PSXReality Memory Stick Tester v1.0

I have slowdowns and lagging in other games too does the problem only happen with the 4gb and if possible what other games does the lag happen



where do find that information. how can i display if mine is magic gate or not?

thanks

my slowdowns are gone after reformating using the PSP - it was the fat32 causing MINE problems, may not affect your problem at all!

to check if the stick has 'magicgate' you need a 3.+ firmware (ie 3.0X-oe) goto video and press triangle, you can select information

everything i have runs fine from my 2gb.
tekken runs just fine from the 4gb, i did get some lag with lego star wars 2 tho, and pro evo 6 is just horrible,
mgs portable ops is fine as is every extend extra.

just games that require alot of disc reading i suppose...

my 2gb and 1gb show up as magicgate unsuported only my 32mb shows up as supported. does that mean all of my ebay brought sticks are fake?

tekken runs just fine from the 4gb

yeah alot of my games run choppy but not tekken. could you tell me if outrun, worms, or ys ark of napishtim run choppy for you, becuase thanks to your help i think i may have found the root of the problem which is the fake ms sticks.

anyone know a good bargain for ms sticks, real ones that is.

i dont have any of those games to test, but i have just found out that gta vc runs like a piece of crap

armoured core runs ok

if you want a cheap one look on amazon, they had some for £41 which tbh is awesome

I have actually dropped 2 psp's *LAUGH NOW* (both times while half asleep zzzzz). I noticed after dropping it the first time that gta (vice city and lcs) stopped working smoothly. I sold the PSP think it was ****ed. Each time I dropped it the memory card went flying out of it. I looked at the memory stick and saw that the pins on it were scratched like a bitch. Check ur pins and see if they're scratched, could explain results like these:

EBAY Fake 4GB - FORMATTED - FAT16 (Normal FAT)


EBAY Fake 4GB - FORMATTED - FAT32


EBAY Fake 4GB - HEAVILY FRAGMENTED - FAT32


Conclusion: FAT16 or FAT32 makes NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL, QUIT THE $#@!! Formatting or defrag will increase performance though. Oh and if you can't see the images then get a bigger monitor or a smaller mother, one or the other.
