yikes!
so how do I determine if I'm BUYING a fake then :confused1: ?
Are all the big memory cards ( 1-4 gig ones ) all fake!?
Thinking of buying a sandisk memory stick pro duo and I want to be able to downgrade with it...thats the whole point of me buying a mem stick, being able to downgrade :laugh:
I don't think this is a huge problem as of now. Since I bought my mem card off of ebay 4gig and it says unknown. It still functions perfectly... wait for thundrcloud and psp not working anymore. Anyways though I don't see why they should be made such a big deal of. I think that maybe this unknown thing has to do with the psp not recognizing more then the card or mayeb that the maker of the card is officially sony but uses the exact same stuff just doesn't have the program which tells the psp to recognize it as genuine. For right now as long as your card works I don't see what the difference is besides saving up to 100$ on some sticks which work the same. So Maybe for updating I'll look around but as of now it doesn't seem that bad to me. Sry about the rant.
Edit:
For now I guess to be safe I'll use my 512mb sandisk. But in all honesty I upgraded 3 or more times already with my unknown 4gb.
Thx for the info. Well I'll try not to put stuff on and off as much hope my thing got sold after sitting ins torage instead of after being used.
my memory card read "magicgate unknown". wat does that mean?
I just bought a 4gb sandisk card off ebay and I hope it's not fake cause i spent $60. Luckily I already have 3.40oe installed.
My lexar card doesnt state anything about magicgate at all. Is this normal?
just to be sure, isnt those sticks ONLY without magicgate support? I mean, they dont need to necessary be fakes, just without magicgate.
umm really got the point now. I tought that the magic gate sticks were those with that red and gold letters on it. nevermind. Mine have the "magic gate" logo but doesnt support it :X
I don't think it's completly right statement.
Because some mem card does not support magic gate,doesn't mean their fake all the time
