    Default PSP: How to easily identify a fake/genuine memory card in FW 3.xx

    With firmware 3.xx (both in emulated and installed firmware), Sony have sort of added a feature to see if your memory card is fake. Just follow these steps:

    1. In the XMB, go to either Game, Music, Video or Photo.
    2. Press triangle to bring up a menu, then click "Information".
    3. If the MagicGate text says "compatible", then it's a genuine memory stick. If it says "Unknown", it's most likely a fake (at least it's not MagicGate compatible).


    Mine says "Unknown", which doesn't really surprise me as I bought it cheap from a stand in town. It's working very well, though, maybe a little slower than a genuine, so I guess I'm lucky.

    What about your memory sticks, are they genuine?

    Thanks to Muratcan.

    Woo hoo! Mine's supported, and it was cheap! (I got it used )

    and slightly off topic: I found another new feature. If you don't specify a name for an Internet connection, it automatically names it the SSID name.

    Thanks for this. I bought mine off of ebay and it was pretty cheap but I never actually knew if it was real or not. It's worked well so far but I'll have to check its legitimacy when I get my PSP back. Oh man I want my PSP back.

    That sucks that fakes are so prevelant. My 2 gig stick I got off of ebay worked for like 6 months before it totally died. Readers don't even know when it's inserted or not anymore. I think the way you can tell without this software is if there's the reddish colored numbers on the back of it. The fakes don't have any... I think at least, being able to read it in the new version would confirm that.
