PhotoFast CR-5400 Dual Socket Micro SD(HC) to Memory Stick MS Pro Duo Adapter

[Qmark]

Works beautifully in the PSP, and when the PSP is used as a card-reader. Works like total ass anywhere else.

Hi, has anyone found that it is hard to insert a card into slot 2? I'm having some issues but don't want to force it in in case it damages the connectors.

I'd just like to pass this along, as I had so much trouble with it. I used this adapter w/ a 16GB and 8GB Sandisk MicroSD, and couldn't get the adapter to format both together (separate worked fine). I kept getting "Memory Stick Not Inserted" errors during a format, and failed reads if I formatted in any other fashion. I used the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (Google it!) as was recommended, which made it work fine in Windows, but my PSP wouldn't recognize it. After eight hours of trying to fix it in every way conceivable (format one stick, then the other, then both, on PSP, in Windows, etc.), and comparing its file structure with a real Pro Duo with Filer, I noticed the allocation unit difference. Included with the HP USB Disk Storage utility in whatever folder you installed it is a DOS version of the utility called HPUSBF that has a couple more options. Run it on your stick with the -FS:FAT32 -A:32K options (ie: HPUSBF E: -FS:FAT32 -A:32K if E: is the MS). This will format to FAT32, which is a given, but will format the allocation unit to 32K, which is different than the 16K allocation unit I was getting before and matched a known good 8GB stick I had. POOF! It works! 22.2 GB!! Give it a shot if you have this problem. Good luck!
