You can't SERIOUSLY believe this crap? You can't turn a (and hex edited? come one, that's the worst crappy lie ever) hacked firmware into an eboot. You can load it with MPH....but this is just.....if you're gonna lie, lie believably or look like at idiot.Quote:
he performed some lame hex hacks on the psp firmware rco that even a kiddie could have done (such as removing the waves, changing the icon's name, the displayed version......)

I lost all my respect for sonyXteaM a long time ago. I feel they spend more time arguing and fighting publicly with other developers than doing anything of any worth. They need to handle themselves in a more dignified manner and for me, they are just as bad if not worse than those people who moan about bugs in code, because people actually listen to these people (ashamedly).
As for the whole legality issue, I'm not sure why people are getting on their high horse about this. Is everyone here super clean? No one downloads MP3s? Is the best homerew app on the PSP, snes_tyl 100% legal? Yes it is. But how many here have a few or more commercial roms for it? Still legal? Perhaps you should ask Nintendo about that. Just don't go quoting the bible if you're sleeping with the whores as well.
I don't really care if this guy charges for it. He isn't directly charging for the software so covers himself on that count, and the app doesn't do anything to make me want to buy it so if he wants more and more people to give him money he needs to make the app more and more useful. And when people have given him money then he is obligated to provide what he has promised, no excuses, or their money back. This should make the app better and better and if not then don't bother buying it. If the app did anything that I really needed then I would for sure pay 10 bucks for it. But not a promise that it will eventually do something useful.
A 100% no problems full speed snes emulator, now that I would give money for. A 2.0+ game loader perhaps as well. Anything else, well I highly doubt.
Hate to dig up old threads but i feel i should comment and clear a few issues over here that people may have had.
Firstly, the information posted by Sonyxteam was pretty much entirely false, in a reaction to a joking stab at them over something quite pointless, things like i came from ps2nfo.. well i joined there a long time ago and was banned on my first post because the modchip i was asking about wasnt one endorsed by them :), various other "facts" they posted were either entirely made up or wrong.
Anyway back on topic, first and foremost, the version we released isn't very functional, and has a problem when scanning for homebrew if hidden foldersnames are used, we will be updating the public build soon to support hidden foldernames, as well as removing the size limitation on mp3 now we have it stable, maybe even enabling the image viewer if we can resolve the bug with the preview resizing of large images.
Basically we charged $9.99 for pro member access, as a way to have a solid userbase of people who will actually give us worthwhile feedback on the program and its updates, suggest ideas to us that we could use with future updates and so on, the payment for pro membership access isn't to buy the pro version of the app, it's to be a part of the applications creation.
That said, you are given access to unstable/beta builds before new features are added to the public build, many people see this as "selling the beta for $9.99", however, it isn't, we learnt from the time developing it, that a large majority of the psp scene are disrespectful, and quite inconsiderate children, and we did not want to trawl through countless idiotic posts and emails, to get to actual bug reports or decent suggestions, and i am pleased to say that right now it's working wonderfully, we have had good communications with almost all pro members and been able to discuss and rethink many aspects of psix that has led to things being changed.
There has not actually been a new release for the pro members yet at this point as a large ammount of our time was devoted to resolving any legal issues and setting up the audio codec (which uses libmad, read on for more info), to be able to play any sized mp3 you can fit on your memory stick.
Initially we had issues such as Shazz contacting me reguarding the usage of FA++'s eboot loader, which thankfully since shazz is an understanding guy, we have worked out, there had always been an issue with using libmad in psix, which is why we opted to make psix module based, putting the audio codec in it's own module, and to comply with GPL, the sources and binaries of both the eboot loader and audio module, are available via email request on the site, and all releases that contain gpl code will be made with the appropriate GPL documentation.
Though currently not much more functionality has been added (mainly because we spent so much time focusing on mp3, not reserving 7+mb for mp3 and being ale to use only 512kb has improved functionality of alot of things), we have made other improvements with psix, and mapped out the plans for the comming months, made a relatively accurate mock for the pro users to see just how their ideas and our plans will pan out in future.

This is a mock of how things WILL look in the next few months, this is both the ongoing development into improving the shell, and the feedback we have received from our members reguarding usability.
- Fluff
thanks for the explination fluff (and excuse my bad spelling).
this is one of the reasons why sony should kill homebrew. they are ****ing making money with homebrew! in the so called normal version u just get stupid useless functions like those mentioned in this normal version...this is jsut ripping ppl not more not less
Charging for priority support and beta access, as well as the ability to influence the applications design is not "selling homebrew", the public, read, FREE version will be updated when added features become stable, so if you do not want to pay for priority privlidges, then you can simply wait.Quote:

lol fluff got it on the nose.. had to give a remark to that being that i hover these forums on a daily basis.. might as well make an account to agree with em.. btw i love psix.. **** what everyone says including them stupid ****s in #psp-hacks on their proper server.. i still till this day havent gotten to use the pro version but from what I can see this is going to be the best shell.. them punks in #psp-hacks claim psp-oss to be a whole lot better in ever way but still await for them to prove me wrong.. long live psix.. if i had 10 bux in the bank i would join the pro team.. but at this moment in time im struglin just to keep my comcast cable up.. good luck with what your doing fluff and ignore all the haters.. my 2 cents
They just hate because they tried to crack the mac protection over 5 weeks ago, and still havent managed it :)Quote:
