Help...New PSP

**pun1sh3r** · June 19th, 2007, 15:32

I'm kinda new...I don't post much.

My brother was about to get a PSP at Best Buy yesterday, but my dad wanted to wait to check something about reward-zone stuff.(he found out it doesn't work with consoles) I want to get the stuff to downgrade in advance. We will go today.
They have PSPs with the K code(2.71) and the I code(2.60). I think he's getting the 2.71 one and I want to use this downgrader...so I'm going to need the 2.80 update.(Is this reliable? here)

Is there a better way to do this or am I set? I want to use this downgrade cause it has all those safety precautions(I still want the update either way...just incase)

(btw...I'm at 3.40OE by using that 3.03 GTA downgrade, but I can't do it again for my brother cause the dude I borrowed it from moved.)

Get the one with the I or K code, both are downgradable without the need for GTA:LCS. Whether they'll be Ta-82's I don't know...............but still they're both downgradable.

You are pretty well set man. From what I can tell though the TA-082 boards can be finnicky for no reason, so bear that in mind. Also Best Buy does not sell alot of PSP's (at least in my area) so it's possible that neither of those will be the TA-082 board so double check before you download. Other than that you should be set man.

Do you think the link to the 2.80 eboot is reliable?
I want to use the safest one, and the 2.80 downgrader looks the safest.

"Downgrader for 2.80, 2.80 with TA-082, and HEN-D for 2.80 released!"
Doesn't it work if/if not you have the TA-082?

The 2.80 downgrader patches the motherboard automatically I think if it's a Ta-82.

I have used this downgrader just yesterday (one of my friends bought a psp). But it was a little strange: At first we used the 2.71 downgrader for nonTa82 (there was no writing in the UMD slot) but when we ran the downgrader it said that it was not a Ta79-81...
Then we upgraded to 2.80 and used the 2.80 downgrader for all motherboards (the one you want to use)
And now it was really strange: when we wanted to use the idstorage changer, it said it was not a ta82 and thus needn't be executed...Then we used the downgrader and it worked perfectly...
There were even more strange things: I think you need the AC plugged in when you perform a Sony Update...we'll we didn't do that and it still worked...
But, after all it all went fine, and now he has 3.40OE installed on his psp!!

By the way: I downloaded the updates from this page. It's a German forum, but I think you will understand it: In the second post are all downloads you need. Except for the downgrader itself: I used the one on the left side from dcemu...
