PSP running slowly
Hi guys. I was directed here by Grey Ghost, and I was wondering if any of you could help me out with my basic problem.

I just had 5.50 Gen-D2 "installed", and everything was running nicely. However, some time today I noticed that it wasn`t turning on or loading my UMDs as fast as it was yesterday. When trying it out on my smaller memory stick, everything was lightning fast, so I copied all my files, formatted my current memory stick, and put everything back on again.

Nada. Please note that it`s hard to know any less about this stuff than I already do, but I am willing to learn. Starting with this. So, any ideas?

Thanks.

RE: PSP running slowly
So does the smaller memory stick still load faster than your larger one?
Is the larger one just a slower stick?

The smaller one loads faster yes, but when I first used the larger one, it was equally quick.

I`m afraid to do anything to try and fix it without consulting you guys first.

Do you know for sure that your larger one is a genuine memory stick?

Press Triangle on top of your memory stick in the XMB and press "Information" or something similar, does it say "MagicGate Supported"?

Yep. Well, it says "MagicGate Supported" at any rate.

I know one or two people that use the exact same brand of stick...but they don`t have any problems...

RE: PSP running slowly
if it says that, then it seems its genuine, so it may simply be a slower stick than your other, or your noticing a speed difference on GEN compared to M33, that is, if you upgraded from one to another because GEN doesn't have M33s MSSPEED hack.

RE: PSP running slowly
Ah well. It`s not crippling at any rate. The only thing that really bugs me is seeing everything grey-out for a few seconds before actually launching the game, and having to wait an equally long time for the thing to boot ( though I s`pose since I`ve blocked the sony logo on startup, it might be a fair trade.)

It`s not too major, just something I didn`t expect and thought I was overlooking something obvious.

Thanks for your help.

RE: PSP running slowly
Its cool.

At first I thought it may have been PSP burn-out.

When I charged my PSP with a USB-based Cable/Charger, the battery was heating up an awful lot but it seemed afterwards that my PSP would perform a little slower than my sisters, and this was most obvious when wee played games over Ad-Hoc, my sisters PSP would finish loading parts of games a second or two before mine.. and the games didn't like that.

I`ll give it a rest then and see if that makes any difference.

Sorry to say, if you did do the same as me, the damage done was permanent. My poor PSP >_<
