Developer ErikPshat just posted an impressive video showcasing the ta88v3 unbricker running. He surely trusts his work, as the video shows him intentionally bricking a ta88v3 (by removing the battery in the middle of an Official Firmware update), and bringing it back from the dead with a Magic memory stick.
Again, the legality of this tool is extremely controversial (much more than the Pandora Battery, if you ask), so please do not share any links here. I’m sure those of you who have a bricked ta88v3 will find their way to this tool one way or another, anyways.
Seriously, bricking your own console to make a point…that’s what I call being brave, ErikPshat
