The following is a memory stick
Memory Stick, also known as MS card, is a removable flash memory card format storage device manufactured by Sony Corporation , and was launched on the market in October 1998; it has also been summarized as the entire Memory Stick memory card series. This series includes Memory Stick PRO (allowing for better maximum storage capacity and faster transfer speeds), Memory Stick Duo (small format version of Memory Stick, including PRO Duo), and Memory Stick Micro (M2), which is smaller than Duo ). [Edit this paragraph] Memory Stick usage
The original Memory Stick provides a maximum capacity of 128MB, and the Memory Stick Select allows two 128MB capacities in one card. The Memory Stick with a capacity of 8GB was announced at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2006. However, according to Sony's information, the maximum possible capacity of the Memory Stick PRO is 32GB.
Generally speaking, Memory Stick is used as a storage medium for portable devices and can be easily removed and accessed by the PC. For example, Sony's digital cameras use Memory Sticks to store image files. With a Memory Stick reader (usually a small box connected via USB or other cables), users can copy pictures without having to connect a Sony digital camera to a computer. Memory Stick users have already included Memory Stick slots in Sony digital cameras, digital music players, PDAs, cell phones, PSPs, and other devices as well as Sony's VAIO personal computers.
In addition to copying image files from a digital camera, users can also copy any type of file to or from a memory stick. There are also card readers on the market with PCMCIA, CompactFlash or 3.5" floppy disk interfaces. In terms of compatibility, older MS cards can be used with newer reading devices (the shorter Memory Stick Duo can also be used with an adapter) can be used). However, Memory Stick PRO and Memory Stick PRO Duo generally cannot be used with older reading devices.
Memory Sticks are a standard developed exclusively by Sony and are manufactured by third parties such as SanDisk. and Lexar. Although it is a standard exclusively supported by Sony, Memory Stick has a longer lifespan than other exclusively supported flash storage formats. [Edit this paragraph] Features of Memory Stick
In addition to its small size and In addition to its extremely high stability and copyright protection functions, as well as its ease of use in various memory stick series products, the advantage of memory sticks lies in the large number of products launched by Sony that utilize this technology, such as DV camcorders, digital cameras, and VAIO personal computers. , color printer, Walkman, IC recorder, LCD TV, etc., and a full range of accessories such as PC card converter, 3.5-inch floppy disk converter, parallel export converter and USB reader/writer make the memory stick easily connect to PCs and Macs .
After the launch of the memory stick, a series of companies such as Samsung, Aiwa, Sanyo, Casio, Fujitsu, Olympus, and Sharp have expressed support for this format. Sony is still looking for home use. The electronics industry and IT industry recognize the memory stick format. Sony will introduce more products representing the latest development of memory sticks to the domestic market in the future.
The disadvantage of memory sticks is that they can only be used in Sony digital cameras. Secondly, the capacity is not large enough.
Sony has reduced the size to about 1/3 of the memory stick and designed and manufactured the memory stick Duo, with an external size of only 31×20×. 1.6mm, the weight has also been reduced to 2 grams, which is very similar to xD cards and is very easy to carry. This memory stick Duo is easily used in quite compact mobile phones and digital cameras, as well as various mp3 players. in electronic products.
In order to obtain larger capacity and higher speed, Sony has launched a new Memory Stick PRO, which was jointly developed by Sony and Sandisk. Its appearance is smaller than that of the Memory Stick. Changes, but can achieve 8GB capacity. Older devices will not be able to use this new Memory Stick PRO. However, digital products produced now with Memory Stick PRO slots can be backward compatible and use traditional Memory Sticks. In addition to serial transmission, Memory Stick PRO also supports parallel transmission to achieve simultaneous transmission and reception of multiple types of data. In parallel transmission mode, data is transmitted at a speed greater than 160Mbps (theoretical value), making it possible to record DVD-quality moving images in real time. With this kind of high speed, Memory Stick PRO can also support the advanced solutions brought by the coming broadband era. There is no blue or white bar distinction between Memory Stick PRO. All Memory Stick PRO have copyright protection function. [Edit this paragraph] Memory stick style
Dimensions are: 50mm x 21.5mm x 2.8mm, weight 4 grams. It has a delicate and eye-catching blue shell (the new MG is white) and has a write-protect switch. Unlike many Flash Memory cards, the Memory Stick specification is non-public and there is no standardization organization. It adopts Sony's own appearance, protocol, physical format and copyright protection technology. To use its specifications, you must negotiate and sign a license with Sony. Memory Stick also includes a controller, using a 10-pin interface, the data bus is serial, the maximum frequency can reach 20MHz, the voltage is 2.7V to 3.6V, and the average current is 45mA. It can be seen that this specification is quite similar to the MMC that appeared at about the same time.
In March 2003, the Memory Stick Pro Duo was designed and manufactured based on the Memory Stick PRO. It is an improved product that supports the parallel interface of the past Memory Stick Duo. Memory Stick PRO Duo packs and compresses all the advanced features of Memory Stick PRO into Duo format. It uses higher density overlay technology.
In addition to serial transmission, Memory Stick Pro Duo also supports parallel transmission and can transmit data at a speed of 160Mpbs (theoretical maximum). This medium responds to the increasing use of advanced applications in the broadband era, providing a quick and easy way to reproduce high-resolution digital images, as well as large-capacity presentation data. Memory Sticks allow recording of copyright-protected content and high-speed data transfer, maintaining high compatibility across a wide range of products, including small mobile devices. By connecting the adapter, it can also be used with products compatible with standard size memory sticks. [Edit this paragraph] Different memory stick versions
The earliest generation of memory sticks were about the size of chewing gum, with capacities ranging from 4MB to 128MB. Soon such capacity became too much, so Sony developed a new "Memory Stick Select" (Memory Stick Select). Its principle is similar to the earlier 5.25" floppy disk, that is, it can be used on both sides. An optional memory stick has two sides. , 128 megabytes per side, with a toggle switch that allows you to select front or back. This solution was not actually widely accepted, but it also allowed older memory stick readers to use larger capacity memory sticks that are still being produced by Lexar. 256 MB optional memory stick.
Memory Stick PRO is the ultimate solution for large-capacity memory sticks. Most older reading devices can also support MS PRO through Flash ROM updates. The card reader is also compatible with MS PRO. The transfer rate of MS PRO is faster, and the maximum supported capacity can reach 32GB (as of June 2005, the maximum capacity is 4GB). All MS PROs larger than 1GB support high-speed transfer mode and large capacity. The memory stick is much more expensive than an SD card or CF card with the same capacity.
The MagicGate standard is an encryption system that can protect music from being downloaded and played by authorized devices and cannot be copied. Some MS and all MS PRO support MagicGate.
MS Duo Adapter and MS PRO DuoMemory Stick Duo is the smaller version of the memory stick. It is mainly used to compete with the SD format. It is used in card digital cameras, mobile phones and PSPs. It has a version corresponding to MS (supports high-speed mode or not, has MagicGate or not, etc.). An adapter (usually sold with the card) allows the Duo to be used like a larger memory stick.
Sony announced on September 30, 2005 that its joint venture factory with SanDisk would launch a new memory stick format. The new Memory Stick Micro (M2) measures only 15 × 12.5 × 1.2 mm. Theoretically supports 32 GB. Maximum transfer speed 160 MB/sec.
On December 11, 2006, Sony and SanDisk released the expanded specifications of MS-PRO, the new Memory Stick PRO-HG.

[Edit this paragraph] Repair method of memory stick hardware failure
Fault phenomenon: When a 128MB SONY memory stick is inserted into a digital camera after transmitting data through the card reader, the camera prompts a MEMORY STICK error. Use the camera The computer's formatting tool is ineffective in reformatting the memory stick, and it is basically determined that the memory stick has a hardware failure.
Troubleshooting: Use the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor to pry open the memory stick to find out. The plastic casing of the memory stick is sealed and does not provide a way for users to open the casing, so we can only slowly cut it with a knife and try to slowly pry at the opening. It is easier to open the shell of some so-called parallel-imported fake sticks. They have fewer bonding points and sometimes more than half of them will be broken with just a pry. The real thing requires a lot of trouble because it uses a large area of ????gluing. Don't pry hard if you can't pry it open. In order to protect the appearance, try to cut it slowly. Taking out the main circuit board of the memory stick, you can see that its structure is very simple. The PCB mainly contains a control chip, a memory chip, a write-protect switch, a small number of chip resistors and capacitors, and a chip transistor. With the help of a magnifying glass, I carefully observed each component and found that the pins of the memory chip seemed to have a weak soldering phenomenon, so I decided to use a large-area repair welding method, that is, regardless of whether the solder joints are normal or not, all the solder joints are reheated and repaired in a certain area) .
Since the chip pins are relatively fine, you must be extra careful when using an ordinary pointed soldering iron to prevent the solder from short-circuiting adjacent pins. At the same time, pay attention to anti-static. It is recommended to use a hot air soldering station for repair soldering, which is safer and faster. All the pins on one side of the chip are heated and then pressed and fixed when the original solder melts. After repair soldering, the memory stick came back to life. For repaired memory sticks, the shell can be resealed with AB glue. It is not recommended to use 502 glue because although it is fast, it is easy to produce white residue.
Failure analysis: The plastic material of the fake memory stick shell is thinner and softer than the real thing. In addition, the welding process of the fake products is uneven, so frequent plugging and unplugging of this kind of memory stick can easily cause the internal chip pins to desolder. Leading to failure, most of the parts that were soldered were memory chips and a small number of control chips
The following is PSP3000
In October 2008, the new model of Sony PSP handheld machine PSP-3000 When it went on sale, compared to the larger changes from PSP-1000 to PSP-2000, the changes to PSP-3000 appeared to be more subtle.
psp4000 and psp2 have not yet been announced.

p>Appearance comparison with psp-2000
1. The appearance of PSP-3000 has almost no changes compared to PSP-2000. But when you hold it with both hands, you can feel that the edges on both sides of the fuselage are more rounded. Although it is difficult to see the difference in the photo, I believe players can feel the difference with their hands
with the addition of a microphone.
2. The design of the UMD disc cover on the back has been slightly changed.
3. Changes in individual button styles and patterns.
In addition, although Sony officials did not mention whether the performance of the new model has been improved, Famitsu believes that the PSP-3000 is likely to have upgraded hardware configuration.
Function comparison with psp-2000
The biggest change in this upgrade: the screen. In comparison, it is very obvious that the colors of the PSP-3000 are more vivid and the reflection phenomenon has also been greatly improved. According to reports, the cost of improving contrast is that the new screen is less bright, but the screen is still easier to see when using it outdoors due to the elimination of reflections.
In addition to enhanced color reproduction capabilities, the PSP-3000 also adds a built-in microphone, making it easier for users to use the PSP3000 to make Internet calls (Skype) or use the voice chat software Go Messenger. [Edit this paragraph] psp-3000 launch time and price:
PSP-3000 landed on the European market on October 15, 2008, priced at 199 euros. It will be released in Japan on October 16, priced at 19,800 yen (tax included). The North American launch date is October 14th, priced at $199.99. Oceania will be released on October 16, priced at AU$299.95, but there will be no bundle. The PSP-3000 console-bound version sells for 199 euros (equivalent to about 2,000 RMB). The publicly bound versions include: "Harry Potter: Half-Blood Prince" bound version, "FIFA09" bound version, "Q&A: Portable" Version" bound version and "Go! Message》bound version. The price of the previous generation PSP-2000 dropped to 169 euros.
(equivalent to about 1,700 RMB) [Edit this paragraph] About the standby time of PSP3000
About 5 hours of game time has always been the most difficult problem for PSP to avoid. In fact, before the launch of GC2008, the US FCC had already released a test report for the PSP3000. The report showed that the battery model of the PSP3000 was the same as that of the PSP2000, both PSP-S110 with a capacity of 1200mAh. The report also disclosed two other types of batteries. Battery specifications, one is a 1800mAh large-capacity battery. As the latest model of PSP host, PSP3000 can be used longer than PSP2000.
Anti-cracking is the real purpose of PSP3000
PSP3000 is an upgrade of Sony's handheld console, but just like its software upgrade, the bigger reason for its hardware upgrade is to block cracking.
However, the PSP3000's screen response speed is improved, which is 8 milliseconds, which is basically enough for playing games. The screen response of the old version of PSP1000 is 30 milliseconds, and smearing is serious in winter.
Regarding other advancements of the PSP3000, we can also see Sony's detailed processing and integrating various functions into the PSP, which may be its philosophy. We saw the microphone, so the camera won't be far behind next.
So when players happily get the PSP3000, they also need to maintain a peaceful heart. Because this is not the final product of Sony PSP, there will be a series of improved PSP models that will include cameras, GPS, microhard drives, etc. in the future. Electronic products will always be eliminated. If the ultimate product of PSP is really ushered in, it will undoubtedly be the second-generation PSP. It will take a few months after the release of PSP GO.
In conclusion, the PSP is just a handheld machine and will always be eliminated. So those who have bought it can play with peace of mind, and those who have not bought it can wait.

At 8:00 am on June 6, 2009, the ISO boot software 5.03GEN-A for PSP3000 was officially released.
Also note:
There is no PSP licensed in China, because SONY has never been sold in the mainland. All mainland game stores sell parallel imports, which are smuggled. Now it is over 3,000. There is a label that says: Original licensed product means that this batch of goods came from Hong Kong. No, it means that it came from Japan or other places, or it is for convenience. If you want to buy licensed products, you can go to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and abroad. The prices are about the same.
At the same time, another boot software cfw corresponding to GEN-A has been released to CFWEnabler3.51 - (July 5)
