My question is how can you crack the new TA-80 motherboards when Sony is putting Firmware 3.02 in the new PSP's? Thankfully, a friend works at a game store and will see if he can give me a lower firmware PSP for my higher one. BTW, correct me if I'm wrong but, is 2.71 the highest firmware you can go if you wish to downgrade? I want to install the Dark Alex 3.03OE A firmware. Do I need to downgrade from 2.71 to 1.50 or can I install the Dark Alex firmware from my standard 2.71 firmware? I want to make sure before I go tomorrow.
