Dark AleX releases TA-088v3 Identifier: find out if your PSP is unhackable |
Ó
Earlier this month, Dark AleX explained to the PSP homebrew community why the TA-088 v3 motherboard of the new Slim models can't be hacked yet. He even gave us a flowchart to boot. Now, he gives the community the TA-088 v3 identifier. Find out once and for all whether your PSP has a hackable motherboard or not.
First off, download the app below, then follow these instructions (thanks to PSPhacks):
Copy each firmware EBOOT, both 3.90 and 4.05, to the root of your memory stick. Launch the TA-088v3 Identifier (GETIPL) from a homebrew-enabled PSP and it will extract and create the IPLs; if you’re good to go, the app should auto-exit in 10 seconds. This leaves you with an “ipl390.bin” and “ipl405.bin” file in the memory stick’s root.
Next, do this –
- Connect the PSP via USB.
- Format a memory stick with the included “mspformat” tool.
- Use “msinst” to install the 3.90 IPL onto the freshly formatted memory stick.
- Insert the memory stick into the PSP to be TA-088v3 tested.
- Turn it on with a Pandora Battery. Two (2) possible results:
- PSP immediately turns off — your PSP is NOT equipped with a TA-088v3 motherboard.
- PSP stays on with the green light — your PSP is a TA-088v3, or perhaps you’ve done something wrong. Continue…
- Connect the PSP via USB again.
- Repeat the above steps with the 4.05 IPL. Again, two (2) possible results:
- If the PSP turns off immediately with this IPL and it previously remained on with the green light — this indicates a TA-088v3 board.
- PSP and the green light remain on — you’ve likely done something wrong. Try again.
- Whatever the indicator — the TA-088v3 ain’t hacked yet.
