Dunnes selling PSP's for €179

blocparty

anyone else heard of this? i got a text from a friend who spotted them in cork. he knew i was looking to get one so thats why he text.

i hope they still have them and that the firmware is less than 2.6 which i imagine it is.

i think its a standard pack but fingers crossed that its a giga pack but its not all bad if its not

If its the giga pack, its a bloody bargain! Doubt it though.

I think theres a 2.6 downgrader available now anyway...

i think i seen an advert for this in the irish independent or the star or some low key rag like that

it was actually €149 got it last night. its running 2.6 firmware which is pretty cool so i can use the downgrader

it was the base package so i have to get all the accessories but ebay its pretty impressive for that!

The downgrader doesent work with a factory 2.5 or 2.6 psp . In order for it to work , you must have upgraded from 2.01 (or lower) to 2.5 or 2.6.

ya can you please tell me if you can or can not downgrade a factory 2.6? ive been told you can by 6 people and that you cant by 3! and that the only thing that stands in the way of downgrading a 2.6 is the mother board. and i dont have a ta82 i have a ta81

The place where i downloaded the downgrader said that factory 2.5 and 2.6 can not be downgraded . Although i have heard of a very few people who have got theres downgraded.I wouldnt risk it as it says it can brick your psp , but its up to you. :rolleyes:

blocparty

ya i downgraded to 1.5 and its the best thing ever! you CAN downgrade factory 2.5 and 2.6 which is what i did! it was really easy to do actually thought it would be harder

I downgraded my 2.6 OK, which I think was a 2.5 when I bought it. It does not say anything on it though where the TAxx number is supposed to appear.

blocparty

did you not see the picture thats show you how to know if you have a TA 082 or not?

vasch_ro

blocparty

why is that ?

The new motherboards have any of the older firmwares blacklisted so they can't boot on them. Not sure if its all new PSP's or just some that have it though.

blocparty

i downgraded my factory 2.6 with no problems what so ever. just check to see which motherboard you have. if you wanna know how pm me

Is it only a TA-082 if its on the top right corner of the pcb. There is none on mine but i can see some letters/numbers printed on the left just under some metal.
