News from Alek of Dark Alex fame:
You might have seen on some french webpages some 88v3 hacking video, showing how a 2k model with an alleged 88v3 mobo ("confirmed" with pspident and DC7) is cfw'd. Keep on reading.
Well, let's take a look at DC7 source;
char *mobos[] +
{
"TA-79 v1", "TA-79 v2", "TA-79 v3", "TA-81", "TA-82", "TA-85", "TA-85 v2", "TA-86", "TA-88", "TA-88+", "O_O'"
};
Now let's see pspident source;
char *mobomodels[] = {
"TA-079 v1", "TA-079 v2", "TA-079 v3", "TA-081", "TA-082", "TA-086", "TA-085", "TA-085 v2", "TA-088", "Devkit", "Unknown" }
(thanks jas0nuk)
So, from this couple things and from the video we take 2 conclusions:
1. DC and pspident were hex edited (or source edited if it's DC, as it's Open Source). If it was indeed a TA-088v3, it would have shown TA-88+, O_O, or Unknown within pspident.
2. That pack' mobo is probably an TA-088v1. (Check here, thanks sandungas)
So please, before making any of these statements, be awared of what's under all those tools. So, until no proof is shown against this argument, i would suggest to NOT believe on this video.
