DAMN BASTARDS!!!

Damn bastards, trying to do crap like that to Fanjita! A well respected individual, who brought homebrew to 2.0+ Bastards, they should be banned from homebrew if it was possible....May their psps be updated to 2.71!!! MWA

?

2.00 downgrader for 1000 dollars? ROFL! there are already 2.00 downgraders

Comments -

Hey, it's just an image for demonstration ;) And it says 2.0+ anyways, not just 2.0 :)

Heh reminds me of this... http://cgi.ebay.com/PSP-Downgrader-2-0-to-1-50-Wallpapers_W0QQitemZ104753036545QQihZ020QQcategoryZ91514QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

O Ok, I thought too fast, thanks for the clarification :)

fanjita is no god

to many people worship fanjita yes he is a developer so wut because of him homebrew is better for some psp owners fanjita also ignores anyone who he has never spoken to before ever person i have ever spoken to who has tried to contact fankita has been ignored or told what they r doing has no potential when have of it does dont get me wrong i recognize fanjitas talents but people hold to much stock in him he does not know and see all and he is not the only person who has contributed to the psp hombrew scene

wtf

thnx for not giving me credit on this

to #6

#6, Its sounds like you hold something against him lol. What he ever done to you?

its wut he does to others

well it was more this guy skylark a mod or admin on his site but i know a lot of ppl who have been ignored and shutdown by fanjita

#7

Monaco - What are you talking about? If you sent in a news tip, it was probably recieved after I saw this article on fanjita's site. Do you guys expect fanjita to answer every freakin question or statement made to him? Do you guys even know how many contact him each day? No, you dont ;) Fanjita is not hard to get a hold of, if you have something good to say, or something that only he can answer, he will.

^

if fanjita should help everyone that contacted him for help he probably wouldnt have any time to work on his own projects.

amen

amen to that Justin B. and on top of all the emails he gets, he also has a life.

fanjita

Agreeed with Justin B. #6, you're right, Fanjita isn't God, that's why he can't help everyone of you at the same time. Just like lol(unregistered) said, if he spent time on you guys, he wouldn't have time on his own projects. you should be thankful that this guy released eLoader.

where talking about the fake downgraders guys

nocomment

where talking about the fake downgraders guys

its those bloody wankers anyway them dumbasses trying to get what they believe to work but no one believes then dam them all to heck those virus trojan *****s

never used it

maybe the reason im not thankful for the eloader is because ive no use for it i was a noob and upgraded to 2.7 because iwas told by someone the only way to run homebrew on any psp was with gta and i didnt have money for it at the time ive since learned the errors of my way and have payed dearly for it. why be thankful for something you dont have use or need. i admited i respected his skills as a developer but i still think ppl hold to much stock in fanjita if people didnt need his seal of aprooval to be taken seriously nowaday i think we might find a lot more hope for later versions of firmware and since fanjita is busy with his own progects and not interested in 2.7 and 2.71 he will not give his seal of approval to anyone all im saying is their is never gonna be another fanjita because he wont talk to ppl who have ideas and no one takes them seriously because fanjita hasnt aprooved it

where talking about the fake downgraders guys

i mean who do they think to put there stuff under other peoples names and to bring the name that they are not worthy of letting it roll off there toung just so they can get there stuff out bastards

i shall post one more

he is a well respected person and i think he earned it and disserved it

I hope this comment can be considered fair.

I'm not quite so hardcore as to say I hate Fanjita, but I do feel that the way he is reflected on here suggests he has a bigger ego even than me, which is not a good thing. Sure, he seems to be a good coder, but I do feel he should get off his high-horse a bit. You're not a god, mate. After all, to put a bit of perspective into this - you're coding programs for a small portable device. It's hardly creating world peace, etc.. But what I will say is that within the sphere of homebrew, he seems very talented, I just feel that his style has room for improvement. Try not to lose track of the fact that homebrew coding is not The Whole World (tm) and so should not be treated as the most important thing in peoples' lives.

YEAH RESPECTED!

Not like those Epsilon guys... LOL.

Conditions

Most ppl here think that Fanjita is good but is a jerk, some think hes not good like #19. I know what its like to recieve many many emails or messages a day, but i usually manage to answer all of them meaning that yeh hes probably a jerk. However, i dont know how smart u ppl are, so dont take off too much credit. I look at what he has done for us (not me, i have 2.01) and am happy, i dont get into the person who made it too much. Oh and the PSP is NOT just a "small portable device" !!!

Fanjita

I see where some of you are coming about this. Fanjita is not THAT great in my eyes, but he's alright. I've sent him emails before and he seems to respond about the next day or so. I think people just see him as a god because he's the one that made homebrew for 2.01+ possible. Sure Edison Carter paved the way for him, but he's the one that pulled it all through and made his EBOOT Loader work on 2.01+ :) That's why many love him for his work. I for one think he's great, sure, but there are more people I respect as much as he himself. He's more of a one time thing while other devs are almost always around. Maybe that's why people like Fanjita a whole lot. He only comes around every now and then. Fanjita isn't an all mighty coder, sure, but who is? I mean, everyone is good at something different. He has his eLoader, while other devs have their respected homebrew apps. Overall Fanjita is alright in my book. He's not a god to me and I don't go crazy over him like some people do, but he's alright.

wtf

nocomment

wtf

wtf with you 'fanjita is bad, fanjita is not god' whatever. He never stated he is god, and his respect comes from the stuff he made, not that he forces you to 'respect him'. And you f'ing trolls with no life, lets see you create a program like a CALCULATOR for the psp first, let alone a troll, f'ing freeloaders not grateful for anything. So fanjita is a jerk cause he doesn't answer e-mails probably of the likes of anonymous sending "How you load gta iso on 2.6?". So you stupid trolls get off YOUR high-horse, stop thinking you're awesome, and go to the corner of your room for a well deserved timeout.

i hate these 4ssholes!

what the title says

#19 and others...

As someone who has dealt with Fanjita on many occasions, just let me say that "egotistical" is one of the last words I'd use to describe him. He is more modest and unassuming than anyone else I've spoken with in the PSP world. Any sort of Fanjita"hype" is imposed on him by others. He has no control over that. If anything, he shies away from publicity and "fandom". He just likes to code and do things for the PSP. Any sort of God-complex is an illusion created by admirers.

lay off

i never said i hate fanjita i said i respect him in everyone of my posts just thought id bring that up and i realize fanjita is not egotistical i said people put to much stock in him i never said anything about him thinking he was all that and a box of choclates and just for the record i have made a calculator for psp you just need flash player knowledge lol that was a joke i know i dont have fanjitas coding skills stop falming me for saying people need to respect that their our other contributors to the homebrew community

...

"Do not download any downgraders unless we confirm they are real." Yah, cuz we all know we can't think for ourselves, jee wiz, thanks PSPUPDATES!!!

mouthpiece

I am the mouthpiece of an other pspsite we will spread the voice!

Not good at all

This isn't the first time a respected Dev has been "scammed" in the homebrew world and it's sad to say it won't be the last. Fanjita has given many of us here a new lease of life for our PSP's. People should be a little bit more thankful for what he has done. I wasn't registered here untill today, but I'm frankly getting sick of unregistered users being disrespectful...

stop *****ing about it.

The main issue is that there is a fake downgrader with Fanjita's name in it. You all should be *****ing about the people who did that, and not about wether you like fanjita or not. If you like the guy, you do. If you don't like the guy, you don't. stop *****ing about it and put your efford in finding out who the creators of the fake downgrader are.. Credit to ALL the people who create homebrew and share it..

wtf

well i know that if i reveiced a ton of emails every day from a bunch of noobs i wouldnt want to waste my time answering them all :/

my word.

Why is everyone talking about Fanjita not being God? This news post wasnt "EVERYONE CHECK IT OUT! FANJITA IS A SEL PROCLAIMED GOD!" I think it was ACTUALLY about the fake downgrader. Fanjita doesnt 'claim' to be great or to answer everyones mails/messages/half baked ponderings regarding downgraders that wont work, he does what he wants, this has resulted in a great piece of work that lets 2.0+ users play homebrew. 2.71 doesnt get his'approval' not because he's a d1ck and/or thinks its below him. The top and bottom of it is he cant get the eloader running on it and theres probably a hundred other groups working on cracking the 2.71 firmware. I for one would rather he kept working on the eloader with the aim to one day get kernal use from it. To all you people saying "yeah Fanjitas not all that" or "he's not god you know", be aware its not really the guys fault if a load of children with PSP's worship him because he got homebrew to work on there 2.0+ PSP's. He cant help others stupidity and blind hero worship so give him a break. The second point in this is, we all know he's not God, however, wheres the killer app YOU made for the PSP? In devolpment is it? Ready to be released is it? Brings homebrew to 2.7 PSP's does it? No? thought not....

adds

all the adds on this site annoy me because i accidetnally click on them so one day i accidentally clicked on the one about some downgrade secret and it takes you to a site that talks about a sony employee who knows how to downgrade any psp firmware to play homebrew and its all recorded stape by stape instructions on a video which can be yours for only $20 has any one looked into this is it fake does it work wanna reveal the secret if it does? srry that this is off topic but its been bugging me i hafta know

More of a debate than I expected from a simple warning post

@34: Sounds like exactly the sort of fake downgrader that this article was about. Up until recently I'd assumed that the scam was just to take the money, and hope that the scammee just wouldn't bother chasing for a refund. Well, it looks like it's evolved into 'take the money, give someone else's email address for complaints'. It bothers me that they're using my email address, not because of all the extra mail that I'll get, or because of people thinking I'm a scammer, but because (for good or bad) it's well-known and trusted, so there's a chance that more people will be taken in. That's why I posted a warning on fanjita.org and noobz.eu. To address various other points: Whether I like it or not, I've become well known in PSP circles, and along with that comes a certain amount of fandom, hero-worship and so on. I hope you'll trust me when I say that that's not what I do it for - personally, I find it all rather uncomfortable, and I'd probably prefer the anonymity. I'm just a regular guy, who happens to know a bit of coding, and who happens to love homebrew. I'm not some sort of almighty hacker/cracker/coder. I'm lazy, and often dumb. And I try to have a normal life besides the PSP. For the first 6 months after the first eLoader release, I was spending ALL my free time on developing eLoader, answering email, and generally doing PSP things, alongside holding down a full-time job and supporting a family. That's about 1% of my estimated lifespan. Recently I've been spending less time on coding for the PSP, but still putting most of my free time into trying to build the homebrew community - mostly in the form of the homebrew database. I think it's safe to say that I put more time than could reasonably be expected into the PSP homebrew scene. So forgive me if sometimes I fall behind in answering my email. Out of the email I receive about the PSP, the breakdown goes something like: 75% asking about something that's covered in FAQs on my site, or elsewhere on the net. I have an autoreply that points people to the best places to get answers to those questions. I don't have time to answer most of them personally. 10% asking something out of the ordinary. I try to answer those questions if I have time, but they usually take a little while to respond to, because they involve a bit of thought. 10% from people who don't know what they're talking about, describing some vague idea they might have about a new potential downgrader etc. I never try to dissuade these people (it's important to keep thinking for yourself) but there's not enough time in the day to answer every single one in detail. 5% from people who know what they're talking about, discussing an interesting technical problem, challenge or question. These are what I'd like to spend my time on, but sadly because they take a lot of time, I don't always get a chance to give them the attention they deserve. Still, I'll usually try to help as much as I can - and if there's some way in which I can help, I'll do it if I can. Sadly a lot of the emails I receive are almost incomprehensible, full of leet-speak and poor grammar. You might think that grammar and spelling are unimportant, and a lot of kids are taught that these days. But the point of grammar is to make your communication understandable, and I'm afraid that if it's a choice between spending 15 minutes trying to work out what one person has said, or spending the same time helping out 5 others, I'll choose the latter option. Of course this doesn't apply to people who don't speak English as a first language - I'll always allow for that, because I respect the effort that non-English speakers make - and amazingly, their writing is usually the most understandable anyway. The other class of mail that gets flat out ignored is simply the type that just demands favours, in an offensive way. Emails saying, for example "So you think you're all that? Where's your downgrader for v2.71 then, a-wipe?" are on a fast ticket to the recycl

Gah, cut short in my prime

Here's the missing text: ... to the recycle bin. I don't expect people to crawl on their knees begging for crumbs, as if I'm some sort of god of homebrew. But I do expect the same level of civility that I would extend to any fellow human being when asking for a favour. It's just simple common sense and courtesy. As for the whole "not sanctioned by Fanjita" thing - that's not anything of my doing, and in fact I'd rather not be constantly hassled with the latest wild speculation. I'm also the first to admit that I'm not the only knowledgeable person in the homebrew community. There are many other people with similar or greater knowledge and expertise, and they're more than capable of making their views known. But just remember - often the major reason why a particular idea is ignored, is because it's either been suggested before, or because it's just not something that is likely to be doable. Most people who've been doing serious software development for some time have a good eye for achievable ideas, without needing to look too hard at them. So remember - it may not be the hard-pressed coders who are at fault, it could just be your half-baked idea ;) .

Cheap Publicity

What have F&D "produced" in the last month? Nothing big. It seems to me that they want to have their name in the center of attention. Everybody is waiting for somenting revolutionary on PSP scene. For a lot of people F&D are "dead". This roumor? I never finded something like this on internet and I surf every night looking for something. hmmmmm ..... they are making cheap publicity for their names that have rised on the work of others dev. Shame on you F&D.

HAHAHAHA!!!

lol@37 You moron!

ha

to number 37 shut up spangleboy.

poor guys

These are just guys that can't offord to buy their own PSP and are so jealous that they want to see other's PSPs bricked

It may be... It may be not...

True

Sony!

I bet sony had make that fake downgrader.

wow

1000 bucks? never! have they heard of it only cost 100 for a modchip to downgrade any version? lol and using fanjita's names just lame, didn;t it happen lasttime?

Good... maybe you haters can shut up now?

And there you have it. Proof that Fanjita does not think of himself with an ego. So I guess all you whiny, stupid haters can shut up, now. You rabid, frothing, trolling, negitive, morons... Fanita is not god, and he dosn't think he is. HOWEVER, he is a well known develpoer and some respect from other people naturally goes along with that. Maybe if you haters and whiners could get over the fact that none of YOU have done anything worth appreciating aside from being jackasses, you could pull your foots out of your mouths and respect Fanjita for who he is.... Just a developer that came out with a very well liked utility (eLoader) and a guy that just wants to life a normal life without fanitical praise.... or from idiot morons who bash hims endlessly when they don't even know what they are even talking about.
