goto info, if it says magicgate then its real.
It does said magic gate and it cost me 24.00
i bought a 2gb memstick in ebay and it says that it is not competable, but it works perfectly *looool* *rofl*
I bought a 2 gig stick from ebay and works fine, buy from UK seller and check feedback there are a lot with 100%
how can a memory stick be fake?
They are not the actually speeds, they dont have a the correct storage and they break eventually.
o, id be mad if i got one of them.
i have a real sandisk 2gb mspd but it runs kinda slow on "certain games", do different cards have different speeds?
Not sure I'm, alowed to mention 'other sites' here, but I speeded up my fake stick totally by formatting to FAT16; don't know why it worked but it did (this is for 4gB ones):

"Before you go any further BACKUP THE MS CARD to your COMPUTER
Say your PSP drive is X
1. Go to Start-> Menu-> Run...
2. Type Format X: /FS:FAT space between : and /
Use windows explorer to reinstall your file structure on the card afterwards
then try your card again"
(Don't worry about the message about 64kb clusters or whatever; that's fine)
I though the PSP formats memory sticks with the FAT16 file system.
Seems not to, at least with the 4Gb ones. I had a game backup with an intro movie - this was unplayable before formatting to FAT16, but was fine afterwards.
This really worked for me! :D
When you buy memory cards off ebay, its a very risky business.
Be careful, check the sellers feedback.
If there are negative ones, check what they say.
Some people sell as a honest product, some are there to just rip you off.
excellent, that worked great on my legit 2gig sandiskQuote:
