My shop sells PSP version 2.50s. Not sure about the motherboard (TA-082, etc). So am wondering if anyone has successfully downgraded a TA-082 2.71 PSP before? I found 3 different PSP community websites with TA-082 downgraders:

1. psp-hacks.com
2. psp-homebrew.eu
3. qj.net

All TA-082 downgraders are different in files and sizes. So am wondering which one works and whether you have tried it before.

Cheers

qj and psp hacks seem reliable to me id choose qj they are usually best
good luck

id use qj.net, just be careful and read all of the instructions before you downgrade to help prevent a brick.

Really worried. The shops I've been to only have TA-082 2.5 versions.

Worst case scenario. Lets say my PSP did brick (unbootable). I can't use that modchip since it doesn't work with TA-082. What else can help?
Doubleposted Message Below:
2.71 downgrade seems lots of trouble since the 2.71 downgraders are all based off Dark_Alex's initial TA-079 working model. I downloaded so many different 2.71 patches and all of them are very different (when comparing files/sizes).

To be safe I think I'll upgrade to 2.80 and use Noobz 2.80 Improved Downgrader since all 4 sites (psp-hacks.com, psp-homebrew.eu, qj.net & noobz.eu) all have 1 2.80 download file and they're all practically the same (Noobz version).

Anyone tried the Noobz 2.80 downgrader from N00bz! and did it work with TA-082, and also able to connect to PS2/3 and use PopStation (PSX)?

go to qj click "files" and search for downgrader and select "2.71 (TA-082 and TA-086) Downgrader - Corruption-free" tried and tested.

Yup! Make sure you get the corruption free version by ChillyWilly - only modifies one key so you wont suffer any issues like brightness and usb problems.
