      you still dont give the correct creator of the new design credit. Aaamods came up with the new design way over a year before geniuses copy came out. They are known in the gaming community to steal designs and even game device concepts from people to market it themselves. They order from the original creators and then copy and paste. You need to delete this video and post a correct video, giving a known scammer praise like this is ridiculous.

      You can probably avoid some of the loading lag by getting a TF card made for high speed camera's- they routinely have higher reading & writing speeds over a standard card. (Also, if your not aware- CF, SD, MSD, MagicGate, USB Memory sticks, Etc, are ALL a type of TF card). Personally I'd want to see how much storage it would accept, if the bios can read above 128.

    • @TexasHollowEarth
      @TexasHollowEarth 3 місяці тому +4

      @elvendragonhammer5433 - .... nope. 128GB is max. I've tried 200GB and up, as well as 2 SD card combos under 200GB using ProDuo adapters running on a PSP 2000. Capacity will usually show correctly, but games won't launch.
      I'm in a very similar situation with (New) 3DS and Vita SD cards. I can't get the New 3DS to see a 1TB SD card + can't seem to format a 1.5TB SD card with 64KB clusters (required) to get it working on the Vita 🤷‍♂️

    • @pilcrow182

      And another con is the fact that it makes using official psp memory cards impossible without disassembling the system again. So if you already had one and are using this as an upgrade, you better make sure to back up the old card's contents (saves, homebrew, etc) somewhere accessible so you can copy them to the new setup as needed.

    Back in the day I got the original design from the original guy in Japan who made it. The only flaw with the original one was that it was just tape holding down the flat ribbon cable to the sd card adaptor. When the PSP Go heated up, the tape would lift and the connection from the ribbon cable and the sd card was lost. I went ahead and soldered the flat ribbon cable to the sd cable using thin wires, problem solved.

      Depends on the model of SDtoVita you're using. Are you the game card version, or the one that replaces the 3G modem in the OLED OG?

    I made this mod a couple of years ago and it is truly amazing. Can sign on every word of pros and cons section. The only thing I did besides is removed a copper plated on the rear shell and cleaned up a little bit of plastic of the shell with a file so the card fits perfectly. Yeah, kinda vandalism for somewhat rare piece of retro technology but it made it much more usable now.

    You should also look into the battery pack upgrade using power armor shells. It's not only a massive battery upgrade but also gives some depth to the shell for a more comfortable grip.

    One of the best consoles ever made IMHO, I have two of them. I love how portable and pocketable it is, I used to use mine all the time when I was commuting. I bought the original Kouchan mod but could never get it to work reliably, been looking for a supplier of this one but I can't find anywhere that ships it to the UK :(

    My Go is kitted with a 16GB M2 card (and as a whole I've moved most of my PSP ventures to the Vita, which has its own SD adapter like this now, via the PSVSD and an extension ribbon) but I might do this just for the heck of it. Seems like fun.

  • @sportsgt
    @sportsgt 3 місяці тому

    Another con is that you need the right kind Micro SD Memory Card (older cards don't seem to work very well with this adapter) and you need the right adapter kit, being not all of the ones sold on the market are of good quality...also the limitation of 128GB is a know drawback of being able to have your entire collection in the palm of your hands, but for the most part you can part out yout favroites (i think its up to 100 games can be loaded on a psp before it the os bugs out) That id where categories lighy comes in so you can sort your games in folders and basically drag and dropp your games in whatever sorting style you might want or need

  • @QuestForTori
    @QuestForTori 3 місяці тому +4

    That big slowdown is a problem in games too - games like Motorstorm with a lot of streaming music and FMV will stutter and sometimes hang up with the adapter. In my experience, it's also had the tendency to regularly unmount itself when carrying the PSP around in your pocket, requiring dozens of reboots to try and get it recognized by the system again.

    • @brandonwitzig2551
      @brandonwitzig2551 3 місяці тому +3

      Check if your game is in CSO or ISO format. CSO compression can cause this behavior on the PSP.

    • @triple_lei
      @triple_lei 3 місяці тому +2

      Yeah I've found these big storage solutions sometimes just don't play music. I know in Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded, when you play the Street Fighter II games and get to your second win-quote screen, you won't hear the music at all. But the very first time and all occasions after, it's fine. It's the weirdest thing. I think this music was only delayed slightly on a real 32 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo. I can't remember if it played at all with 64 GB on a PSP-3000 using an adapter.
      Of course, I'm just glad I know those old Street Fighter games inside and out. Makes me wonder what kind of music I'd be missing if I played a PSP game for the first time with one of these big storage solutions... 😐
      EDIT: Also didn't matter if that game was my original untouched PSN download, or I decrypted it to an uncompressed ISO. It did run fine on a Vita with 512 GB, but I hate the Vita d-pad, so.

  • @TheRealGara

    Ugh I still have some of the Kouchan mods. Those evil things used this sticky tape stuff to attach the ribbon to the sd card converter and it was not only hard to apply, but it also had a high rate of degradation. I replaced mine with the soldered versions that have been available for a few years on Etsy. Cool to see more options.

    I have an an adapter for my PSP2000 but there it is much easier since the device comes with a big MemStick slot.
    In your video it looked like the one in the GO was slimmer.
    It's too bad the Go costs so much nowadays, given I backed up all my UMDs anyway (luckily my PSP's UMD drive still works), this would be a nice replacement.

  • @stevenbaumann1592

    This along with the ps vita battery and back panel mod make the PSP go 10x better but you can't use the dock if you were lucky enough to get one of those but there is a cable that does the same thing. I think this nice for playing at home if you sync up a PS3 controller.

    There’s a fix for the folder load time. Using the categories plugin allows you to put games and emulators in folders on your sd card. This allows you to break up your content. You can do folders by genre or alphabetical and will yield faster times.

    The PSP Go was the last PSP to be released in the US. Europe received the PSP E-1000, which removed Wi-Fi capabilities and was more lightweight. The shell was matte black. It's a nice, little console.

    • @numbazZify

      Stereo audio, wifi and maybe even video out were removed. The battery was made more of a pain to get to (because it's behind that big, clunky UMD door). I'd only want one if I could mod it to play downloads, then give it a cellphone battery mod.

    if i saw this a few years ago, i would've done this exact same mod for my dust collecting PSPGO. but i recently got given a PSVITA which in all honesty, a better overall handheld from the PSPGO. Modifiable, Better OLED Screen, Access to a larger library, more advanced homebew, and what i like the most; Vita simply has the exact same hardware/pcb as a psp inbuilt so playing old PSP games is just as good.
