Homebrew with TA-082 and Jap 1.5

**Jase555** · August 24th, 2006, 16:30

Hi. First post so please be kind.

I have searched the forums but can't find what I'm looking for. I have a Jap PSP firmware version 1.5 that also has the TA-082 motherboard.

Can I still install devloaders and the custom firmware by Harleyg without turning it into a brick.

Thanks

Never heard of a 1.5 with a TA-082. I would think that you can install whatever homebrew you want to it but don't get mad at me if by sime random chance your PSP bricks. Did you downgrade using 0okm's method or did you get it as a 1.5?

I got it today from Hong Kong (Ebay) as an import. the Firmware is showing as 1.5 and the motherboard is an TA-082. I am assuming its an original.

We will soon find out. You have to take some chances in life eh

I am about to add Harleyg custom firmware 0.2 unless someone warns me not to in the next 10 mins

cheers

There's no way I'm believing that you have a 1.5 TA-082 motherboard. Are you 100% sure it's a TA-082, or did you just read a tutorial and guess?

That...is very wierd. A Jap. 1.50 with a TA-082 motherboard, I mean...Where did you get it from?
Are you able to run emulators or any other homebrew in it?

...Oh yeah, and you don't care about bricking it in the next 10 mins?

Sorry, but I smell bull-sh*t in the air.

Open UMD drive top right says IC1003 upside down. That acording to the tutorial is a TA-082 unless someone knows different.

System reports 1.5 firmware.

If it is not new then someone has cleaned every mark and fingerprint from it and repackaged it to an incredable level of detail.

Why is this so strange?

No bull. I don't want to brick it. I've been waiting for 10 days for the damn thing to be delivered and will be gutted if it does.

but unless I try then there was no point in buying it?

Thats why I posted here to get some help first.

the counter is holding for now. there is no rush

Is the writing in the top left corner or the top right corner (looking at the UMD drive)?

looking at the UMD drive. It's open at the top. The writing is in the top right corner. IC1003 upside down text.

I looked at a picture which showed both. Thats how I figured it was an TA-082.
