Checking your PSP MOBO

[d[^_^]b_psp]

Well i was reading dark alex's blog on his website and i learned that he came out with this program that lets you check and see what type of PSP Motherboard you have to see if you will be able to put CFW on it. This is what i got

TA-088 v1, v2, v3... wtf.


As you might have seen on silverspring blog, (great thing about that new NAND support, btw), there are 3 different versions of the TA-088 mobo.

You could already use DC5 with v1, and now you can use DC6 with v2, but v3 (latest one, will come with latest units) can't be pandorized, because of the preipl patched that makes unable (as far as today) to run the Pandora core.

So, just to sum up. Try using jas0nuk's latest pspident (when he updates it to latest mobos :P) to check what mobo do you have, and therefore you will be able (or not) to use latest DC. Meanwhile, remember that v2 comes with 3.90ofw, and v3 would probably come with this same ofw or upper.

Therefore, please don't ask for a new DC if v6 doesn't work for you, as this problem might (or might not) have a solution. Be sure that if any solution is found, you'll see a DC7.

Hope that this and silverspring post clarifies all this things, so you know what can be used with latest DC. If you have any new info about what ofw comes with the v3 or anything interesting, don't hesitate to comment

Requesting some values.


Hi there.

Knowing that there are some users with ta-088 v2 && v3 that made some comments on the other posts, i would like to ask for some tests, just for the ones that believe that have a v2 model of that mobo. (v3 model can't work homebrew, so it would be hard to ask for this values, bleh)

So, run pspident 0.3 from jas0nuk, and please paste the values of tachyon, baryon and pommel here on a comment. (Remember, just ta-088v2 mobos, it will retrieve an "Unable to determine motherboard type or version by hardware info") You can also use the DC6 "Hardware Info" point, it will give you the same results (it will print a TA-088+ if it's not a v1 )

Thanks to all.

But wouldn't you need to have a custom firmware to run this program?

[Midian]

yup you would need a homebrew enabled psp to run jas0nuk's elf loader to run the pspident 0.3 file.

in short its pointless. idk why they wasted their time doing this.
