How long have you been in the scene?

i was on a spanish homebrew scene

[InanimateCrbnRod]

I've been in the psp scene since june 26th, but because I didn't know homebrew wouldn't work on 2.6 firmware I didn't get into the homebrew scene until a week after the TIFF exploit was found.

I have been on with the homebrew scene since I joined DCEmu in June 2006.

[Man]

Iv been here, since about a month after the psp came out, i never signed up, just leached until i had to sign up lol. I upgraded to 2.00 to play GTA:lcs, and then i was screwed for a while, but i was lucky and a downgrader came out. Iv followed the seen ever since.

I got my psp in January 2006, but I didn't hear of homebrew until much later. I already updated to 2.60, which needed gta then.
I found homebrew when I was looking for psp cheats and found www.psp-vault.com. I found a section called homebrew, which I didn't really know or care what it was. Later, out of curiosity and boredom, I looked and found tons of games. I remember when I went camping with my laptop(lol) and installed some homebrew. I didn't know why it wasn't loading until I read the readme of the homebrew pack I had. It said on 2.60 I needed GTA:LCS and my parents wouldn't let me get it.
I waited looking for a way to run homebrew on 2.60 without GTA. Then I upgraded to 2.71 for the demos. Later I joined hackerelite.proboards79.com. Hackerelite was trying to hack 2.71 in every way he could think of. He almost got the code for the tiff exploit to work, but then the downgrader for 2.71 was released. The site was then abandoned, so i folowed another person from the site to cloudpsp.co.nr. That site just recently became the victim of spam. Now I am waiting at 2.71 for only a few weeks, when I am getting U.P. on my psp. I'm going straight to OE-C.
Also, I have 95 homebrew games and apps on my 4gb right now

My wife bought me my PSP when it came out in the UK in Septermber, and gave it to me for Christmas. I foolishly upgraded, since the limited reading I had done suggested that I'd be able to downgrade. Big mistake. I eventually got hold of GTA when I could find a copy at a decent price, and used DGen, but since homebrew using the GTA exploit was so limited, and most of the stuff I loved about the PSP (like sleep mode) became useless, I tired of it fairly quickly.

Then, some time later I was reading Wikipedia, I found out about custom firmwares and installed Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE (this wasn't long after its release, I don't think). Been lurking here ever since.
