sad day, i say :( i was a donator, and i was very sad to see that refund =(

Damn some idiot ruined everyones hopes of downgrading there TA-082's I say it was either sony or another PSP hacker wanting to find out his method.

i sent him an email offering to recieve emails on behalf of him and contact him in a different means...its a shame not only to the fans but also to his hard dedicated work for this project to stop because of some kiddie icmp bombing email spoofing kiddie h4x0r.

:(

Yeah the PSP scene is going Downhill it's pretty sad.

no its just a paradox of homebrew....its not professional businessmen or college graduated coders....most of the people involved in one way or another in coding at ALL, wether its a massive virus or an amazing homebrew game, unfortunatly, are kids that are able to do the same thing as professional coders....and we all know how destructive kids can be :/

i dont think its the psp scene as a whole, although it may be in the spotlight for now. its the availability of finding out how to be malicious online....its not hard to find :(

Yeah, very sad :( I wish him luck in his next venture.

Cloudy

sad day and yes the psp seen is declining for now but I predict it will hop up a notch some time soon.

so what happend ... ?:confused:

A major blow to TA-082 PSP owners. Hopefully for those people another solution will present itself someday.

Perhaps someone can take on 0okm's project if he lets them.

AAWWWW this is bad.....

I dunno maybe I'm being pessimistic but I can't help thinking that maybe he was just having some trouble or bricked some PSPs so he quit and made that up as cop out.

Or maybe somone who doesn't like the homebrew scene decided to stop the project by simply messing with his box knowing he would run at the first sign of trouble.

Maybe those are a bit farfetched but you're niiave if you don't at least consider them.

Either way as an unfortunate owner of a TA-082 I am quite dissapointed.

Sad.

I feel sorry for him now. I also feel sorry for ta-082 owners. I hate people that do things like this. All he tried to do is help the world, but was strucken down instead.

Whoever did this is a spineless coward who should have their psp sent to the guys that did Smash My XBOX

Doubtful. If it wasn't for Ookm, there wouldn't be a PSP homebrew scene. He has been part of the scene since the beginning and contributed alot towards the building of the PSP SDK.

Its a shame that some impatient asshole comes around and had to ruin it for everyone else. Probably the same asshole that had some dick things to say on Ookm's blog.

Now its up to someone else, but I doubt they will come close; Ookm made a dual flash mod on his own. That alone speaks volumes for the man's genius when it comes to the PSP...

it s a shame...:(

Someone just couldn't help being an ass. How retarded.

to be honest, if this was anyone else, i would have said the same thing (remember the old PSP hoaxs back in the day) but this guy knows his shit.
sad sad day.
and my mate was really relying on this as he owns a ta082... now he will just have to continue playing the amiga emu on my psp.

That's brutal.... ;_;

On-topic, that's sad news for people with TA-082s.

Aw, man! No more TA-082 downgrading?

I knew this would happen from the start. As soon as I saw the news about his offer to downgrade people's PSP's and I saw the requirements I figured some idiot would come in and screw the whole thing up. I really hope that some alternative can be worked out. This is very bad news.

damn now we have to wait longer just because someone made an ass out of themselves and tried to hack ookm's emal, i hope ookm tries to do it once more for everyone who has ta-082 psps :(

His blog is down too. :(

Wow this a bad day for the Homebrew scene.

Is he done with this project or homebrew as a whole j/w? Either very way its very upsetting.

False alarm, his blog is there: ookm.blogspot.com

I don't know if he's done with homebrew, but time will tell.

wow this sucks hard... right when things where getting good for everybody and bang we get screwed by a lil punk@ss kid tryin to steal Ookms code

sup guys,

I have to admit that I'm a Qj fan first and DCemu fan second, but this is still the ONLY place I go to if I actually want to read/participate in intelligent discussions on anything PSP related.

Its really a shame that Ookm has stopped his softdown project, although truthfully I can't blame him - so many whiners, flamers and all around violent skeptics (you know were they lurk, i don't have to mention any initials) - of which I've seen few here at all regarding this - I might have even trashed the whole project just to spite the noobs!
The whole "scam" allegations being thrown around on the "other site(s)" have really pissed me off to no end.

I can also understand not wanting to release anything unfinished or unstable as we've seen even the most 'idiot-proof' downgrader being botched by failure to fully read/comprehent the readme - RTFM in full effect. No doubt the brick owners would have held Ookm personally responsible for there own actions.

In any case, I do hope that Ookm doesn't abandon the platform entirely and can someday strike back at the scene with an amazing release of some sort.

While I'm personally unaffected by this stoppage in the project (i have 2 1.5s) my heart goes out to all the ta-82s and hopefully devhook can be perfected to run 1.5 flawlessly as possible and still keep homebrew for the less fortunate non-DG PSP owners.

Ya, it is a sad day for the psp scene. I have high respect for Ookm and it is a shame that a few spoil it for all. I also hope he stays in the scene and continues any projects he might have.

We love you Ookm.

im probably wrong but what if someone from sony did this??.....just a thought because of the hate sony has for homebrew and because they made the ta-082 to stop hacks and homebrew

Yeah I know not to blame the victim but I can't help being somewhat miffed at the fact that this was all it took for him to give up the project. It's one thing to be a genius and another thing to be a genius with conviction. All these strict rules were meant to punish over-eager fans but he neglected to think about the tool he was giving to anti-homebrewers to ruin his project for all of us by stirring up the smallest bit of trouble.

In retrospect, there's probly a few twisted psp hombrew haters out there who would jump at the chance to easily destroy an opportunity for us to downgrade, starting with Sony and ending with PSP haters and there's probably quite a few hackers who would jump at the bait of a bunch of juicy personal details of people sitting somewhere in an email account. People who may just be wealthy enough to have a psp to spare.

I hope that 0okm is just lying to us for his own protection and is still secretly working on the project. :D

Yikes, really messed up, wonder who the idiot is who pissed him off?

Damn, sad day in the world of homebrew... :(

Doesn't matter really, 0okm allowing them to get to him enough to give up his work has already allowed them to most likely win.

damn shame.

effin lame,many thanks to Ookm for the hard work

This is very sad indeed. We must remember however that 2.71 is going to be very successful in the homebrew category. ;)

It could have been anything. He may have realized that he could get in trouble if someone hacked his email and found all those personal details. I don't know...

I can't imagine Sony would hack him, like what would they gain? But I guess anything is possible
