Non-Pandorizable Slim?

From psp-hacks.com:

Non-pandorizable PSP TA-088 Motherboards
greg | July 24, 2008

It’s sad, but true… (Newer?) Slim models utilizing the TA-088 motherboard render Despertar del Cementerio (DC), Pandora, and Time Machine useless — for the time being…

Custom/unsigned IPLs fail to load from the memory stick; that’s likely a result of the kernel 1.50 & 3.40 mix. With that said, we won’t see a new version of DC — Dark_AleX’s universal unbricker — until the revamped core and interface is finished. So in the meantime, be careful.

What do you guys think? Is cfw reaching the end of the road?

Hackers will find another way!

The IPL needs to be signed by Sony now..

Oh dang, how do I know which motherboard my psp has?

(Bought March 7th 08, in Australia)

If i can't pandora i'm not going to be happy x.x I've already created my MMS and have a battery ordered to mod..

Hopefully we find a way around this, or just b**ch at sony untill they let us do what we want with Homebrew.

Are the new colored japan psps affected by this? I was considering getting a mint green one, but after reading this, am considering holding off on it.

you could always go buy an older one and get new face and back plates of the colour of your choice

i really dont know if this is true..... i bought my new psp 2000 literally 4 and a half hours ago and everything works. i have 3.71 m33 and working to upgrade and put the 1.5 kernel on there. the only problem i'm having with it is that the CSO's wont work for some reason.

Does anyone know which PSP in particular this affects? The God of War edition? The Madden edition? I've been consdering getting the black slim.

Did you enable the M33 Driver in the Recovery Menu?

thats what i'm trying to do.... and i made a mistake..... i didnt mean to say add a 1.5 kernal cause i have the slim... i just need the e-loader. heres the link to it. i just cant find where to activate the m33 driver to update it.
