Ok, I got a problem. I have a 1.50 launch psp with the sticky square button issue however I have a in-store warranty that expires in a month. I would just swap it out for a new one but I'm afraid of getting a TA-081 or a 2.81+ fw (or both). Are TA-081 still crippled systems? Playing psone games is a big deal for me.
Would my other option be to buy a faceplate w/buttons or did sony actually change the pcb on the d-pad for the fixed ones...a little help guys, thanks.
Just buy a new button set and faceplate. They are pretty cheap.
I really doubt it matters what firmware you will get back from warranty as you should get a 3.03, even if its a TA-082 you can still downgrade with fanjitas help in the next week or so.
So that would defiantly fix the problem then?Quote:

Just get a new one, it'll be able to be downgraded in about a week or so.
Sorry for my ignorance but can the TA-082s play the ps1 emulator via the custom firmware? The tutorials I've been reading say you need a non ta-082 psp.Quote:

P.S TA-082 can do anything now unless it says TA-079-081 on the downgrader descreption.
P.SS Where do you live.
