UPDATE: TA-082 Downgrader a fake, says Dark_AleX |
Ó
Now, Dark_Alex is Dark_Alex and his word is always taken for the truth. TA-082 users have been waiting for this downgrader for such a loooong time now that we won't blame them if this time they take DAX's word with a grain of salt and scamper to try out this downgrader. But in the words of QJ blogger Pranav, "we don't want to be part of the confusion" and also since we don't wanna take part in you guys bricking PSPs, we decided to take down the file.
Now, we have warned you: This downgrader is a fake. If anyone does decide to go somewhere else for the files, you're doing so at your own risk.
As some of you in the forums have noted, ChaosZero of PSP HaXors wrote about the release of a TA-082 PSP downgrader for people to use. Made by dark_thug, he notes that with the proper additional software, TA-082 units with 2.50, 2.60 and 2.71 firmware types can now switch downgrade to 1.50 or 2.71 SE-C. Now, on to the tough bits of this little article. There are a lot of warnings that need to be given in case you feel the urge to use this app. Here's the combined weight of PSP HaXors warnings and our own:
- Some games will lock up in 2.71 SE-C.
- On 1.50, trying to change settings menu gives a Blue Screen of Death. You won't be able to change your Video Options, System Settings, etc.
- On a brighter note, the BSoD could theoretically be fixed, using an app like X-Flash to flash a new system reg from a 1.50 user! Or, while making the dump, switch the 2.50 reg with the 1.50 reg. This is risky however.
- The TA-082 Boards can also be downgraded to 2.71 SE-C! The BSoD will be gone. The catch again, you may not be able to return (to 1.50). If you can, it will most likely use the same update made to downgrade from 2.50. That still has not been tested.
- Using this to downgrade to either 1.50 or SE-C leaves you with that particular state. Attempting to upgrade, according to 0okm, will most likely brick your PSP so you probably shouldn't try it.
- We haven't tested this on our unit, so you'll be attempting this at your own risk. Make sure you know what you're doing before you try it out.

Holy crap.
I'd wait on this people, too many buts about this makes you wonder. Give it time to mature as many talented coders out there can add to this.

This is awesome. I just bought a PSP for my little brother; TA-082 with 2.71 firmware. Can't wait to see if this works.
Now all we need is a 2.8+ downgrader for my cousins and we'll have ourselves a Liberty City Stories party. =)
1,342,457,687th YES!!!!
has anyone tried it and had it work? or brick?
well its been a good while since the last site of a softdown for all the TA-082 users although im a TA-079 user id just like to say Good Job To Any Inspireing Developers out there and good luck softdown-ing ^.^
@???

OMG its a miracle!!!!! eventhough I dont have a TA-082 board

o well, nice work here! i wont need this, but im sure it will help others. I on the other, will now be getting swarms of noob questions on how to use this thing.. >_>
It works for me !!!! loud and clear !!!! yes yes yes thank you all I m so lucky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1.50 1.50 1.501.501.501.501.501.50!!!!!! Ive got it ha!!!!!!!
that is sage advice. thank you for that
lol... damn i was gonna sell my psp to a friend just cuz the older psp's could be hacked.... dammit
@yeeehaaa
congrats mah man :)
maybe you can share your experience @pspmod.com :)
agree, ***** the ta-082 *****gots. they should go eat a russian prostitutes *****. *****ing *****gots, ***** the *****ing queer *****s. *****ing magots ***** you and your gay *****ing support for 2.8 eat my ***** you *****ing *****s... ***** i *****en i every *****ing 1 of you *****s. go ***** yourself and your mom. ***** you
ps. go ***** yourself queer retards
SWEET... grats all you TA-082ers
Hey when I run the check and dump file it says i dont have the right psp even tho i downgraded to 2,50
im not going to risk this.. no way..
he's a filipino
Yea, definitely not worth the risk, but it is a first step. Hopefully in the future it will become more reliable. It would also be nice if you didn't risk bricking your psp after you performed the softdown.
But its a step forward!
OMG it Bricked my white 2.5 TA-082...
then tried it on my friends 2.5... it worked!!!
hahaha /\/\/\/\ you retard you bricked your white psp.
try formatting your MS and see if it loads up :)
I softdown my white 2.5 psp to 2.71 se-c and NO PROBLEMS!
good job fate! congrats!
w/e ill go buy a new one
I got an idea to stop the BSoD.
Before running the downgrader, Restore the PSP's System Settings to Default.
have you tested it or is it still a theory?
it could work. but 1.5 may still not recognize it right?
have you tried the xflash method and/or the 2.5/1.5 registry swap method?
haha
f*** i bricked my psp
Chaos zero took the downgrader from another topic at psp-hacks and closed the original topic then made a new topic like he found the *****. He is a fake.
Chaos zero does alot of ***** like that, takes others ***** then takes all the credit.
at least he didn't fail to mention the original coder, dark_thug.
and he's not like other forum mods who are still closed to the idee that this is now possible.
But why not give credit to the original poster/finder? Cause Chaos is fake.
so you mean dark_thug? register at pinoypsp.com he's the one who first posted it.
we want a downgrader for 2.8 only comon wtf ive been waiting ages for a 2.8 downgrader not this...
congrats on another release of a TA082 downgrader, I knew it was only a matter of time!!
are you sure you want to release it tho dark_thug??? someone might try to get into your hotmail and then you'd have to abandon the project, burn your computer, go into witness relocation and we will have to wait another 6 months for a new TA082 downgrader... yeah i said it...
No i mean this guy -- > http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id+56835
that is highly possible. some sony fanboys will try and get him.

GOD DAMN YOU *****IN QJ YOU ALWAYS NOT *****IN 100% RIGHT. ***** YOU STUPID ***** SUCKING MOTHER *****IN WHITE TRASH NO GOOD SON OF A *****IN ***** THAT NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN BY SONY!
GET YOUR STUPID MOTHER *****IN WHITE NOSE ***** ***** OFF THE MOTHER *****IN INTERNET
over 100 (literally) that be patient you should have listened!
i just felt like saying alot of swear words. haha, but yah jokes all around. let me know when the 2.8 dgrader is out
Even more now that you knew that a downgrade has been released then you should have waited for some more time.(i dont now how it feels to be left out.like u guyz)
if i was you i would have waited for the big PSP2 to release it would had been better then ps3 or evenly macted
I like big hairy wieners
how do you all know its only for factory 2.5 psp's only??
VCS is a lot better or you could do the UMD swap trick with ONE UMD and you could have a LCS party
haha you stupid n00b
you shoulda read the readme but u dint becasue you are teh suck
HAHAH
you breK EVERYTHING!
TA-082 users, now you're prayers has been answered. Don't forget to thank Dark_Thug. A simple "Thank You" will do.
WOOOOHOOO!
Wait, I have a TA-079 with SE-C on it.
Nevermind!
No reason to downgrade if you're 2.71, can do everything but custom firmware on 2.71, and color me unimpressed by the few extra features and visual mods 2.71SE allows
yeah thats cool for the TA-082 User but I have a non TA-082 PSP and I am on 2.80.
thats nice, good luck for all those ta-082 users and welcome to kernel mode :) sadfully, im still a 2.80er with the oldest of olds mobos awaiting ipl access for a downgrader, o well
this is great news for the scene....although it may only apply to a small prcentage of psp's....it is still good
~
.....i am still wondering however....what happened to 0okms softdown. ?
Why should anyone downgrade a 2.71
I use the devhook 0.51 launcher port for 2.71.
Works great. I play all the latest games from my memstick on my 2.71 TA-082.
could someone make a youtube video of it/
amagad 5th
does this work on 2.8?
i like to rub whipped cream on my balls and dangle them in front of my front window!!!
when you download this downgrader it says
Note:FW 280 - 2.82 Not yet supported!
Look mommy it's santa clause, and his nose has shrunk!
IT BRICKED MY PSP !
***** YOU HOMEBREW-SCENE
***** YOU DOWNGRADER
***** YOU DARK_THUG
***** YOU QJ
***** YOU ALL
why dont all you TA-082 users just try it and if it works fine if not dont worrk there will be loads of cheap psps on ebay right after xmas
matt if you dont even know how to talk get out we sure dont need you here ! BI@TCH
we dont need ya get the ***** out ! BI@TCH
never try something that sais like 6 times it could brick your psp...i would not try this unless 80% of the people sais it pass....pretty sure YOU DID something wrong !
pumpin the handle of the chocolate screen saver brings in the rewinding magnitude needed to correctly perform the directing of the TA-082. trust me
Why take a chance bricking when you can safely emulate a 1.5 with Hen-D and Devhook 4.x for FW 2.71?!!!
Still sounds VERY unstable but the homebrew community has been waiting a very long time for this. Great work dark_thug!

Woah this is awesome!
personally, i own a psp without a TA-082 Mobo, running 2.71se-c and im fine with it, but ive wanted a second one, just to try some mods with. i was afraid of buying one, and getting a TA-082 motherboard, so i didnt bother. im no9t really afraid to buy one now, but of course ll lat this app mature into something even better before i use it.
a lot of games don't work when use this downgrade. And by downgrading this, you won't be able to upgrade again. So i guess y'all should stick with Hen-D
What can i say well no nead to downgrade for me i am a pround HEND User ;) but maybe later on in life when I get bored with psp I might try it out ;)
Getting my TA-082 to emulate 1.50 + 3.2 took me a few days but it was fun learning new things in it.... now is just a breeze learning other new stuff.... If you didn't take the time to learn how then you are just plain lazy.
Log off life dude. Give up.....there is nothing beyond your moms basement
the cons are too great to even think about trying it. Devhook on 2.71 is safe and all I need.
woho, watch ur moth, matt
Is it just me or does this downgrader seem un-needed, not in anyway trying to insult the programer. But im a 2.71 ta-082 user and my psp does everything a 1.50 can do. I can emulate 1.50 anytime i want to and emulate 3.01 anytime I want to. So is there really any reason to risk a brick and maybe a psp that doesn't function 100%? For all you out there that just do things without knowing the details, please do not use this downgrader, you will virtually regret it and I can bet on it.
who tries to use this twice tho
i bout a white 1.50 hahahahaha i laf @ u

listen the guy that said this told us that he tested this with his 2.82 ta-082 motherboard using the upmodchip. LOLZ he can even make up a good fake. how the hell is he running prx's off the damned eloader? if someone knew that before, there would have been a 2.80 downgrader already. du,b ***** *****ard i swear dumb asses. okay so my friend has a ta-082 that means the modchip will work right. WRONG he needs to go ***** his uncle
maybe people should have trusted 0okm. at least if he couldn't downgrade them then we'd know and he'd get bad rep and wouldn't be trusted.
but look how much effort he has put into the psp scene.
I hate these *****ing fakes...
my psp is bricked

I guess my cousins 2.71se, ta082 is fake too then.
seriously you guys are *****tards, come head down to psp-hacks.com.
They actually know psp downgrading on the forums. not like the dum *****s here on QJ.
Are you?
dark_alex > 0okm
0okm go fu** yourself
go kill yourself.
guys ITS A VIRUIS AND A FAKE
So does this downgrader work or not
fartnokker has a point, its known that this could brick your psp... and still you didnt read the "readme" to be absolute sure what you had to do
it's real.
go downgrade and save us the time, after you downgrade uninstall your internet and install several trojan horses in your computer.
We need you to stay with us Dark_AleX (if you're still thinking about leaving the scene that is)!
With common sense, I waited until an official word was said that this should work.
How hard is it to read and comprehend an article?
im a ninja
*****ing fake i gotta be more careful now qj before you post a article about a downgrader please confirm it works ffs i dont want a fake 2.8 downgrader and only relise it is a fake later!
Omg, I've had a TA-082 for a while and have desperately wanted to downgrade. I've followed every article, every thread, and tidbet of information. Finally, today I got this downgrader and it works!!! THIS IS NO FAKE PEOPLE. IT WORKED FOR ME. IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.
Wohoooooooooooo !!!
I don't care that it is a fake tho but that is bad for the people who wanted this.
5th
like peter griffin says to brian, i say to you dumb@@$
i wish 2.81 downgrader is come out..
i wanna use Devhook!!!
i am referring to the downgrader 0okm was said to have made. although it was a daunting task and required a lot of time to do each psp. and he did not want the source of anything leaked, so required an isp email address. therefore, everyone flipped out about it.
i was saying maybe if people trusted him we wouldn't have to deal with this fake. duh.
and even if i did misread the article, that makes me a noob?
stfu. :)
dark_thug does not intend this to be released in other forum/websites because it was only intended and made for us filipinos thats why he posted it only in www.pinoypsp.com... some ***** just leaked it to the other sites
the memory stick has absolutly nothing to do with the FLASH inside the psp...anyway if the psp is briked he cant get to format it unless hes got a ms pro duo loader wich a few people own....i give advice when i know what im saying....
i luv buttsecks!
tu maadre is a horrr
mine worked fine now i have a 1.5 yes
two psp new en garantie, Ta-82 you show me!
i'm test this!
^^Yea right *****
This downgrader does work so this means that either DAX is a lier and will claim a prog similar as his own OR it wasn't even DAX who said it doesn't work.
ninja hahahahahaha
It bricked yours.
Then you tried on your friends!?
Why would you do that, if it bricked yours, how big was the chance that it'd brick your friends too !
Or, maybe Sony still IS racist and only the black TA-082's can be downgraded
dere will neva be a dg devs are too lazy to make one theyre all like aww 2.71 custom firmware this and that its bul***** i tells ya make on or i will give u aids
its your fault for upgrading :)
if anyone here has read on max console but this is fake. although there are many reports of success.
no i'm so confused to weather it's real.
but i don't need it : TA-080 2.71 SE-C
dark_alex maybe well-knowned for his generic downgraders but when someone surpasses his limitations, all he has to do is claim that the downgrader is fake.
he hasnt even tested it yet.
jealous? or does he want to get all the credits to himself?
Agreed
Eat turds u b!tch!z
I would listen to Dark_Alex. He is really the only developer who has done alot for anyone with a newer(ta-082 psp). I have 2 psp's 1 is Ta-082 I'd luv to get 1.5 on it without emu. For now DAX's devhook port for HEN-D does everything I need on a second PSP.
gay
wooo, whoever made this fake is a fat f:u:c:k!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
downgraders don't just "come out", a whole new exploit to access and modify the flash will have to be found for 2.8, tiff doesn't allow full kernel access.
until 100% of peeps say that it works!
I have a 2.80 PSP (yea, Im a dum-ass, I upgraded 2 days before the 2.71 custom firmware came out)
and now I want 2 downgrade to1.50, to play a few emus!
but I dont wanna brick ma PSP doin it...
any advice???
Get a downgradable psp on Ebay, or wait for future exploits that may or may not ever be found. Try getting one with a cracked screen with older firmware if you can replace parts, their ya go:)
How hard is it to read and comprehend a post? haha.
You can play emulators on 2.80 dumb a$$
Dark_AleX doesnt know s:h:i:t
work on 2.8 damn it
i just bought my PSP (brand new) and it has a "IC 1003" at the back and its on 1.5 FW. is it downgraded?
i find this hard to believe unless someone clearly showed the ic-1003 in UMD bay and did the downgrade on youtube
YOU GUYS WILL EAT YOUR WORDS.
why are you so in love with dark_thug? he's obviously a fake, and you defended him on PSPMod too. what up wit dat?
FROM WHAT IM READING LOOKS LIKE IM SCREWED.
2.81 crack it come on lads. i hope somone cracks it soon. had 2.71 fw with t082 had it for months waiting to be cracked. brother bought me ape escape 2 for chritmas and installed it on my psp with 2.81 fw SAY NO MORE
