M33's View on Custom Firmware developement

[ICE]

Well don't you remeber how long it took to get our first custom firmware, so at this point I don't mind how long it will take.

i never said i wanted it out now. all i said was its taking longer so something has happened. im not being impatient im just stating that its taking longer this time.

I think people have lost perspective a bit...

M33 (and those before them and no doubt those who will follow them) are hacking PSP Firmwares to allow use of non-Sony approved code on the PSP and PSP Slim & Lite.

While this is great for us, eg. emulators and homebrew etc. it is not really what the PSP was designed for. It was designed to make money for Sony executives and shareholders.

Surely we are all old enough and wise enough to realise that ANYTHING beyond the use that Sony intend for the PSP is a bonus and we should be grateful to those people who put in the time to code these custom firmwares.

If there are no more custom firmwares ever released would it really matter?

Ultimately, it is just for playing computer games...it is not important like a heart-lung machine or a intensive care incubator is it..?

*steps down from the soap box*

This is the internet. There is no perspective.

[discombobulated]

So basically they're pissed that someone is taking their code and changing it after they've took Sony's code and changed it? WTF?

Thank you M33 for your CFW, but get over yourselves.

lol yet soo true

[Basil Zero]

lol

I was waiting for their next release, but guess this explains it.

No, what M33 are objecting to, are people stealing their custom firmware, and then changing a few things and calling it completely their own.

I'm 100% sure that AoP or whatever they are called are just doing a M33 based firmware - if they can even extend it in the first place.

Someone from that team was asking how to start a LUA application on startup of the firmware

Hello, world.

As you have seen, some things have changed between Sony and the developing of custom firmwares.

Due to the leak (that we've always gone against this crime) of the OE sources from a private svn, everyone can
take a peek into the patches done from the Open Edition to the original firmwares to allow the development
into this scene that was growing day after day. And, when we say anyone, we include Sony.

This intrusion into one of the basis of the actual PSP Scene, has just made harm to the entire world of the
PSP Scene. Therefore, Sony saw this and made some interesting changes in some modules (mainly loadcore), plus
the change of some nids that are used to the development of M33 Custom Firmware.

So, if you can't wait for the new release, you'll have to wait; and this is cause this leak and this changes
made upon the material we work and we try to release asap to the *entire* psp community. Looks like, as always,
there is someone that wants to be important in this world when no-one asks him, and his result is this delay
on the development of the new versions.

This "benefit" that much lammers talked about in foreign forums, talking about OE leak, will just made a result
in the near future: that serious developers (including us) will think twice before releasing anything else.

And also, speaking about the new "custom firmwares" that have been released, such as AoP, and others addons
that use M33Cf, will be deeply studied and reversered to see if *anything* of the core, reboot, or whatever
from our work has been ilegally used. If this is afirmative, we'll have to act against this.

This changes won't probably last too long and won't be an important problem, but it's just, as we have just said,
another resultant of trying to be someone on this world by stealing and leaking instead of studying.

Please have patient and stay tuned for the next Custom Firmware for PSP and PSP Slim and Lite

M33 Team.

So hang in there guys!

uh, so who the **** leaked? I would LOVE to meet him :thumbup:


It would be like when the bully gets his ass beat in the new halloween. except he would see it comming a mile away (im more of the chase and kill, rather than the stalk and kill )

:thumbup: :thumbup:

i didnt even know oe got leaked. that stinks.
way to help sony n00bs.
i need to get a slim so i can use al the newer firmware, hopefully they will also include some kind of a simulated 1.5 kernal so that there is no more need for the eloader. i remember the eloader from 2.6 using gta, it was such an anoying hassel.

[alexvander]

its cuz stupid ps3news hacked in and got the source code and put it on the net. now sony got ahold of it and improved its security
