Dark Alex to Return/New M33 Firmware ?

Mathieulh posted this interesting news :

Not quite a surprise but I rather make it official, after much reflexion Alex decided to go on with the M33 project, although you should not expect as regular updates as there used to be, for instance the M33 will be updated to future kernels only when believed necessary, thus no 3.72M33 planned (we are waiting on future official firmwares and keep improving M33's features from now on.)

Nice to know that when a good firmware update comes from Sony that we may have a new custom firmware shortly after.

And not only that, the custom firmware will be very reliable because it's made by DA, good news to see he's back.

Thats awesome! ^_^ looking forward to the great updates now that DA is back in the scene

this made my day.

Glad to see he's here to stay! I hope he will continue his work/investigation on the 1.5 kernel and somehow making it work on the PSP Slim. Now that he figured out the display drivers ( Which was one of the major issues ) He might just be able to get the rest sorted out and we'll have 1.5 kernel running a PSP Slim someday!

nice news

Glad to see that he never really left us. So finally I can have faith in the psp scene because DAX is keeping it alive, along with the release of picodrive I am complete once again.

Heh, as always, DAX never leaves

Christmas is right around the corner and will mark 1 year since I left the coveted 1.50 for Dark_AleX's custom firmware. And I'm glad I did. What a ride its been over the past 11 months.

Just when you think things can't get much better for the PSP homebrew scene we generously received the PicoDrive Genesis/Sega CD emulator from Notaz and now news that Dark_AleX & team will stay on board with the PSP scene for the foreseeable future.

We must never forget how lucky we are and how much appreciation is owed to all of the coders who continue making the PSP so damn amazing.

I must say that I agree in the strategy of waiting for major official firmware updates before tackling new CFW's. I think that is more beneficial in the long-term.

So another thanks to all the PSP homebrew coders, devs, and everyone in between that is involved in this great community of ours.

They already can. They just decided not to release it. See the post from Mathieulh here

By the way, the original forum thread which this news is stolen from is here:

About the releases you should either check the m33 website, exophase.com, the m@xconsole forums, Dark_Alex's website or the lan.st forums, or any other news site you see fit (although the previous ones are likely the ones that are getting update the sooner)

If you have any improvements idea feel free to notice us about those, also if you wish to participate actively in M33 and wish to share code to the project, you shall allways contact us (or at least me by mail at [email protected] (checked daily) if you have any trouble in contacting Alex)

Cheers

(Yes, I deliberately avoided the filter. That filter really needs to go.)

Why the other useful information was left out, I have no idea
