard.) Then type "cd/" followed by the name of the game directory for the game you want to play. Finally, type the name of the executable file (".exe") listed in that directory. Your PC game should start.

  • 5

    Troubleshoot your individual PC game by experimenting with the various game controls. Since the PSP obviously has fewer inputs than a PC's mouse and keyboard, you may have to use trial and error to discover how to play your game successfully on the PSP.

    My psp drop on the floor it fall on the floor around a foot high when I open it the screen shows that there is no memory stick inserted. The memory stick was inside it

    The memory stick was probably damaged during the fall.
    First, take the memory stick out and examine it for any cracks, bends, or other blemishes. If it looks fine, I would try the stick in another device and see if it works. If the stick works in another machine, it means the system itself probably got damaged, but if the stick doesn't work in any device, it probably means you only need to buy a new memory stick.

    My psp memory card dont let me put stuff in

    you may have to format the card. Also make sure your card is not placed in the lock position.
      How to Fix a PSP Memory Stick
    1. Step 1 Upgrade your PSP's Firmware (its operating system) before doing anything else. Firmware 5.0 solves many software problems that are encountered with older memory sticks. You can upgrade it by simply connecting your PSP to any wireless connection through its WiFi. Once a connection is established, the PSP will update itself automatically.
    2. Step 2 Check to see that your memory stick's plastic tongs, the small sticks that separate each connection, are straight. If one is bent, your PSP will not recognize the stick.
    3. Step 3 Remove your memory stick if it still does not work. Insert it into a PC with a memory stick slot. You will most likely be able to see all of your saved files. If so, continue to the next step. If you still cannot see your files, then your memory stick is defective, and it is not the PSP's fault.
    4. Step 4 Copy your files from the memory stick to the hard drive.
    5. Step 5 Format your memory stick using the "Format Disk" option in Windows. Open Windows Explorer, and find your memory stick listed in the "Drives" section. Right-click on the memory stick, and click "Format." Follow the on-screen instructions in the windows that pop up.
    6. Step 6 Insert your memory stick into your PSP. It should recognize the disk now. However, you now need to format the memory disk again with the PSP.
    7. Step 7 Go the PSP main menu, and select "Settings." Then select "Format Memory Disk."
    8. Step 8 Put your memory stick back in your PC, and return the files you removed earlier. When you reinsert the stick into your PSP, it should now see all the files.

    Memory stick does not work

    Connect the memory stick to your PC and format there. If it still fails, it's highly likely that your memory stick needs replacement

    Memory stick duo won't read!

    You probably need a new memory stick module inside the PSP. I have seen this many times in my store and we replaced the board and it worked fine. Contact your local game stores to see if they do console repairs. See if there is a Play-N-Trade within your area. I work at one and we do repairs. I'm not sure if Gamestop or Gamecrazy do repairs.

    Psp

    * Make sure you have inserted a memory stick, and enable the usb connection via settings=>usb connection

    * Check the usb cable, or simply find another one to try if it works.

    * If there is a memory stick inside the psp and the psp can recognize it, then you most probably have a problem with your cable or usb port.

    * if there is a memory stick inside the psp and the psp cannot recognize it, as well as the computer, then you are most likely to have a failure with your memory card.

    There are too many possibilities, maybe you can give me details straightaway, so more people can help you.
