Download it here, from Dark_AleX's site!Harshboy wrote:Google searching is worthless, it wont find the firmware hack. So where can i download it? I already have the update eboots. Thanks
The free_porn_sites.html is a joke to get people to read the readmes!
Make sure you don't don't have a TA-082 PSP or you WILL brick!
Wow, you put the solder and the iron on opposite sides of the board? (I just watched episode 1)
These are some nice videos! I need to watch the rest of them, and maybe I'll magically start to not destroy everything I touch with a soldering iron!
Though I think I'll stay with my custom 1.5 firmware instead of updating to the 2.71 SE-A. I'm not sure what X-flash would do to that... and I love my custom font and gameboot far too much to give that up.

Xflash boots you out if you run it on 2.71 SE-A. PSPSet works for gameboots and fonts though.Ari wrote:Though I think I'll stay with my custom 1.5 firmware instead of updating to the 2.71 SE-A.

PSPSet? I'll have to look into that, then.
I'll probably flash the new firmware tomorrow night. My batterie's kinda low right now.
Thanks for that info!
EDIT: I flashed 2.71 SE-A and then used PSPset to remove the gameboot (I was disappointed not seeing any font flashing options) and I just about bricked. I used the recovery mode and installed 2.71. Then I downgraded back to 1.5 and I'm reflashing HarleyG's custom firmware right now. I think I'll stick with it and Xflash for now. Maybe I'll update when SE-B comes out. But not right now. I'm not liking it too much.

2.71 SE-B out. I got a early release to it last night to make a video, it's on Youtube, 17k views, 9 honors .

RE soldering 101
Pretty good information, I would've spoken a little on tinning and cleaning the iron. I like to keep a damp sponge handy for cleaning. Tinning is when you are ready to solder, you melt a little solder, then wipe it off on the sponge, the result is a fresh thin coat of solder on your tip, which helps the solder flow smoother and faster.
RE Segment size
Bigger is better! I had to 2X just to see!

well I had a thread with a tip in it, but some mod locked ity so here it is:
If you want to solder perfectly,
check out my secret:
1-buy some 0.032 solder from radioshack that comes in a tube.
2- coil a 1' long strand or more around your index finger.
3- stretch out 3 inches of straight solder from the coil and touch the connection.
4- place iron on solder for less than a second and melt it over connection.
5-presto, you have the perfect connection!
this works everytime for me, just point to the spot you want solder on!
i'll post pics later, but my camera broke
