In the mood for a memory stick pro duo mod? We were informed by Henry Eng (thanks for that!) about a memory stick PRO Duo mod that will allow you to use the Memory Stick PRO Duo on card readers that requires an adapter. This will be helpful if you lost your adapter or don't have or can't afford one. But before we go down to the nitty-gritty of things, you should know that you will take full responsibility if anything happens to your Memory Stick. So with that aptly stated, off we go to the procedures.

  1. Cut off about 5 inches of scotch tape.
  2. Tape one end, about half an inch, of the scotch tape on to the end of the Memory Stick PRO Duo.
  3. Place the paperclip end to end with the Memory Stick PRO Duo on the tape.
  4. Bring the remaining tape around the clip and tape it on the other side of the memory stick PRO Duo.
  5. Take about 1 inch of tape and secure around the memory stick PRO Duo and the paperclip.
  6. Use the paperclip and push the memory stick in, make sure it is align with the slot.
Just a few reminders:
  • It might get stuck if you don't tape it right.
  • It might crack and break your memory card, a slim chance but there is the risk.
  • It will not work with cameras or any other device that requires a Memory Stick PRO.
Feel free to click on the thumbnails below for the pictures of the step-by-step procedures.

I might going to make a Memory Stick Pro Duo Keychain just like the USB Keychain! No need to put Duo Adapter. Most Camera have slot pusher then Memory Reader without pusher. I'm gonna test my camera to see if it work.

I agree with 5.



After you do this mod, go stick it in an electrical socket for a real ShOcKeR!!!

this post was useless , they should ban the poster for posting useless stuff. Anyways this is offtopic but why doesn't someone work on a hack for the psp to accept a 120gb flash card , in lik sang they sell an adapter that accepts flash cards for your psp so why not hack the psp so it can accept a 120gb flash card ( which you can buy on ebay for less than 50 dollars ) , it would be iso paradise!

All you have to do is double the paperclip in flat with the MS Pro Duo then taped from end to end. Next you have to taped around the paperclip by side to side, so that will stay the MS Pro Duo stronger!

your guys sarcasm is real lame. I for one would have never guessed that something like this was possible. So take it how you want. If you think it's pointless don't bother commenting cause yall just sound like a bunch of 12 year olds who thinks they know it all... oh wait lot of you guys Are 12...

this should not even make frontpage. i have a laptop with a 4 in 1 memory card reader also. and i have NO trouble fitting my pro duo into the slot where it's suppose to be. and there's still a little bit of the stick sticking out just enuff for me to pull it back out. and yes this is with BOTH of my laptop. presario v2000 and prostar 8794. this crap shouldn't even make front page.. =/
