"I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.
The reasons are various.
One of them is the time it consumes, which i'm losing from other things.
The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.
I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences. "
What is the future for custom firmware users?

no 3.51 OE-A could of been cool with more added stuff, like the ability to play iso without a UMD and dat is possible because of the hidden iso loader. man, i think dark-alex should teach someone how to make custom firmware so they can carry on his work.

This is almost as bad as when I found out that the US Govorment blew up the Twin Towers in NYC!
They did a really good job covering that up ;)
But ya we can't live with 3.40oe-a forvever... right?

Say it ain't so! DaX was the most loved homebrew developer out there! But it's his choice and he's done a lot for us so we should respect him. I hope someone will continue making the OE firmwares. But damn that sucks..

if nobody else decides to code custom firmwares, were all screwed over. sony has these gay idstorage checks in 3.30 so nobody who downgraded in the past can go past 3.30 ofw.

This is just speculation but do u think with the suddenness of this all that sony might have bribed him or something because clearly he was the ringleader and for him to stop completely so suddenly is quite odd.

This sucks sooooo bad!!! If nobody makes more custom we are f**ked!!! because if s0ny was smart they would make a 3.60 and all of the new games require 3.60 to play them so we wouldn't be able to play anymore new games!!!

well im sure all the people who made second grade custom firmwares (second grade as in crappy when compared to DaX's) will eventually step up and decide OE is the best, and continue making them.
and, sony wouldnt bribe dark alex, theyd scare him with legal threats, maybe send him a piece of information about him, just to throw him off his game. congratulations sony. u finally got an upper hand. we'll just have to pull something out of our asses in time for 3.60 and 3.61 and so on...

yeah, he said that he found a message in the coding of a firmware telling him to stop or they would press charges. i would be scared too. i would leave also. he will also be back. i gaurantee it. he will post under a new name and be hidden. so if you find that he has a new name, dont post it or SONY will find out

I've lost two family members this year because of cancer, one of them last week, and the LAST THING my family need are legal problems because of the confussion generated by that son of a bitch of dark-alex.com.
PSP programming and reverse engineering used to be fun. It was a hobby that distracted my mind of the darkness of life,
it was funny to understand the code of an operating system made by a big company.
But lammers attacking me and using my name to commit CRIMINAL ACTS in the worst moment of my life,
is far from my idea of funny.
I don't feel secure anymore in the net. I don't feel my computer secure.
Because of this, I'm considering to stop any psp development.
