PSIX Feature List Released

**Mustang** · January 24th, 2006, 01:24

Commercialism is one thing, rewarding hard work is another : if an app cuts the mustard I can't see any reason not to pay for it and also the money goes straight to the people who count in this case : the authors, rather than being split between retailers / distributors / etc, not some greedy suits who have no idea what is going on here....

Everyone here is entitled to their opinion though - there's always going to be a free alternative (psp oss looks like it could go pretty far given it's open source heritage).

cheers for posting the news wraggs

i think it s wrong to sell homebrew and i don t think sony will be happy about un-registered develloper selling software on the web.

anyway psix was hot 6 months ago...psp-oss is opensource and free...

If Sony allows it, why not sell it. If it's REALLY AMAZING of a homebrew, I'd pay for it. It better be "Woaah that's some cool $#@!!" amazing though.

I don't agree with a commercial homebrew because it 's gonna kill the underground scene. When you want make a commercial game or application for platforms, you need a license from those companies(Sony, Nintendo...). Remember some years ago with bleem for psx, they got a lawsuit from sony because it was a commercial emulator. since sony and nintendo goes against emulation scene for a while. Warez scene died for the same reasons. There is no difference for the psp scene, if the money is they gonna looking for it and kill the scene in the same time. Sony just improve the firmware and that 's enough to get a challenge for programmers

we should pay them for their hard work but the homwbrew scene is soppused to b 4 fun and pennyless...btw kind of off topic but ********** makes u pay 4 teh call of duty 2 demo...tats really cheap!

what im wondering here is, how is this sapose to kill the
homebrew "scene"?.
personaly i cant see it affecting it any, i dont remmber who
it was but back in the nintendo days there where company's
who put out games on there self made nintendo carts, that
didint kill anyone or anything.
i agree with fluff on one thing, the psp "scene" is extreamly
harsh, not just to the people making the software but everyone
all around.....as far as the scene goes, you treat people like
@#$ what do you think is going to happen?, the plain fact is
people are doing this in there spare time as a hoby, it has
to be worth it to them and all the @#$# head's out there make
it so its not.....

i think the main fact here is, if you like the shell pay for it, if not
dont, sony might sue them but they might not....other then
that its not going to effect anyone or anything......just leave
the coders alone and let them develop how they want, show
you hate something by not downloading it, not by throwing a bunch
of mouthy bull$#@! at the person thats making it

i don't think they can get sued for selling a homebrew os, aslong as it doesn't have copyrighted material, and the fact that all the psp-devtools were made from scratch basically, sony can't sue them. Selling an emulator on the other hand is a different story, bleem is a perfect example of what happens.

**flingo** · January 24th, 2006, 04:33

are you so naive at this point ?!!!, if this stuff attract sony for a lawsuit, it will be the beginning of some pressure for many programmers as fanjitas. Take recently the ms driller clone, it's free homebrew but Nintendo would attend a lawsuit for an attempt to the copyright. Keep sony far away from the scene, it's gonna be better for the hombrews. No place for the money makers in underground scene, that's not an objectif
for many programmers. Psix use many free tools from ps2dev to make money with a pseudo software.
