Mr Andrewson Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Ok this is quite weird but normal... i went into town and bought a 512mb sandisk memory card (green :D) from GAME and it was a special offer if you bought something with it you'd get £9 off the card so the man behind the counter said why not buy this old printer cable it's the cheapest thing instore so i went ...Ok... and now i'm stuck with this old printer cable and i dunno what to do with it :roll: i thought about attaching it to a psp usb cable and seeing if i could get images to print off of the psp screen to an old printer but i thought it was way too complicated... P.S: When i put my memory stick in my Psp it said it only had 472mb memory and it's supposed to be 512mb... What's happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 When i put my memory stick in my Psp it said it only had 472mb memory and it's supposed to be 512mb... What's happened? 512000000 / 1024*1024 = 488.28125 The remainder of the difference is probably filesystem, partition table and probably some stuff already having been written to it.

Mr Andrewson Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 Oh so it's the whole 1mb = 1,000,000 bytes situation? So sandisk are saying 1,000,000 bytes is 1mb so that means ive lost... 36mb? And the cable is one of those chucnky ended printer cables them for retro computers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 You could test to see if strangulation will affect the electrical properties of the cable. That's technical. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_tom Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 If your talking about an old parallel printer cable then i would get a null modem adapter, but then i'm sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proskater123 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 if you have an old ps2 controller there is away to hook the two (Ps2 controller, and parrelel cord) together and use the ps2 controller on your computer. Just google. Also have you ever thought about hooking a printer to it. lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
