PSP Compact Flash memory thingy

[phantasmagoria]

I don't own, and nore do I really care about the PSP. But i thought you funbois might be interested in this, ripped from another forum:

If you own a PSP then you have more than likely come across the problems of using Sony’s Memory stick Duo, ie they are generally quite expensive and b. its another version of memory that you have to purchase.

So up steps this little device:

(clicky for a better pic)

This (for those of you still stunned by a naked ribbon cable) is a Memory stick Duo to Compact flash converter for the PSP. Created by the guys and gals over at NeoFlash this handy device will quite happily accept any form of compact flash that you have lying around and lets be honest, who doesn’t have a CF card in their digital camera. The device has been tested with 2GB CF cards and also 6GB Microdrive cards and recognises the full capacity of both.

Obviously from the pictures with that little quaint device strapped to your PSP its going to be somewhat less portable, so lets hope that they get around to making a stylish case to put that fragile lot in. Or many PSP’ers are going to be indoors whilst gaming.

Yeah for movies and such, this would be really nice and if it was covered and all. I would use it. How much is a 5+gb cf card anyway?

Well, you can plug it in when the psp is resting and you are about to watch a movie on it.

Eh? By the time they've finished, I would imagine they'll have it rear-mounted.

Also, that looks like it's been ripped straight from another piece of kit, so if they were to take the circuit and recast it, it would be miniscule. Could probably make an adapter that fits into the existing slot and have the CF card on top
