I have ordered a PSP & it should be with me tomorrow. I may also like to play some MP3s on the unit, will I need a memory stick for this? I read a review on Amazon from some guy who said he bought a memory stick & it was the wrong one. Can someone give me any info about exactly what I need please?

Hanley

You need a memory stick duo

Nick

Thanks, are there different speed versions? I've seen a memory stick duo pro I think. I don't have any other products that will take a memory stick. Can I transfer music using a USB cable?

Nick

What does magic gate mean please?

Hanley

£56 inc postage and postal insurance, also it's in the UK

I bought mine from E-Bay



edited to add there are no speed variations - all the same!!

Hanley

You can transfer mp3's to your psp via a usb cable.

I use the usb cable that came with my sony digital camera


Here's a decent one which also charges at the same time

Thanks very much people. I'll look around for another source though, the guy on Ebay looks to be shipping from the US.

Hanley

There are loads of UK ones on E-Bay, just need to look. Incidentally I bought mine from Hong Kong and it was fine.

Hanley

But they guy has 39078 feedback with 99.2% positive

Can't get much better than that, I'd buy off him

Yeah seems to be UK

My PSP is 1.50 firmware which is classed as 'chipped'

Quote from sony...

"MagicGate is copyright protection software that consists of authentication and encryption technologies. The authentication technology ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices and media, and that it is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized copying or playback"

leonpoole

So have you got the umd emulator to play the copied games

Nick

Thanks for the link. I think I have a cable that's suitable (it doesn't charge though), I got the cable with my Canon digicam, I've also got another the same with my Rio Karma.

leonpoole

I have the emulator and loads of games, if anyone has any games they would like a copy of in return for some of there copies id be happy to deal with

Nick

Argh! Blasted copy protection! Does it stop you from copying stuff?

Edit: I mean copying a regular MP3 file that I've ripped from a CD or converted from OGG from my PC to the PSP.

Hanley

Yes I use FastLoader

Picstop were the cheapest when I was looking on the web recently at £62.90 plus £1.90 delivery.Mine arrived next day too from them...
Fastloader 0.7 seems to be the best for me at the moment.Tried 0.8 version and it wouldn't load a couple of games which loaded fine with 0.7 so that's on hold until a newer release comes out..

Good luck

Hanley

I agree with NickAdams

Also had a few problems with Fastloader 0.8 so I'm sticking with 0.7 which seems to work for all the games I have

I'm finding the battery life is really poor when playing games from the MS

leonpoole

No you can still copy them. I dont know why sony claim that about the magicgate because everything if transfered to my memory stick has worked fine
