Non-pandorizable PSP TA-088 Motherboards
greg | July 24, 2008
It’s sad, but true… (Newer?) Slim models utilizing the TA-088 motherboard render Despertar del Cementerio (DC), Pandora, and Time Machine useless — for the time being…
Custom/unsigned IPLs fail to load from the memory stick; that’s likely a result of the kernel 1.50 & 3.40 mix. With that said, we won’t see a new version of DC — Dark_AleX’s universal unbricker — until the revamped core and interface is finished. So in the meantime, be careful.

Not shocking whatsoever. But saying that, remember the old Mobo, which back then it was almost rendered unusable with Pandora, there will either be a fix, or a high demand for Fat’s and Old Slims :D.
Personally I’ll stick to my fat, it does everything just fine, + the (unlucky for the Slim Users :p) Infra-Red! Muwaha :)
infared rules i was in class once and they put on a documentary on penquins or some SH**T so i use the Universal IR remote for the PSP and it turned off everything Even the projector
damn that is so fun! when watching a stupid documentary and you just turn it off! i kept on turning it off until my teacher got pissed and quit the movie!
333 mhz CPU!
64MB RAM!
SKYPE!
THINNER AND LIGHTER!
MUWAHAHA!
But anyway, this was expected.
I wonder why Sony didn’t think about making the IPLs only load Sony software.
the fat has 333mhz, its not only a slim thing. but they did increase the ram and add a tv out while removing the ir and making the umd door cheap like the slim ps2
I wonder how long it will take until someone finds out to bypass this….
I think if they could forge Sony’s digital signatures, you could run homebrew on OFW.
funny tho…. after all this time, this still hasn’t been implemented..
uhh, how about because its ILLEGAL.
Sonys’ code is like their digital signature. If we FORGE it, it’s like forging a signature on a cheque. Do it and the shit will fly.
your thinking of paper signatures. the fact is that a) you need to find the signature in the BINARY (not the source code) and copy every single little bit. sounds pretty difficult, even for D_A. Why do you think that people havent made CFW for say, Xbox 360. Because they sign the updates and even if one bit is touched. the whole file goes AWOL
That’s not how signatures work, there are two very large binary numbers (1024-4096 bits). One (private) number is used for signing data and sony alone has it, the other one (public) is used to check the signature from the first. They are set so large that you can’t calculato one from the other, but you can generate the pair from a common seed.
For short: You can’t find the private keys in the binary, they are not there.
Public keys are there, but they are useless unless you want to check for sony-signed code or to encrypt something for sony’eyes only…
Every stupid Sony PSP “mod” and “security update” was, is and will be cracked. It’s just a matter of time.
MUHAHAHAWAHAHA!
You lead me to thinking, why should Sony optimize their hardware for the PSP Slim after all this time?
I think it goes to prove what Sony’s been saying about the Slim staying for a while, and they want these newer Slims to be out there and unhackable for the next few years that the Slim’s on the market.
I didn’t believe, or at least want to, but this could be hinting the postponement of a new system.
i’ll join in then.
muwahahahahahahaha.
DRINK PISS AND DIE SONY
muwahahahahahahaha!?
without sony, theres no PSP..
yeah Piss Out shit and shit out piss Sony! muwahahhahaha $599 us Dollars!yeah and these battles actually took place and based on actual japenese battles..And here comes this Giant evil robotic crab! $599 us dollars
Luckily i am a phat user not slim.
amen to that lol
I can see people scouring the pawn shops buying Phat and ‘older’ slims just so they can continue using homebrew. Without Pandora, hacking firmwares will once again resume…there has been no need of this since 3.50. Theres gotta be some flaws created since then…
No, its pointless to look for more flaws through code when we could just find out a way to use pandora on this.
For every 1 smart person at Sony designing security there are 100 smarter scene people breaking it. muwahaha
I think that’s for every 100 security designer doing his job on Sony, we only have Dark Alex battling them =P
Im proud of sony(not happy) but at least you know there trying(couldnt tell after last update =/)
But now Dark Alex has somthing to do for the time.
why is everyone doing that laugh? is there a gas leak near by?
a fuck it
MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
lol
Anyway, i won’t say i told you guys. lol
(Already did it. lol)
your a nooby… from kingdom hearts… didnt think they could laugh….
kingdom hearts sucks balls
Keep those type of opinions to yourself please.
If you don’t know how to respect others, get teh Fuk out of here.
lol
Ya im glad i got a slim that i can unbrick.
At least my Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core PSP Slim was, is and always will be, cracked.
MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!1111oneoneone
i love ma psp,but dont really see any need for updates from sony or hacks to the firmware …. everyone can do what they like with their psps with nearly the latest firmware to date,why the constant attack to sony and direct attack to games developers is a mystery seeing as little to no developers will produce software on a crossed out hacked handheld,yet dax and the rest continue ?
not done enough damage already and the psp had such a good chance of having games like morrowind and other pc crossover games like halflife.
Face it, there aren’t enough good games on the PSP to make OFW worth it.
so why after all the psp buzz is now dead do sony make these patches and better still why do hackers hack something they already hacked just for little effect ? i know its so they can say they did so and get a little more Rep but the psp is now dead .. i use mine for a full nintendo/sega and arcade collection and also radio and youtube … you just cant beat it .. but what about the psp games … well yerf there are a few good ones but they run on 3.52cfw so … stop hackin and get a life … and sony please drop the psp as most of us know its now a dead donkey.
How is PSP hacking dead? Just recently, you can emulate Mac OS, Linux and all versions of Windows up to 98 at a decent speed. That opens at least a few possibilities.
Damn dude, you really secretly hate the fact that you own a PSP, huh?
Try a lil optimism. Someone in the community has had this whole “OH NOES THE SKY IS FALLING!!ELEVENTYONE!” every time Sony comes up with some new protection scheme.
Don’t be the village idiot.
all due respect GG-Xtreme ..
mac os and windows 98 were on my psp over 10 months ago.and the linux build aint worth running on psp seeing as the xbox 1 has problems running linux basic due to lack of memory.
im not saying anything bad about the psp,i love it and think its such an amazing device thanx to homebrew like psp radio and pspmaps and others but the fact you can drag an iso into the memory stick and play does the psp no favours.
i own 12 psp games after buying the games that i thought were worth buying after trying isos out then deleted the isos,thats fibe but not many others do this.
Actually, you’re quite wrong about the reasons why companies quit making games. Maybe you don’t release? but it is quite difficult to make a huge 3d game (such as god of war). With good fps, and keeping the battery life correct and making it worth awhile. If they stopped making games because people were downloading them.. then every game system would fail… You can download 360 and ps3 games. So your point is proven wrong. and at E3 sony shoed off some cool new games coming. So i wouldn’t call it “dead”
well.. at least with the ps3, downloading them is only a waste of time.
w8 you can download ps3 games? i thought it could only rip blu rays, not play iso’s… but i guess a download would take forever, like 60 gigs… nah not worth it
The ps3 has been hella hard to hack i believe because of it’s different CPU. It’s more complex to design for.
any way to tell if the psp uses the new mobo before buying it? my friend wants to buy a psp right now [in hong kong] and is asking me if i can help him install cfw on it
How can I figure out what motherboard I have on my psp?
what the fuck is the point of downloading a 30GB+ ps3 game when the fuckin ps3 ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING HACKED YET!?
It’s probably never going to be hacked because Sony actually dedicated a whole partition of the ps3’s processor directly to security/encryption.
Actually there are ways of playing burned games on ps3’s.
Actually there isnt. Not Blu-Ray anyways.
im sick of sony releasing another version of the psp. psp slim is like ver. 1.5 and instead of releasing psp2 they release a 1.7 …. its really dumb, are they waiting to make money off the ps3 which lost so much money cause of poor marketing. they should stop wasting my time and money. and the guy who says stop hacking, you get a life. these hackers make gaming easier for everyone, good thing D_A is on psp and not other systems i dont own like ds and ps2. HackerZ4ever! i smell laughing gas from the Joker Muwahahahahaha!! hoo hoo haha hee hee hoo hoo haha…
the reason why sony lost so much money off the ps3 was because they sold it for under the manufacturing cost.
No, that was Microsoft with the xbox360. The Ps3 has no price cuts, nor will it i’m guessing. Microsoft makes its money through accessories, like controllers, microphones, and XBL, which is a need if you don’t suck.
Yes they will the sony 80 gig will be going for $399.99 this september
The new 80gig is the same as the ol’ 40gig. no new sh*t on it. means only 2 usb’s with an 80 gig hdd no ps ps2 support. so whats special about it?
im saving for a slim the god of war bundle.. any way i got a fat so im goin 2 join the gas circle muwahahahaha!!
ha, ditto. saving for the same thing.
man.. im starting to smell it to. think its coming from my phat..
MUWAHAAAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
well my slim GoW psp works fine and i dont think i will get a new one now. so i am happy
Have you downgraded your slim GoW psp? Has anybody yet for that matter? My friend wants me downgrade his w/ my pandora battery but I’m not sure if it’s a TA-082…
I just got a GoW psp for 110 new and modded it a few minutes later. It works
well I don’t have to worry about this I had the same Phat PSP eversince PSP was first released in the US and I have one of the old Slims I guess imma join the laughing gas circle as well
MUWAHAAAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I agree. They seem to always find ways around things. Well other than PS3’s but that is another story. I’m sure the crews will have a great time finding the flaws and exploiting them. :)
I’ll stick with my Slim and my glorious little pandora battery…
dam that suks ass……we ca always go here to download stuff for the psp games,movies etc http://guado69.sharezone.hop.clickbank.net/
wow i guess i was right about the gas leak……. no….. i see it coming! theres nowhere to run….. i have no choice…… i have to……. MUWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
from everything i have ever read i feel like i am the only one with the pandora program that lets me choose 1.5 firmware and 3.71 firmware.. loading the 3.71 firmware bypasses this problem correct??
yo u ppl tht have been ” muhahahah ” r faggots.
well thats suck but we here at psp hack belive in strong hacking and kool new pandora battery hacks annd mods for sonys great console the psp aka bast system ever
well ,hey hold on what that smell not agin dam green gas MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!.

How is babby formed?
how is babby formed
how girl get pragnent
They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?
it was on the news this mroing a mother in ar who had kill her three kids . they are taking the three babby back to new york too lady to rest my pary are with the father who lost his chrilden ; i am truley sorry for your lots
Lol, I am sure that DAX will find a way around this. I am on your side with this problem. I want the slim too. But I can wait.
i did downgraded my psp ta-088 with hard moded pandora battery. i cant pandorized my battery with the mobo that i have. i am using s-110 battery for slim and modified it. i put a switch inside the battery to switch to normal or to pandora battery. it works fine without having any problem.
>_> GUYS THERE ARE SOME TA-088 PSPS THAT CAN BE DOWNGRADED. THE ONES THAT CAN’T ARE THE NEW TA-088 PSPS WITH A NEW CPU THING
i used to take copied games for granted on the dreamcast,buying a new game for a fiver off the local dodgy seller but in the end the dc was killed by poor advertising,very poor copy protection and the fact it was sega that created it.
the psp is no different,dax has killed the psp make no mistake about it,he could have enabled homebrew without the iso loader and sony wouldnt have been half as pissed and wouldnt have made countless security updates,am i right or wrong ?
the psp IS dead,theres next to no new games getting released for it seeing as the same minute a game is released it is up on torrent sites the very next minute.
ask yourself,would you spend over a year creating a game for psp,at a high cost to your business only to have the game directly copied and on the internet the same day for free ???????? this is why theres are no games dedicated to the psp hardware,look at ff crisis core.
Yet again, the same goes for every other game system.
this might breathe a bit of life back into the psp hacking community. i remember when firmware was in the 2 region, i loved checking psp hacks to see if anything was posted about downgraders. for the past while, nothing major has been goin on, except custom firmwares.(not that im belittleing the work that goes into them), i just miss checking psp hacks and finding a big fuck you to song in the form of a new firmware being downgradeable. finding a way to run homebrew on this mobo will be an interesting thing to watch.
Yes! i remember that, i waited foreeeeevr for a 2.80 downgrade! XD i have a phat psp so imma not worry about this.
(Muwahaha?)
haha good man! i have a phat too, but i still love hearing about the new hacks that do be made! i rememeber the orange screen tiff exploit, and needing gta to downgrade! i remember laughing hard at how many times sony got screwed over, and their protection rendered completely useless!lol
the good old days xD
lol
i found this out like a month ago
my friends friend wanted his new slim hacked
i tried and nothing could hack it :(
o well
at least people know now
Haha
Since when was every shmuck with a PSP finding security flaws DMAddict?
I dont know why you people all say pirating killed the psp. Pirates dont kill game systems, the ps2 did awsome, and loading pirated copies is easier than Paris Hilton (sexual reference. lol). Hell, theres even an thing you can buy that lets you rip ps2 games to its HDD and play them without the dvd. Remember the old PSone swap trick? swapping a legit cd with a burnt one right after the ps logo. The reason that the PSP is dying is that its obsolete, its old, the iPhone has more balls than the psp. the iPhone does good becos Apple released a dev kit for it, and let independant developers make their own apps. Sony is killing the psp not Dax…
Dax did not create priateing, its not dying because its old. Sony is killing it by blocking out attempts to hack them
Its been confirm that it is a fake. Don’t worry guys, it was made from a 3rd party company to make fake PSPs like the popstation.
nope
like i said before, its real
couldnt do it with my friends psp slim that he had just bought that day
pandora didnt work
and i know that my pandora works cuz i have hacked at least 100 diffrent PSPs with it
his was the only one that wouldnt work
so will i be able to get the new limted blue psp slim and still be able to ust the pandora on it so it can be a modded psp
if its the new kind with the new cpu, (witch i think it is) then NO you can’t =/
If there will be no pandora or no FW hacks, I want to remain UP mod-chip.I think it could be still useable on any PSP.
My worry is “if” we cannot crack this new psp/board will the homebrew community die?
I wouldn’t take losing all this very well, lol. PSPHacks 4 ever
hey whats the big deal?u can still hack ur slim PSP if u hard mod ur battery…luckily for me one of my friends had already done that with his so i didnt have to open mine…And i got my SLIM PSP hacked!!!!!!!!!!!
You sure? Thats how I have all ways done friends. Havent come across a new board yet.
How can i see if my slim psp have the new TA-088 motherboard?
Thanks
i just got a used u.s. black slim psp that is unmoddable. lucky for me i can switch it out with another motherboard
guys how do you check if you got a ta-088 mobo?
I think the one that has 4.01 firmware because i try a lot of psp with that version and the pandora are not working, also i try eboot games that to does not work also
