Dark_Alex Working on TA-088 Solution

Friday, July 25th, 2008

The new Motherboard/CPU issue has been examined, and DA is working on it!  The problem seems to base from not just the new motherboards, but the new CPU’s being installed.  Some TA-088s can be flashed, so it’s kind of a gamble at this point.  Dark_Alex has stated that the problem has to do with the core of Despretar Cementario runs off of 1.50/3.40, something that evidently the new CPU’s can’t handle.  A new version of Despretar Cementario will not be realeased until they have remade the Core.

More on this issue and the quote from Alek himself will be found after the read more tag

Alek says:

As you might have already seen, there are some mobos (TA-088 ones, slim models) in where the IPL used for Despertar del Cementerio, Pandora and Time Machine therefore, doesn’t work.

IPL can be still run from the Memory Stick, but just those that are signed by Sony, and not the ones that contain a different signature; a problem that will probably block the actual way of running your cfw’s, as you couldn’t even load on this NANDs the custom IPLs with different signature.

Even though, IPL is not the problem, but probably the mixed kernel of 1.50&&3.40, and it will be the best option to use a new kernel on Despertar del Cementerio future versions.

So, to sum up, new Dc version will not be released till the new Core and interface is finished. Please be patient :)

So there you have it folks, the new DC will be created, but not until they do some serious changes to it.

    Have you heard the word..CUSTOMER SATISFACTION? In the first place why did they made a thing that cant be used by all?what i mean is some can play cso/iso games and some cannot. Thats why i’ve been trying to hack this shit,its because i felt that i am cheated.

    And bro why do you care to be here in this forum anyway? Hmmmmm…

    Hey mr.know it all, go fuck urself somewhere else and write a book about yourself with your dumb ideas.

  • Seller

    These PSPs with the new mobo are not selling very well. Profit margin is very low. People kept on returning them once they know it cannot be hacked. Putting limitation on these new PSPs is suicidal on their sales margin, especially in this dire economy.
    Sony needs to leak out the IPL encyription or whatever they put preventing it from being hacked. I guess they don’t care if their sales profit is dropping. It’s heading for a cliff.

  • lessmaster

    Too bad for me. I bought my PSP too late. i have a MoBo Ta-088 v3 and THAT SUCKS!!! If I one day can hack my psp I will be very happy.

  • Mike

    I have the TA-088v3 as well. I’ve been waiting for so long to get this hack. Man, if i hadn’t waited to get a psp, I probably would have had one of the TA-088v2 or 1.

  • bortz!

    any updates?? man i hate having the 088v3 mobo i only have 1 umd T5DR (well atleast i’m enjoying it).. damn i need rpg’s on my psp T.T umd’s are wayyyy too expensive damn sony.

  • Delanta’

    hello Dark Alex and i’m new to the psp thing but i just now found out the reason why i can’t install custom firmware on my psp and how the pandora battery won’t work but i hope soon i can get it hacked.

  • Mickey

    Good luck to all players who r waiting for cracking 4.01 version. Best wishes to DA and we r counting on u~~~

  • DAX

    It looks like the coffin door on the psp 4.01 hack is pretty much nailed down. Get ready to bury your psp that has new mobo. It is useless. There will be no hack. If there were a hack I would have given you folks a progress update long time ago. I don’t want you folks to wait on false hope.
    You can thank me and praise me but it is not going to help. Let’s move on with our lives.

  • DAX

    I can pretend to be Alex too…

  • Delanta’

    plz fix unhackable motherboard issue

  • psphater

    recently i thought to buy psp but after knowing it cant be hacked i bought xbox 360(modded).i m sure sony psp sales will go down and sony will fuck its idea of ipl encryption or what so ever.
    DA u can do it,u r our only hope.

  • psphater2

    WTF is wrong with Sony? Why put IPL encryption crap on their PSPs when we are in a rececession. No one will buy it once they know it cannot be hacked. There is no incentive to buying this hardware.
    I hope the PSP will die from low sales margin.

    I GOT A MADDEN PSP-2001. WITH MOTHER BOARD TA-088. I HACKED IT IN A EASY WAY. JUS BUY A PANDORA BATTERY OR USE YOUR FRIENDS PSP TO MAKE YOUR BATTERY, PANDORIZED THEN YOU CAN USE A SPARE BATTERY AS A NORM BATTERY AND THE OTHER ONE FOR PANDORA. GOOD LUCH GUYS!

  • someone

    i don’t think using the custom firmware thing is not a good idea for madden edition because madden edition psp system can’t take the high standard graphic games such as god of war.
    i played the god of war demo yesterday. well it kind of freeze when you in the big field or when you climb the ladder thing. one time almost bricked. i think psp can’t take the graphic and all kind of stuff. if you will using the custom firmware stuff, i guarantee it will brick easily.
    this is just my opinion.

  • joe joe

    hmmmmm…..I really hope they hack this soon.

  • irwan

    Is DAX really dead? Where the Fock is the progress update?

  • DAX

    Deer friend,

    I am the real DAX. There is no hack for new psp 4.01 systems. Do not wait for me.
    If there were one I would have let you know long time ago. Don’t waste your money on these systems. Times are getting tough out there in this recession.

    Peace.

  • Delanta’

    the motherboards will never be hacked stopped wating for Dark Alex and just trade in ur psp or get a new one like i did

  • FewY

    Hi Dark alex… Hope you will be able to make it.. the psp 3000 community is patiently waiting for your very noble work.. We believe in your capabilities… Hope you will have it hacked sooner… Have pity on us… :)

  • Delenta

    You guys can praise him all you want, and there will never be a hacked for the new mobo.
    Stop waiting. I m not trying to crush your dream but to bring reality to light.
    Wake up guys.

  • Mr. unknown

    O,he’s gonna do it! I’m sure – there’s no such thing as an unhackable PSP

  • Delenta

    Like Old_Man said, by the time there is a hack his balls would sag down to his knees.
    I am sure there will be hack but there is no visibility in sight at the point in time.

  • kugmo

    avoid buying PSP2000-2006 model this is a real deal (TA088- v3) OFW 4.01 ouch

  • maukenbry

    it’s april now a days and still there’s no news of cracking the psp mobo ta-o88. what do you think? is DA already given on this or is he still cooking up on this

  • Defeat

    DAX has been defeated, and so have all of you, forget the hack to the new motherboard, and the PSP-3000, Sony has solidified its protection, and it is ROCK SOLID! Try all you want, but it will never be defeated, like you guys have been!

    NEVER underestimate the power of SONY!

    Tuff luck Kiddies!

  • DragonRiderWolfe

    Defeat<—– Oh really now? What about this new PSP OFW 5.03 TIFF Kernal Hack that MaTiAz made? I just downloaded it today and even though its helloworld only, it means that all 5.03 psps can be hacked without problems in the near future. And one more thing, if Dark Alex had quit the hacking attempts to slimline 2000 & briteline 3000 versions, he would have posted it officially on his website only, not here or any other site. Think guys, think ok? btw defeat, impersonate Dark Alex again and you may find yourself on the short end of a lawsuit. Just a bit of advice ya?

  • Defeat

    DragonRiderWolfe are you for real?

    When did I impersonate?

    Enjoy your helloworld, and while your at it, get a grip! Lets see, try “helloDragonRiderWolfe”

    Get the lawsuit rolling, your barking up the wrong tree there, plenty of DAX impersonators have already posted here, try giving them your “hot air” blowhard! I did not impersonate, and if you want to threaten with lawsuit, keep trying to hack copyrights and protected systems, and see how fast SONY puts the bullseye on YOU!

    Freaking Genius!

    Go ride a Dragon already Wolfy!

    Regards!

  • Defeat

    And BTW, the real DAX may have spoken in those earlier posts, it wasn’t me impersonating him, but its quite easy to do just the same…

    All’s I see at Dark Alex’s site is crickets chirping tho, heheh

    And if ALL 5.03 PSP’s can be hacked in the future, why aren;t they ALL hacked now? DREAM ON Fantasy boy!

    Question: Do you use a saddle when you “ride” a Dragon, or a condom? LOL!

  • ginnz

    I have a 2001 slim, with MB TA-088, it had 3.90 as the original firmware, this info im looking at in PSP Tool V0.90….. so its running CFW fine.

    i have 5.00 M33-6 on it as of now.

    did i just get lucky in that i got one that is mod-able? it funny, cause i bought it off a kid last weekend who said it DID NOT work at all. he said his mom spilled coffee on it and fried it. so i gave him 20 bucks for it.

    i get it home, plug the charger in, turn it on and BAM, it boots! 100%, i get one of my sons umd’s and put it in and BAM, works, again 100%……

    two hours later i had a CFW PSP 2001….. id always wanted to do my sons, but didnt want to screw it up, this 20$ find opened a whole new dimension to PSP’s for us!!!! best 20 bucks i spent since i was 21 yo and i got a BJ from that hoo…..er forget it….:-)

    anyways, i guess i just got lucky?

    • Delenta

      firmware 4.01 and up mobos are not hackable.

  • ginnz

    just updated the notify updates box… disregard….

  • Abc

    DA works for sony now

  • Delenta

    psp is dead. no hacks for it.

  • J Code

    Yeah i think so too. seems like SONY paid DA already that’s why he is not working on hacks anymore. So goodluck guys for waiting. Hope a new genius will come out and save the PSP world.

  • Wow!
  • http://N-A Jay-ar ervin

    Still im waiting for DA to hack that kind of MOBO. I dont want to buy nor swap with other PSP.

    He will do it for sure. :D

  • WORKING!

    GO HERE! http://pspslimhacks.com/

    There is a custom firmware loader, that works in conjunction with the chickhen-mod which enables all slim’s with the TA-88v3 boards to LOAD CFW! It does not install it, but loads it into memory. It is not for 3000′s it states yet, but I’m sure that may be soon as well…

    THIS IS CONFIRMED WORKING on my previously unhackable slim… I have installed and played my backups fine (ISO/CSO) I still haven’t figured out how to get pops working correctly for my PSX eboots though…
