Apart from identifying fake sony ms what about sandisk ms identification? Also, is it true that 8gb memorysticks doesn't work properly with cfw? or it does?

8GB sticks work fine with custom firmware, it's just that they don't work properly with the 1.5 kernel.

Any application that's written for the 3.X kernel will work fine with an 8GB.
 
ive had my fake memory stick, for ages, abt 2 years bought it of ebay, never have had anyproblems, been working fine ever since, all iso's have worked for me.. only thing is that some homebrews dont work, but im pretty sure thats cos of my noobiness in installn em. it just goes game could not be started and quits, probly have to change to 1.5 kernel
 
i bought 2 so called genuine sony 4 gb pro duo and i had checked all the tell tell signs that ebay warned about and they read as unknown on my psp. they are both workin fine, maybe slower than an original card, but nothing i cant live with. i suppose time will tell!
 
it is easy to define an fake m.stick,use your psp eg. power on the psp go to the game you see the memory stick click the triangle,then click the information you see at the bottom of the information of the m.stick.If the info. is unknown the m.stick is fake,if supported its original one.

please do not double post.

as for a lexar 16gb MS,there doesn't appear to be one yet.

http://search.lexar.com/exec/?n=1&u1=q&size=16GB&u2=size&q=memory%20card

these appear to be all the memory cards that lexar do in 16gb versions



EDIT: quick google shows that there does appear to be 16gb MS's about
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/compatibl...Sony/Sony+Cybershot+DSC+T30?gb=1&prodid=12160
but i don't know how respectable that site is since i always use eBay or Overclockers.co.uk

DOUBLE EDIT:

this is not true.not all real MS's show as MagicGate:Supported...in fact,if i remember,i seen a friends one time that showed it was real yet it performed like a fake....it's not a be all,end all factor in spotting fakes
 
hey buddy
That was really nice piece of observation.
there are many fake websites which sells product this way and make fool of it.
So many people like you doing great thing like this,
I also want to post some thing like this so I can prevent some users to buying this kind of product.

Don't use focalprice.com users of this forum have found that they are selling non working devices , at super discounted rates. It is not clearly noted that the parts sold are non working...... Best to stay away from them unless you know what your asking for and buying.
