New PSP Motherboard Blocks Pandora Creation

by Mike Bendel on January 30, 2008 @ 4:31 pm

Alek sends word that an updated motherboard, TA-085 v2, has been found in newly manufactured PSP Slim units. If you happen to have this motherboard revision, it is not possible to convert a battery to Pandora as EEPROM writing NIDs have been removed from syscon.

It’s important to note however, that using an already converted Pandora battery on a TA-085 v2 PSP will work fine.

Sounds stupid but, is it possible to "add" those NIDs back in when we're installing custom firmware. (The custom firmware installer includes maybe reversed engineered NIDs and installs into the system)

It's not an NID change, it's a hardware change.

so what your saying is.... that this mobo cant make a pandora battery... but if you already have a battery, you can put cfw on it?

If you already have a pandora and a properly formatted stick then yes.
