Donot use fake memory cards for OE installs
If you recieve an sha-1 error while trying to run the oeupdatemaker STOP>

Some memory cards are considerd "fake" These cards stand a decent chance of bricking your psp!!!

To determine if your card is fake follow these simple steps

1. In xmb goto Video / memory stick
2. Press triangle
3. Press x over "Information"

If its real it displays :
magicgate Supported

Other wise its fake and don't use it.

I thought the daxar check was soposed to counter this from happening. I wasn't aware it was possbile to happen since the change was made.

Yeah results like yours brandon, made alot of us think we were safe guarded from the freak incidince of corrupt info on fake cards.... But a guy sacrificed his psp to prove it can happen. (hence the warning)

I would just hold off and get a real one for future updates.

I would just like to add a side note to this, be very careful when buying Memory Sticks on Ebay. They have massive problems with counterfeits for all types of memory cards.

Jeese, this would've been extremely helpful a while ago. I bought a 2GB Sandisk memory stick from Ebay. It has the MAGICGATE logo on it just like my 32MB PSP memory stick. However, in the XMB, it says MAGICGATE: Unknown (for my 2GB stick). Then I just noticed, the 2GB memory stick I have is a PRO Duo, and the PSP memory stick is just a DUO. Is it possible that it's a genuine memory stick but my PSP doesn't recognize the MAGICGATE because it's a PRO Duo? It even has official SanDisk serial numbers on the back and the country it was made in.

I may wind up needing to buy a 64 or 128 MB PSP memory stick from EBGames in order to install the custom Firmware.
