Gadget guy: How to get a 32 GB card for your PSP.

Wait, what?!? I hear ya. Pro Duo cards only go up to 16 GB right? 

Well yes and no. Actual Pro Duo cards are only made up to 16 GB but there's a way around this limit.

A while back I bought a pro duo adapter that allows you to convert a micro sd card for use in any device that uses the ridiculously overpriced memory stick pro duo format.

Here's a link to such a device from Walmart, for 17 bucks you get a 16 GB Micro SD card and a bunch of adapters including one for the pro duo. The last time I looked for an actual pro duo the cost was way more than double that.

Up until recently I thought that the maximum storage a PSP could use was 16 GB but I found a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra card at Walmart for $20 dollars and thought I'd try putting it into the pro duo adapter and see what happened. Worst case I'd use it in one of my tablets or my phone.

Well I'm here to tell you it works beautifully in the PSP and now I can fit all my digital PSP games and PS1 games on one card with room to spare, 

Now I'm curious if a 64 GB card will work. I'll get back to ya.

ha ha, when i first got my 16 gig card I thought it was massive.  What a fool I was.  THe PSONE and PSP software library is too incredible for 16 gigs.  Unfortunately i haven't really touched my PSP since I got a Vita, but my love for the system remains.  And I do have this brand new copy of Jeanne D Arc I need to open too....

I haven't finished Jeanne D'Arc, but I have to agree. You have to play it. Like now.

Oh I remember these adaptors. I was seriously thinking about buying one but the Micro SDs where still a little pricey, and forgot about it. After clicking that link I'm thinking about getting one again because I have quite a few PS One/Minis/and digital PSP games that I would like to have all in one spot...but I also need to get a replacement PSP nub first. 

I'm going to save this link for when I get the nub fixed. Thanks for the heads up!

It's amazing. I've got 42 PS1 games and 12 PSP games all on one card with plenty of room left. Now my PSP goes to 11. LOL

Just wait until I find a sub 50 dollar 64 GB SD card. I'll let you know how that pans out

I'll need to see aboutg getting that for my birthday or something. I'm right now on a 16GB but memory is going fast thanks to the free game offer on PS Home. Is that Sandisk Ultra card a MS PRo Duo or an SD card? Either way I could use moar memory on my PSP.

It's a micro sd card but the shell turns it into a pro duo
