Nah, you could use this when it comes out, but Pandora's Battery/Despertar del Cementerio will work better/be more reliable/reusable.

So, in essence, this will do nothing for me?

Yep, this HEN is mainly interesting for ta88v3 and psp3000 owners.

Other motherboards owners who might be interested in this are people who want to spare 15$ on an extra battery, and do not understand that in exchange they risk their 150$ psp.

Honestly, buying an extra battery and converting it into a pandora is the best thing that ever happened to my PSP. You can switch firmwares in a couple minutes, without the stress of bricking. If Pandora works on your PSP, you shouldn't even consider other options, seriously.

This exploit HEN will work for all PSP's. Simple as that.

You have a phat psp-1000, and don't want to go through the hassle of getting a pandora battery to downgrade? Use this. Using this is way more convenient.

Unfortunately not, no... it isn't readable... i believe the CFW exploit currently used to read the Pre-IPL was that if there was a certain type of error while loading the IPL it would just drop it and leave everything in memory... I'm not sure on this as it is a little above me...

But currently we (us mere mortals) cannot read the Pre-IPL.

I want to say sorry because I forgot to say THX .
At that time power was cut off and I went to bed then :(


and I still hope one day we can touch the pre-IPL even if it was only out of curiosity .
 
I Hope Matiaz and Davee get permission to improve their HEN by using M33 Modules, this could increase the range of available hombrew to users

Well, let's wait until a bunch of noobs semi-brick their PSP for some reason before we argue more on the "convenience" subject :)
 
i see well if i had a phat or slim without the unmoddable chip i wudnt even be on this thread. 15 bucks for a pandora or make ur own, much better

but for people who has phat or most of the slim... they can mess with flash0..... and so they can also flash CFW

The chance of bricking with the new custom firmwares is extremely small. The only sure fire way is to take out the battery when it's doing it's thing. The installers check the integrity of the files they use before doing the actual flashing, making it very safe.

We're talking about downgrading through the HEN here, which I believe will do some stuff to the flash.

How do you think we managed before pandora existed? Bricking a PSP is almost entirely user error. Like Adiuvo said, flashing a PSP to custom firmware is very safe, it essentially uses the official SCE updater. Once the user begins screwing with their flash0 intentionally though, then problems might arise.

Not contesting that, I downgraded my Ta82 with the GTA exploit almost 3 years ago, and I know that recent downgraders are more secure than what they were before.

That was pretty much my point. If you use your PSP for "underground" stuff, you'll end up needing a Pandora battery at some point. Might as well be sooner than later.

But hey, you're right, it's not like we see messages like "so, I was downgrading my PSP and my little brother entered the room and took the battery off. I don't have a pandora, what should I do?" every day... oh wait, we do, actually.
