as long as the letter on the box just below the V for the voltage i.e.
240v
K

reads A-K you will get a version which is downgradable

if you recieve an L+ psp then its a confirmed 2.81 and you cant use anything
you may want a pre-used psp to try and get better chances of getting a 2.80 or lower.

Yes, A-K should be just fine.

Heh, it's kinda nice not having to worry about the motherboard anymore.

Yeah, lol. But yes, A-K will do fine, but if there's no letter, it's fine too.

A used one will probably be cheaper too. If it's free (or closer to it) it's for me

__________________

not much chance of that though

p.s. if below the letter it read WS### it should be a TA-081 or lower
and if it reads SS### it should be a TA-082\86
but as stated above the TA number is unimportant as theres now a TA082\6 fixer to convert it into a TA081 or lower style

__________________

Not convert, as such. What it does is basically make the PSP think it's a non-TA-082, by changing some stuff in the idstorage.

Well, he's somewhat correct. And the PSP doesn't 'think' anything.
A TA-082 has some data put in different places so that the 1.50 kernel loads the wrong things and hence the boot fails completely.

The IdStorage changer in the TA-082 downgrader re-arranges them into such a formation as the 1.50 kernel can recognise them and boot successfully.
The PSP doesn't think it's a TA-082, there's no true/false key in the IdStorage or anything, just everything's muddled up!
