I have a few questions here which i hope i could be enlightened.

Well after reading some threads, i found out that i am running the firmware 2.81 with the dreaded TA-082 motherboard.

I fully understand that with that motherboard i cannot downgrade my PSP to the version 1.5.

So i wanted to know if i play homebrew games?
Whether can i insert my personal videos as well as mp3s into my PSP. Without bricking my PSP.

Sorry if these are asked before. Thanks.

well you cant play homebrew but you can play mp3's and your vids on it.

ya vids and music is fine but no homebrew for you sorry. just wait awhile someone will find a way to help you 2.81 users eventually......

Ok thanks guys but i wanted to know with my motherboard isit totally impossible to play homebrews?

**MikeDX** · November 7th, 2006, 16:06

No, not totally impossible.

I suspect before the end of the year there will be a new hole in either the newer firmware or a game, so be patient

**potatoman** · November 7th, 2006, 16:07

no, just impossible to downgrade below 2.5

Ok so i take it that all i have to do is be patient and wait for a new exploit or bug that will be discovered in something right?

Well, how would i know what will mess with my flash memory or rather in what way will i get my PSP bricked. For example, changing themes or?

Thanks.

Since there is no exploit for 2.81, I would imagine you are quite safe.. for now.

and if something does brick your psp, it means there must be some flash access on 2.81, so let us know what you ran to do it!
