Dark_Alex LEAVING PSP SCENE!!!!!

Bye, scene.





I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene. The reasons are various. One of them is the time it consumes, which I'm losing from other things. The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers. I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.

The last time we heard, DAX was skipping FW 3.50 and is working on FW 3.51. We looked around the Internet and various sites mentioned that the news was confirmed to them personally by Dark AleX himself. We don't know what really happened with him and Sony but DAX added that he is avoiding future legal issues with the company.

Dark AleX will surely be missed because of his great contributions to the homebrew community. With all the things he did, maybe the least thing we can do is send our messages of good faith to him. From QJ.NET, good luck DAX on whatever future endeavor you wish to pursue. Thank you for the time you spent with the PSP community.

Oh no! So, i guess we wont see any more custom firmwires from the great DAX.
But, now i'm sure other people are going to develop custom firmwires and see if they can take over DAX.

Hpefully! Well, this was gonna happen sometime. Imagine what would happen if no-one would do CFWs anymore. Everybody would have to use OFWs. And some poeple couldn't, because TA-082s can't go back to OFWs over 3.11.

Well they helped a bit I think, and there was this other guy also who made his own custom firmwares, but he was in 1.52 SE-C the last time I checked, so...

Anyone thinking the same as me? That Sony might have known who DAX was and threatened him a bit with lawsuits?

Anyways, this is not very nice, since this might mean the start-of-the-ending of PSP homebrew development.

Re: Dark_Alex LEAVING PSP SCENE!!!!!

Yeah, a guy called becus25 has also made some custom firmwires called Increasing Edition (IE). It includes an extra recovery menu i think, but it is still lacking features from Dark_Alex's firmwires. Also, today Pspupdates annonced an upcoming custom firmwire called "Puzzle Bobble Custom Firmwire" by the well known psp developer FreePlay. Lol, it has the game "Puzzle Bobble Pocket" saved on psp's flash0! Also has modified XMB and can still run Kxploited homebrew.

But, i mean. First the great Booster who made DevHook leaved the scene. And Fanjita is nearly working, and now DAX! Many good developers have leaved, but we still have the Noobz team. If just Dark_Alex would give out the source code of his custom firmwires to Noobz... They have enough knowledge to continue developing the custom firmwires. But i doubt he'll do it.

I thought that the source code was icluded in every OE update in the folder SRC. And also, Fanjita is the leader of Team Noobz.

I really got to admit it. PSP Homebrew community is dying. Slowly and painfully.
I bet that people are celebrating at Sony.

Re: Dark_Alex LEAVING PSP SCENE!!!!!

And if no one is developing custom firmwire, we wont be able to play the new umd games. So then we must uprade to official firmwire! I dosen't hope that will happen! I got to say that Sony is really leading now. And, no the source code is not included because that would have been giving out source code from the official firmwire!

Oh yeah sorry. That was included only in the downgraders. And you can use the application for 1.5 to change the firmware to 7.5. Well not really, nothing will change, it just alters the number.

And there will probably come some else people making CFWs. They just didn't wanna compete with DAX, but now when he's gone... And don't worry guys, we won't get left alone in the homebrew community, there are over 100000 downgraded PSPs, you think people are gonna go back to official FWs just like that?

Hmm... This reminds me... If this is why Sony made the "haw haw you can't go back to official if you have downgraded TA-082" thingy. That they knew DAX would retire, and maybe in FW 4.0 there will be something huge, making every one want to upgrade...

I'm not too sure if I want to downgrade my 082 so soon.

big_smile But the problem now is, that if I downgrade, I can't upgrade.

Dark_Alex's leaving is gonna have a huge impact on the PSP Scene. Most will not like it, but Sony is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy right now I bet!

Hopefully, but what makes Dark_alex want to stop right now? I mean, he said that he doesn't wanna get sued by Sony, but he has done so much already without the fear getting sued. I mean why NOW?

Re: Dark_Alex LEAVING PSP SCENE!!!!!

PSP homebrew is not dying!

i read this on emulation news:

even though sony has threatened psp and ps3 hackers.
many hackers will continue providing cusome firmware.

like that bubble iE O from becus.

there is still hope!

Re: Dark_Alex LEAVING PSP SCENE!!!!!

Actually... Dark-Alex's website has been HACKED 90% sure. This is too sudden. First DAX says that he's working on 3.51 OE-A which would have the ISO loader. Then the next day, he's quitting! I bet his website has been hacked, or he's working for Sony now, or he's been threatened by Sony or Sony has paid him to stop or someone from Sony has came to his house and threatened him with a gun to write that. Like I said, why would someone say "I'm making 3.51 OE-A" and the next day: "I'm leaving, bye" without even telling further what will happen to the next OEs? Of course if he was really leavin' he would've broasted about it, thanked Noobz, MPH, C+D, and every other coder/hacker out there. He's been working that long and suddenly he just gives up to Sony and says "bye" and leaves. Oh come on! But with Booster leaving too... Also Fanjitas not working too much anymore... Hmm... I smell a bit conspiracy in the Sony side. Right when we're getting closer and closer to the FW 4.0 time... There is something big coming in 4.0, beware!

oh sorry I DIDhack his site, no-one paid me but I just did it for fun.

IF someone hacked it, it was definitely a hacker who got paid by Sony for doing it.
