Circulating the net are some photos of what looks to be a new PSP motherboard from a PSP-3000. While its marked as a TA-090 is not known what version it maybe. Looks to be a TA-090v3. TA-090v1 is in current models. If its hackable or not is also unknown.
They just to run PSPident on this [...]

Davee has posted that he will not be implementing CSO or ISO support on his up-in coming HEN / Homebrew enabler for PSP-3000’s and Ta88v3 motherboards. Why? Mainly because davee has not been able to get M33’s permission to use their modules to would enable iso & cso support. Also because of davee’s stance on [...]

Things are indeed heating up on the homebrew scene. Looks like homebrew is coming to that PSP-3000 of yours. Davee has reported he has a working Kernel exploit on the way for the PSP-3000 / Ta88v3 Motherboards that will enable homebrew. Rather than rephrase what davee has posted, I’ll just quote it
HEN will [...]

True to his word MaTiAz has released Version 2 of his Hello World TIFF Exploit. This version works on PSP Slim units and we have reports from users that it even works on the PSP-3000! That’s a added bonus. As for the “bit of awesomeness” promised we have to wait just a little longer for [...]

The day many PSP owners have been waiting for is coming, as PSP homebrew developer MaTiAz has released a TIFF-based exploit in the form of a “Hello World,” proof of concept for PSP Firmware 5.03. So the idea of running homebrew on TA88v3 / PSP-3000 is rapidly approaching! (This is no late April fools joke)

*Update* [...]

As weird as it sounds, even Hannah Montanna has her own PSP pack coming out. It comes with a Purple PSP, a Hannah Montanna game, a UMD of some episodes of the series, and a 2GB memory stick. So if you have a little sister, why not blow her mind and get this for her? [...]

MaTiaZ and Freeplay released another homebrew game for the PSP-3000. This time bringing us a nice side scrolling shoot-em up R-Type clone. This homebrew game requires a USA copy of Gripshift and a PSP-3000 with firmware 5.02 or less! (Not to mention some patience!)

Remember the video we posted about a working PSP-3000 hack using gripshift? The hack creator MaGiXien answered some questions on just why the Hen PSP-3000 Hack isn’t online yet. And when we are likely to see a PSP-3000 Hack. Here’s what MaGiXien from PSPGen.com had to say:
You all have in mind our video showing a [...]

One more step closer to homebrew on the PSP-3000. PSPGen are working on a Homebrew Enabler for the PSP-3000, enabling both user and kernel mode homebrew. While the site is in French, translation tells us that with the use of HEN-A homebrew enabler, kernel and user modes will be possible. You will of course need [...]

Datel have told Portable Video Gamer that Sony is taking legal action against their lite blue tool. The tool advertised to be able to hack the PSP-3000. This answer came just after Portable Video Gamer asked Datel why the Lite blue tool was removed and later the description changed.
Datel’s response:
Due to legal action by Sony [...]

dragula96 has made pong for the earlier GripShift exploit. Quoting dragula96: “it just feels wrong when a Hello World is not followed by Pong”
Have fun Gripshift / PSP-3000 owners

Team N00bz have joined forces with FreePlay and MaTiAz (The guys that brought us the Grip shift hack on the PSP-3000). Joining up with them they plan to further expand the exploit found and the way forward for homebrew games & Emulators on the PSP-3000 / TA-088v3.

Here’s what Team N00bz have said about this:
The exploit [...]

Finally some good news (and not fake) in regards to finding a working hack for the PSP-3000. A user-mode buffer overflow exploit was discovered by MaTiAz. He has found a vulnerability with-in the GripShift save game loading routine. What does this mean? This could be the stepping stone which will lead the way to full [...]

Some of you might have imagined all your Christmas’s came at once when you saw that some large PSP sites had posted a video that seemed to good to be true? Of a PSP-3000 / TA-088v3 being hacked on video. I thought I better break it too you since those sites have yet to do [...]

The new blue service battery by Datel has been tried on the PSP-3000. So it puts the PSP-3000 into service mode. But results in just a flashing light and dead black screen. So its not REALLY a hack by Datel to allow users to flash custom firmware if that’s what you were thinking. It still [...]

But not by Dark~AleX. Guess who?
Datel out of all people have “cracked” the PSP-3000 and booted it with a new TOOL battery.
Compatible with the PSP-2000 and 3000, it goes for $19.99 in the UK and $29.99 in North America late this month.
BUT! There’s a catch. This battery doesn’t actually install CFW on your PSP.
From [...]

This rather cool video has surfaced on youtube. A PSP-3000 being disassembled and re-assembled in time lapse fashion. Well worth a look. Still no break through on this model being hackable. Its still unhackable, just like the TA88 v3 motherboard.
