ichikawaii....DON'T UPDATE! You're good where you're at right now...I think...check your firmware. To do this go into the main menu of your PSP, go to settings>system settings>system information. What #.## does it say next to version?

firelogic...if you're getting the bundle pack that has atv included, your best bet is that it WON'T be a 2.82. Those are the old bundles that no one bought...thankfully no one did because those are (like I said above) to have a firmware under 2.00.

dahjoka. There's 2 ways you can go about 3.02. You can either you devhook .51.0100 or update using 3.02OE-B....I prefer sticking with devhook since it doesn't require any flashing..meaning...you don't have to risk your PSP in getting bricked...meaning..you don't want to risk your PSP becoming useless..meaning...it won't turn on anymore hahah...

Just use this

[Guest firelogic]

Thanks for the input awdark and shortboy!

Okay firelogic...new update....my uncle bought my cousins the entertainment pack with ATV....it has a 2.71 TA-082 PSP....that's no good.

But ichikawaii...you're in the good ...Update your PSP to 2.00 and then downgrade it back down to 1.50.

[Guest wysiwyg]

Well, Futureshop has the core PSP on sale for $180 and is including a Body Glove PSP Case for free. On top of that, Best Buy is selling 2GB SanDisk Pro Duo memory sticks for $50. So add in a USB cable and it's still cheaper and better than the Entertainment Pack. So the question is...am I almost guaranteed to get an old version PSP with the Entertainment Pack that I can run custom firmware on, or should I just buy the Core and Stick at the sale price?

**All Prices Canadian.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Guest ichikawaii]

[Guest Dah_jOkA]

ey awdark and shortboy

thanks for the help!

But I flashed my 1.5 to fw 3.02 OE-B

I'm not afraid to flash my PSP, I do it countless times with other mods.

ahh dang I'm so behind, I used to be so up to date with new applications n hacks for the PSP but recently I loss interest in my PSP.

BUT NOW IM BACK! N READY TO ROLL!

TIME TO RIP MY PSX GAMES! MWAHAHHAA!

[shortboy]

You're making me want to update to OE-B now...as well as a couple other people from other forums....the thought of reviving my PSX games on the PSP sounds exciting . I'm just afraid of bricking o-o.

[Guest carol]

Weird question, I know, but can you get the PSP engraved? And if you do (even if it's at some engraving store), where do you think it'd look nicest on? I was thinking the top side edge. Or would you guys completely recommend not to?

[Guest Dah_jOkA]

i dont no bout gettin the PSP engraved but I know that some people customized their UMD doors, change their faceplates and add lights n stuff to them.

heres a PSP with the LED Trigger MOD:

^im tryin to add lights to mine, at the moment I just have a chrome faceplate and a blue button set. I'm trying to work on changin my UMD door

[Guest buuberry]

oh wow! its sooo bright! good for playing in the dark! i usually snuggle under the blanket and play.

i think its too flashy for travelling purposes. haha everyone would be staring! but its cool nonetheless!

hrmm, engrave? wat abt the inner side of the batt cover? parallel to the edge. :blush:

[shortboy]

OH!....take back what I said about not getting that entertainment pack you guys....GO GET IT!

http://pspupdates.qj.net/2-71-TA-082-Firmw...pg/49/aid/77460

Main point. If you have a TA-082 PSP, it must be at 2.71. How do you know if it's a TA-082?

thanks shortboy for the update! i think i will pick one up today. i hope they still have them in stock.

For TA-082 users on 2.71, you dont have to attempt the above downgrade and risk a brick if your only goal is to run games from flash. HenD and a appropriate version of Devhook work perfectly fine to run 3.02 games (even a lot of homebrew run as well). The only downside is having to run HenD and Devhook when starting from a cold boot. However, I don't see how that is such a big deal considering you should be putting the PSP to sleep most of the time anyway since battery consumption is minimal in sleep. I think the last time I had to run them was like 3 weeks ago. By the way I have a TA-082/2.71. I personally wouldn't risk the brick unless it came to a point where there was no other choice.

Um, you know what ebay is? Yeah, you should start there to look at prices, or amazon.com. PSP's can range from $170-$200 or more. Do some research before you go out and just buy one too. >.<;;;

[shortboy]

Well if you're familiar with the downgrading scene or know a friend that is, I'm pretty sure the risk goes down. Believe me, my heart was beating when I downgraded my brother's 2.80 PSP when that one came out. You do still run the risk of bricking your TA-082 when downgrading but the downgrading comes with a piece of homebrew called 'idstoragechange' which basically makes your PSP TA-082 no longer a TA-082 but at TA-079 (launch PSPs). But if you're comfortable already with staying at 2.71, then that's your choice. Still though, I would recommend downgrading and then upgrading to 3.02 OE-B and start playing some PS1 games on your PSP .

^ oh ho ho shortboy! looks like u finally past ur fears for flashing the PSP, haha good job man! *clap clap*
