Uncertain if i have ta-082

[kindredphantom]

Hello, Ive been considering using the PSP 2.71 to 1.5 downgrader and i have read that it can't be done with ta-082 boards.

I have checked like this picture shows:

After checking my PSP i found no sign of having a ta-082 board but i notice when i look in the top left that under a piece of metal their is something written on the board in gold text. I was just wondering if their have been cases where the IC1003 text is written on other parts of the PSP. The gold text has a gold vertical rectangle at the beginning of it.

never heard of it, but i would proceed cautiously, and be 100% sure before continueing

ok what side is the gold ICXXXX number on, R Trigger side or L Trigger side?

[ExcruciationX]

Never heard of that before!

[SSaxdude]

I've heard of this before. It's not a TA-082, but wait until someone else can confirm this.

i have a ta 82 and i have it written at the right side and abit lower down on the left side it's like pretty hard to see but if you take a close look you can see it says 1C0xxxx

If i were you i wouldent try it..



you can check if u have a 2.5 TA-82 by using 0okms Original FW2.50 TA-082 Check & Dump v1.10

OOh Hell Yea

I hate my 2.5 Ta082 :(

I belive that one day an amazing hacker will discover a method to load homebrew from the XMB menu proberly by hacking the psps kernal memory..

The gold writing is to the right of the right trigger ( looking at the psp from the back).

Here is something i slapped together in MSPaint to give you an idea of it's location.

From what i can make out it seems to say IC6001, though i can't be certain but i can be certain their isn't a number 3. Oh and i have to turn my PSP upside down to read it.

I tried to use those 2 programs that were linked but they won't properly probably because they can't be used on 2.70+ as said by the website they come from.

You can safely downgrade.

The gold text is IC6001 and is on the left side of the motherboard with de back of de psp facing you.

Tell me if it is a PSP bought in Europe. If it is, I am 100% certain you can downgrade from 2.71 when you DONT have the IC1003 on the upper right with the back of the PSP facing you.

[ExcruciationX]

Odd, it's on my original 1.5 also. I say he can downgrade safely. Please tell us how it goes!

[kindredphantom]

I applied the downgrade a few moments ago and it was a success, i am now going to download the 2.0 update and 2.0 -> 1.5 down grader and apply them to my PSP.

Thanks for all the help and advice.

You actually have a lot of luck, because there will one day be a downgrader for 2.8+ (I'm not 100%, but that's the way it seems). Be happy you don't have a TA-082 motherboard and enjoy that new eLoader until a downgrader comes out. ;)
