[PSP] Dark_AleX Leaving Scene?!

**F9zDark** · July 3rd, 2007, 16:33

Wow this really sucks ass. But there is a clear difference between DA and the PS3 hackers:

-PS3 hackers set out to make an ISO loader from the GET GO. Their intention was solely pirating.

-DA made custom firmwares, that while they came with an ISO loader for both UMD and converted PSX games, his main priority was keeping homebrew alive on higher firmwares so PSP owners could play homebrew AND new games without having to make a sacrifice.

The fact that Sony has let DA do this unimpeded for so long as it is, is a testament to the fact that they either:

-Don't care as much about the PSP as they do the PS3
-Or had respect for the fact that DA made firmwares that allowed us the best of both worlds. Thanks to DA I was able to buy both MGS:PO and Killzone Liberation.

Well thanks for all your work DA, you will be missed.

Thank you very much, Dark_Alex, for your work, also continued after hard times in your life.

May Fortune be with you ;-)

So dax is quitting? I was wondering how long it would take for Sony to go after him. This totally blows. I hope all goes well for dax.

I wonder if Team C+D and Noobz can/will write custom firmwares later on? And why is everyone hating on Becuz25? At least, he has some skill/balls to tackle firmware modding as well, I believe his skills will improve at a much faster rate now. And what about HarleyG? Where has he been? And if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there another team a long while back who was supposed to be making a replacement firmware specifically for running homebrew?

No new OE?

**kjetil1991** · July 3rd, 2007, 16:47

we must keep the homebrew alive

Maybe Sony got a hold of DA before firmware 4.0 got released and he made an OE of it. This sucks really BAD, but I got a feeling this is just a break from everything. I'm almost sure that whenever a good firmware comes out, Dark Alex won't resist the cravings for making an OE of it. Also, thanks to DA I was able to BUY UMDs without upgrading my firmware. Now if there's a game that requires a higher firmware, I just won't buy it. F*CK SONY.
