The DCEmu Interview - Question 8 - Whos the Greatest Homebrew Hacker/Coder and Why ?

[Nikolaos]

I do not have a favorite coder, hacker or anything. Everybody who contributes to the PSP Scene, or the NDS scene has my vote... you all rock.

[Gene]

I think any coder that has ever contributed anything, are the best coders.

[jamotto]

Every single coder who made the homebrew scene just a bit better.

[Aryn]

Dark Alex for the win!

Sure, others have managed to hack various console systems, but he played a role in the development of the famous PSP Pandora hack and has been creating hacked versions of the latest PSP firmwares so that gamers never have to sacrifice features on their PSPs in order to continue running unsigned code. He also created Popstation (or is it Pops Loader? I forget) so that gamers can play their old PS1 games on PSP systems without having to repurchase them.

Dan potter is omega!!! but honerable mention to bluecrab for his work on porting a saturn emulator to the DC amoung his other accomplishments, and chui for this very professional emulators.

Its really hard and maybe impossible for me to pick a "greatest" PSP homebrew & emulation hacker. This is because so much is shared and contributed between developers so its sort of like one big team effort of sorts. This isn't the case for all projects, but certainly a lot of them.

Thanks to all the PSP homebrew developers and coders of past, present, and future.

[Bane King]

I don't agree with this thread at all since alot of this wouldn't be possible with the combined effort of all the hackers.

I agree. I'm just a user so I'm totally useless when it comes to contribution but had it not been for everyones' work (that they do in their spare time and give FOR FREE), I'd have no real reason to own a psp. All the psp really is is a glorified portable ps2 with a ps3 interface. Although baddazz, my laptop does everything it does and more AND it does it much faster.

GOOD JOB coders and here's to keeping your stuff free
