Will there ever be....

[PrimalMelody]

will there ever be a downgrader that works with the TA-082 mother bored has anyone got one in mind or working on one
?

[Kramer]

i dont think anyone is working on one becuase its so hard to do because the hardware wont let you run any firmware below 2.5

[PrimalMelody]

so basicly those of us with TA-082 mother boreds are F#cked right ?

[Kramer]

for now yes
but maybe you will get lucky and there will be a good exploit that lets you run homebrew from the xmb in one of the newer firmwares

[Accordion]

i think somehow the IPL (the initial boot up, i think) cannot be overwritten properly so downgrading is impossible

[Kramer]

yeah its pretty much impossible

If you buy his multi-firmware module that is.

0okm has made it apparent that there is indeed hope for TA-082 motherboard owners! As simply stated on his blog:

PSP Multi Firmware module will support TA-082 on NEXT Ver.
so if your TA-082 PSP is FW2.50 or FW2.60
don’t update!!!

What does this mean? Well, by the looks of it, TA-082 owners who are currently left unable to downgrade could very well be on their way to 1.50 freedom! Nothing is available to the public as of yet - rest assure, it’s being worked on and we may see something sooner than later. In the meantime - as 0okm said - don’t upgrade your PSP!
