Still no hope: Despertar del Cementerio v7 and PSP-3000 not compatible
A couple of stores in Spain already had the PSP-3000 units available over the weekend, apparently. Now, with the new PSP model in the hands of consumers, the race to crack its inner workings has already started. What do we know about it so far? Time for an unboxing in the full article!
Over the weekend, Spain was lucky enough to finally get their hands on the PSP-3000 (just so you know, the actual model number for Spain’s PSP Brite is actually PSP-3004; hence the tag on the lower right corner of the box).
A couple of stores already had the PSP-3000 units available, apparently, and with the new PSP model in the hands of consumers, the race to crack its inner workings has already started.
As posted in Sceners.org, here are some of the things that have already been discovered:
- Firmware it comes with: 4.20
- Boxcode: 4.20ofw, as it happened with 3.60ofw on slim, no letter.
- DC7 works? -> NO
- TA-088v3 identifier says what? -> Most probably same CPU.
“DC-7” (that’s Desparatar del Cementerio v7 to you, bub!) being incompatible with PSP-3000 isn’t all that a surprise. After all, Dark AleX already sent word out explaining why they couldn’t hack into the TA-088 v3 motherboards yet.
Meanwhile, today, DAX webmaster Alek reaffirmed that DC v7 isn’t compatible as he’s replied the following in the Sceners.org posting:
yup, confirmed.
DC7 does NOT work. Probably 3000 has the same CPU as 88v3.

Oh and any of you guys noticed the box? It still says “Slim & Lite”. I guess Sony won’t be adopting a new moniker for the 3000s. Aww, and I was seriously gunning for Slim & Brite!
