Well the TA-088v3 identifier thingy is good.

But if you have a pandora and mms, just pop them in with DCv7 or one of the later DC's, and it will give you an option to check the PSP information.

Granted you won't even get that far if it is TA-088v3 because it will boot normally.

So I should just get a Phat if I want to easily mod it then?

Does the phat have to have 3.80+ preinstalled to use a Pandora, or is a Pandora compatible with all PSPs/Firmwares as long as the motherboard isn't a TA-088v3.
