I thought this adapters were only sold in japan but guess what, this online store is taking orders from anywhere in the world.

I thought all of you would like to know about this, this adapter is compatible with all psps and the new sandisk 16Gb micro SDHC cards. I don't know if this could be considered spam but who wouldn't want to have 32Gb worth of Homebrew, movies, music, etc on their psp and save some serious cash in the process.

hmm, that looks awesome. Just did a lil research and found s/o offering them in Austria ... shipping to germany possible .. great news.

But:

How does that work? I mean do I then have two folders (normal one PLUS additional one) in the XMB? Or does this lill thing simply add the both cards and makes them appear as one?

If it is the latter: what does it do if the space of card one is full during writing onto it from the PSP (or any other device)? Does it copy the rest onto the sec. one or does it check beforehand? I mean I see the advantages of such a piece of hardware, but I also wanna know about possible disadvantages ... has any1 tested this thing already?

Oh, and what about the new 32 GB Micros? will they be supported, too? I mean is it future proof?

Thx in advance!

Ads both cards to work as one, it says you insert both cards, then format it on the device you'll use and then they will act as a single card.

They're being sold on Amazon too now

don't know if it will be future proof but they say they put a lot of effort in making it compatible with current hardware, don't know if future hardware too

possible disadvantage, if you take out one of the micro sdhc cards and write something on it by itself your data will get corrupted but you can avoid that one easily.

edit: I've already ordered mine hehe, as for the two 16gb sticks I'll have to wait

Well, it definately sounds cool that u can use two of the Micros to work as one. But now I see the catch ...

... this lil device simply makes the two work and appear as one ... it's sorta smart, but also kinda frustrating for me, since I thought I may simply insert my micros which I have in my car, for example, containing music and one of them which has videos on it and simply plug them into the thing in order to use it in my psp ...

I mean it's still amazing, but it doesn't work as simple and in the way I thought. Basically, it means that u could also use one 32 GB Mirco in an ordinary Micro-to-MemstickDUO adaptor and u had the same effect

u get my point? I mean I already got one of these here and these 32 GB ones will get much cheaper within only a few months ... even the 16 GB models still cost a damn lot of money

therefore, I think I won't buy one. It's simply not as flexible in use than I though ... of course this - I guess - is not the company's fault, but technical limitations.

it'd be cool if it let them function separatly
like it had 2 memory stick icons in the XMB

Well, I wouldn't consider it worth it to buy $220 in 16 gb microsd's, and a $30 adapter, not to mention tax.. That's still quite a lot for 32 gb. Seeing how by the time price goes down, 32 gb memory stick pro duo might get released, I would rather just wait for the real one instead of using an adapter. On top of that, you can't be certain whether or not it is possible to format this to be compatible with pandora.

uh??
1 16GB micro SDHC - $99.99 X 2 = $199.98
1 CR - 5400 adapter X 1 = $30.00

32GB for $229.98 plus tax

now

16GB MS pro duo = $300 plus tax

in the future

32GB MS pro duo = $300 - 350 plus tax and a price cut on the 16GB one

32GB micro SDHC is on the making too

see the point?

plus you can buy it by parts and don't need to spend all $300 at once

I had 2 16GB micro SD cards so this was a no-brainer!

Working on PSP 2000 Slim & Lite CFW 5.00 M33.

Had a few heart stopping moments during formatting but the trick seems to be :

1. Format 1 card in slot 1 (with slot 2 empty)
2. Move formatted card to slot 2
3. Format card 2 in slot 1 - this time both cards will be formatted.

I wish I could afford this(the 16 gb MSD cards, not the adaptor). I would love to have 32 GB of storage at once on my Phat boy. I'm still workin of 2 4gb ProDuo's lol.
