The custom firmware team M33 are taking a break.

Here is what they said:

Hello, World.

After a hard discussion between every member of M33 (3 votes against 2),
we have decided to take a little break before releasing anything else.
(Take it as the russian winter that might come even when there is sun
in front of us)

The main reasons for this decision are as follow:

First, looking at how have things have come since we started our work,
we now know how might have felt other developers when there are much
other interests that don't benefit to the entire Scene. We all know
what we are talking about, and we will make our best to eradicate all
of this rotted side of the world in which we are nowadays, in the near
future.

Second, to teach a lesson. A mayor percentage of the PSP (and others)
Scene(s) has to think about what it has come into since there are lots
and lots of people that just want to steal money and attention when they
don't even deserve it. This has existed since the beggining, and this is,
clearly, to that hackers-wannabe that modify a couple of files and want
to be acclaimed as a God-like.

And third, to have fun looking at how all this lamers that steal codes
don't know what to do when there is no binaries or sources to modify ;-)
Ok, that last one was kidding a bit... but that doesn't mean that it's
not right :-P

We know, of course, that lots of psp webpages will full with insults and
lame plots (we surf daily most of them), but this won't make change this
decision, so here's a little advice: Don't waste your breath reinforcing
what we have just said, and have patiente. Also, don't look for guilty
ones, as you might have to look deeply into every one that have demanded
without any right to be released something that will be free for all of
the scene, as always.

Also, it's interesting to say that you should buy the games you like,
gaving support to the ones that you think that they have done a good job,
as we are all developers, and all the ones that stay hours and hours
in front of a pc screen have their rights to have a remuneration for what
is, after all, their job.

And, by the way, to avoid lamers saying that we have lied or prophets
telling lies to the Scene, 3.71m33 *is* finished, and will be released
when we come back. (or a later version if needed)

You can always contact us via a pm on pspx.ru forums, and on [email protected].
Thanks for all the support till this day. See you all soon :-)

Team M33

I for one give my full support to them and think they should enjoy their break - they've deserved it.

Do you think anyone else will release a decent 3.71 cfw?

And how long do you think their break will be?

I agree with Cloudhunter: They deserve a break. It seems they've been working 24/7 since they first released 3.51 M33. I'm looking much forward to 3.71 M33 and hope it has some neat, new features.
