Dark_AleX Quitting PSP Development?

You may remember the Dark_AleX impostor site, dark-alex.com, that recently popped up supplying homebrew that would brick any PSP it was installed on. Well Dark_AleX, developer of the Homebrew Enabler and  has posted a message on his website stating that he is considering an end to his PSP development as a result of this and loss in his family, among other things. Dark_AleX, let us offer our condolences to you and your family. Read what he had to say below.

Tired, tired and tired. I was already tired in my personal life, and i'm now getting tired of my "virtual" life too.

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 *** 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.

A glimpse of FW3.00's visualizer on 2.71 SE-C

If you guys have been following the goings on in the homebrew community, then you've probably heard the news that LordSturm and kando are currently working on having fw 3.00's Visualizer in 2.71SE-C.

When Dark_Alex released his 2.71 SE-C Custom Firmware, you didn't really expect that other coders wouldn't get to work on improving it and adding more features right? A perfect example for this is LordSturm and kando, who are hard at work in devising a method to use 3.00 visualizer features safely from 2.71 SE-C.

And to update us on what's been going on so far and how much progress they've achieved on their work, kando (or kandowontu on YouTube) has posted this video on YouTube which shows the visualizer at work...via Kanye West. Again, they remind us that this is a work in progress so if you don't like what you see, don't complain just yet, alright? LordSturm has also informed us that we can expect a release or hack soon, probably early December. Great work you guys!

PSP Animation Studio v1

Here's yet another one to add to our long list of homebrew apps coded in LUA, the PSP Animation Studio v1. Brought to us by masonman, the same coder who shared with us his LUA game pack more than a week ago, now he's back with this animation app which allows us to basically create, view, and edit animations on our PSPs.

Here are the current features of PSP Animation Studio v1:
  • variable tile size/number
  • various mapping and drawing tools
  • multiple frame view
  • animation veiwer
  • dynamic saver
  • loop rate change
To install this app, simply extract the contents to your luaplayer/applications folder and that's it! You can now run the app on your handhelds. masonman says that there are currently 10 dividers per frame and 10 frames per screen, you press Start to save and view the animation, and then press Start again to go back to the edit menu.

To do:
  • implement menu system with sounds
  • integrate into eboot for .gif extention saving
Don't worry though, masonman assures us that he will be adding more to this app because, as he says, "I have a f'd up ankle and can't skate for a while." Guess you know what that means, more time for coding fellas!

How-to video: 2.71 SE-B" to 2.71 SE-C upgrade

Alright! This one's for all the fellas out there who are still asking various how-to's especially regarding the recent development in the PSP community: the release of Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE-C custom firmware.

Kudos goes to ESlayer (or known as Easyslayer69 on YouTube) for posting this step by step walkthrough vid on how to upgrade from 2.71 SE-B to 2.71 SE-C on fw 1.5. Even though it's kinda long (eight minutes all in all), it could be really useful to you if you're planning on upgrading (if you haven't yet, that is) and you haven't got a clue on what to do. No further instructions needed because the vid pretty much says it all.
