the motherboard you are referring to is the TA-082 motherboard. this is usually on the 2.71 firmware model of the psp. if u get the box with it you can check what firmware and motherboard you have by checking the box, look at this link to show how how to check

also, i suggest you try to get a psp without this motherboard as it would be easier to downgrade, also try to get a psp with a low firmware for example firmware 2.00 as these have lower security for homebrewing

So, if i get a psp with low firmware i should be able to downgrade easier so i could homebrew?
Does homebrewing involve downloading games from net and playing them on PSP many thanks again

Hey i got my psp today and it has firmware version 2.5 what should i do ?

yes it does, the best firmware available 4 homebrewing i would say is version 1.50. it has minimal security and homebrew compatible.

the only problem is trying to get a psp that has 1.50 firmware. i would say your best bet would be get a psp with 2.00 firmware as there are plenty still about

Edit: plus 2.00firmware can easily be downgraded 2 1.50
