Could it be? TA 088v3 got hacked?

Of the existing PSPs, only two remain CFW-resistant: the new PSP-3000, of course; and the PSP Slim with the TA88v3 motherboard. There’s brewing news at PSPGen.com right now about the possibility that the TA88v3 has indeed been hacked. Is this for real? Read up on the details and the controversial video in the full article.

Thanks big time, DB, for the heads up!

Talk about a holiday rush! We’ve gotten word that the TA88v3 motherboard has finally been hacked. A video has already been posted on YouTube, which shows how M33-2 was successfully installed into a PSP Slim. This video was filmed by Despertador21 of the PSPGen forums, it’d be better if you watch it first.

At 3:28, he shows us clearly that the PSP Slim he was using was running on TA88v3. I could hardly believe my eyes at 5:20, the screen flashes this message, “OK! Your PSP is hacked, Thank your for usage.” With grammar aside, the message did indicate that the PSP was indeed hacked. He then makes use of another memory stick, then shows the camera that the PSP runs on M33-2.

It’s a bit hard to tell from the vid alone, especially when we consider that the files haven’t leaked just yet. PSPGen is currently in contact with Despertador21, who thankfully is open to dialogue. As far as the video goes, it seems pretty legit. Hold on to your seats, ’cause we might be getting a very welcome belated Christmas gift.

We’ll keep you posted on further developments and the authenticity of this hack.

Thanks big time, DB, for the heads up!
