iRShell News

Stonecut revealed some good news about the future of iRShell. And some bad news too...

Good:

I would like to inform you that there will indeed be another iR Shell release for 3.80 M33 soon ...

Bad:

However, this will be the FINAL release of iR Shell.

This means: After the next release there will NOT be any more releases. Ever. After that Ahman will be retiring from the scene for good. It should be out in a few days if nothing serious happens during beta testing.

No more iR-Shell, huh?

iR Shell for for 3.80, yay!!! Thats the only thing I've missed since the upgrade (it's the only thing I haven't got back up and running). Sad that it's gonna be the last release looks like I'll be runnin 3.80 into the ground unless Ahman is kind enouph to let someone else pick up the codeing. At any rate thanks for one last release, this is by far the best shell(in my opinion) and makes the PSP very versitale away from a computer.

I'll believe he's retired when I see it.. Dax has retired like 36 times and same with Ahman no?

I hope they do some extra work to make iRShell a little more future-proof. Don't want a 4.0 firmware to come out, boot up iRShell, and have it tell me that the firmware is unsupported. ^^;

Granted, there's still the 1.5 version at least.

I don't think Ahman will retire. He probably exhausted but just to give him some time/space, he will be back

"No, source code will not be released. Don't ask. Maybe the firmware version lock will go, though. It still won't help much since especially irspatch.prx and other kernel patches need to be reversed for each new firmware revision, though."

.. when someone asked him if the source code is going to be release.

I'll miss updates IRShell, but I sure won't miss the drama that those little drag queens like to cause.

If Ahman was a real dev, he would release the source code when he was through; there's no reason not to. The source files are just going to sit around on his hard drive unused while there are plenty of developers available to continue updating it.

Enough bull****.

If Ahman won't release the source code, he probably will continue work on it

It's his program and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. If you don't like that, tough $#@!... Make your own IR Shell.
