Fanjita and Ditlew Retiring?!

Fanjita RetiringIn what seems like one of those shocking moments for the PSP Homebrew scene, Fanjita has decided to quit the Homebrew Scene!

The message which comes up on his website :

"Following recent announcements about movie studios ditching the PSP, and after months and months of battling to bring homebrew to a console whose makers obviously don't want it, we decided that it's time to throw in the towel.

Therefore, as of now, there will be no more eLoader releases. Sorry. I know this may seem sudden, but it's been coming for a long time, our enthusiasm for the PSP has been slowly dwindling over the past couple of months.

The final nail in the coffin was spending the last few weeks trying to break a leaked copy of the v3.0 firmware release. Sony have done a really good job on this one, and we've given up hope of being able to crack it. Not even the GTA exploit works - it seems that Sony are really serious about security this time, and it's depressing. The slog ahead to try to crack what amounts to a total rewrite of the firmware just doesn't seem worth it. Good luck to anyone who does decide to try.

I've decided to move to develop for the Gizmondo, a console that has been neglected for homebrew, but where the battle isn't quite so unrelenting. Work has begun on an eLoader for the Gizmondo, allowing the same rich homebrew platform that PSP owners have grown to love. Some people will ask, "Surely the GP2X would be a better choice?", but I've always said that the GP2X doesn't offer any sort of a challenge. Sorry guys, but the Gizmondo really needs some loving...

Ditlew has decided to focus his talents on furthering the burgeoning Xbox360 hacking scene.

So long PSP, it's been nice knowing you."

And seeing how Gizmondo has been in the dumps lately, I feel that they can use Fanjita's help to actually make something worthwile out of the handheld. Fanjita has made it known in the past that he would probably never go to GP2X development because its so easy. That's why he chose Gizmondo, because he often gets begged to help out their homebrew scene.

So on behalf of all the community, I'd like to thank Fanjita for all his hard-work. Fanjita, you can leave the community knowing that none of your hard-work has gone in vain. I'm sure the community here at PSPUpdates feel the same way.

Goodbye Fanjita.


Edit:
Unlike what most of our readers think, this matter is a lot more serious. I just noticed this : eLoader is no more, in our forums.
Plus, the eLoader forum has been closed down. It hardly looks like an April Fools' Joke.

These April fools jokes are getting lame and stupid. I mean everyone is expecting these things today so I really don't belive anything that is reported today. Although the closing of the eloader forums was a nice touch. Plus the "leaked 3.0 firmware" that just screams fake.

by Anonymous Coward - 2006-04-01 01:40
» leaked firmware

the only part of this that makes it unbelivable is that he said he had a copy of 3.0 that was leaked if he had that and he was quiting the psp scene dont you think he would release it, I would, and how did he obtain it its not on any torrent site ramble ramble ramble

Obviously this is an April Fools joke:



1. If he were quiting, odds are HIGH he would have released the eLoader source code so others could work on it. (he isn't an *****. :P)



2. "Leaked copy of the v3.0 firmware"? Sorry man, that is where you went too far.



3. Why would he care about the movie sceen? So what if Sony is failing at life (like it should). We already have PSPs, and most of us only use it for the homebrew stuff only.

My take on this.



I don't use Fanjita's software (since I have a downgraded 1.50 white PSP).



If this is an April Fools joke, its a damn good one (as he's managed to ruffle the feathers of the PSP homebrew community) and the whole point of a AF's joke is to ruffle the feathers.



If it isn't, good luck Fanjita in whatever you decide to do (be it Gizmondo, or whatever).

I have to admit the only reason i was buying new games is because fanjita and ditlew made it possible for me to still use homebrew, But im sick of all of you people B*TCH*NG, These guys are two of the greatest coders ever to hit the homebrew scene, they have made so much possible for us all, you should appreciate all of the time and effort thay have put into the eLoader.



And lets get one thing straight, i live in england and no one cares about what time it is, its still april fools day...

HAHAHA, Fanjita giving up already just because he cant break a "leaked 3.0" firmware?



This is a fake because if this is all true and he did get it, why is he giving up so soon on the firmware? I dont think hes a sissy or anything to just give a glance and then give up.



Of all systems..Gizmondo? Might as well just give me your house cuz he'll probably just lose it. Just like the ex-executive losing his Ferrari and his other sports car.

Yes, it's April 1st. The day that most news sites will hide under a white sheet, too scared to post something that might be wrong because of this day. So here they are, articles that I have found that I think are fakes, someone's idea of an April fools joke.



This site was submitted to QJ this morning, claiming the launch of GTA Chicago for the PS3 in October 2007. To be honest, i've had so many of these fake GTA sites, especially on April fools day, to believe any of it.

"The final nail in the coffin was spending the last few weeks trying to break a leaked copy of the v3.0 firmware release. Sony have done a really good job on this one, and we've given up hope of being able to crack it. Not even the GTA exploit works - it seems that Sony are really serious about security this time, and it's depressing. The slog ahead to try to crack what amounts to a total rewrite of the firmware just doesn't seem worth it."

Everyone, please do not jump to conclusions. Fanjita has informed everyone that he and Ditlew have moved on, what is so hard to believe about this?

Yep, this is definitely a joke. This article had me going until I finished reading it.



Irregardless, the moment Fanjita and Ditlew leave the PSP homebrew scene it will be a major loss to many people. As one who recently updated to version 2.6 I will be depending on his GTA EBOOT loader for awhile.



That is, until I am given good enough reason to take my first PSP out of retirement and fix it, like perhaps a 3D emulator that does not work using the GTA exploit or an exploit that will allow people to run all 2.6 games on a 1.5 PSP. (No, I did not purchase a new PSP for this purpose alone, I picked one up to use for spare parts and experimentation with known hardware hacks)

It is 100% definitely a joke... here's why...

1. ITS APRIL FOOLS DAY!

3. Fanjita wouldn't request that the forum should be closed... people would still use the current eLoader if they did give up making new ones and would still need somewhere to discuss it.

4. Its clear that PSP Updates are either in on the joke or are completely gullable

» my prediction:

IF this is all true and F&D have left the scene and no one else has success of hacking future firmware releases then the psp will fail and be shelved with the old Beta and Betamax. Why? cuz people do not like to be controlled....especially after dropping $300-$400 on a handheld game unit. Prices will drop drastically on the psp over the next year.



Sony...you did it again!!! you control freaks!!! Why not offer a "no limitation" campaign and allow homebrew to flourish? I know your sales for the psp would scream past any other game console AND would pave the way for excellent sales on the next version of psp.



IF my predicition is right ( I know all about Corporate greed) then I will NEVER buy another Sony pc/gaming product.



I sadly upgraded my psp to firmware 2.60 cuz i wanted the added wifi security and that was the only way to get it. PLUS I said to myself " ah it's ok.....Fanjita and the homebrew scene will crack/hack/smack any firmware that comes out...it's just a matter of time."



I TRULY HOPE I AM WRONG and that F & D are laughing their butt's off at us and also that maybe......just maybe Sony will open the psp's firmware for homebrew. Hell would it be too muc to ask to even PAY Fanjita & Ditlew to help out on that project and add it into the menu of a future firmware? Look at how much money Sony has literally thrown away on advertising campaigns!!!!



Wake the F**K up Sony!!!! you want to succeed or just to SUCK? hhmmmmm? PSP will be Betarized if they keep up with these 3rd world terroristic tactics wilst using Bill Gates strategies...LOL..

its possible fanjita coulda gotten a leaked 3.0 firmware. he's obviously a very good programmer and has probably worked for major corporations on major projects. he could have some friends that he talks to that work for sony or other companies or he himself could have once worked for sony. its probably not that hard for him to get ahold of shtuff like that

You guys come on. Anyone who has ever talked or interviewed fanjita knows that he takes thing seriously and would never pull an April Fools prank like this.



Thanks for all the great work you did Fanjita much appreciated. I hope some other programmers come and work on the e-loader which you have created-



COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE US AN OPEN SOURCE OF THE E-LOADER?

midday with the april fools.. well im in canada.. its only 3pm here, i guess fanjita wants to get everybody with his joke. Good one by the way fanjita. I dont think we gonna know the truth today.. fanjita only do updates like once a week.. so he wouldnt tell us even if its mid-day. We have to wait but for sure its a joke.. why would ditch us (2.01-2.60) for the crappy 3.0 firmware that even't exist yet. Even if it does.. only sony people would have access. just like any other firnwares.

To all of you who are insulting these guys, LAY OFF. If it's serious, well they picked a terrible day to make the announcement. If not, I know I'd sure be pissed to see this kind of reaction from the same public that ranted and raved about how good the work was.

It is sad that SONY is making it so hard to allow homebrew. They couldn't be losing THAT much money over the whole ordeal :-S . But On the other hand. it would be fair that Gizmodo gets some homebrew. Maybe then SONY will realize how much of a mistake it is to disallow it when Gizmodo sells more product than them . I'm a SONY fan and all, but I also believe in doing whatever I want with what I buy. So, in short if it's a joke Fanjita then I guess ya got me good :P. If it's true, then good luck on the Gizmodo.

» I knew it and I was right

Worker of sony speaking again , in one of the posts that was a week ago there was something about Nvidia contract and in addition I told you that 3.0 is almost impossible to crack and I told you the reason , somehow we heard at our offices that when the update is done the previous codes are rewritten in a way that the psp is not bricked but makes it impossible to load an iso even with future technology but we've heard that it can run homebrew but it is almost impossible to make an e-loader for 3.0 with present software , yet I don't beleive that sony CEO sent a copy of firmware version 3.0 because it's still in developing process and sendidng unfinished work can easily be experimented with to make any hacks to it so sony wouldn't do that , yes , this is a joke done by fanjita and we can guarantee there is no way of getting any leeked copies of the new firmware bacause it's still in development and it's not done yet and won't be done before May ( and may even take up to 4 months ).

Fanjita thinks he is the most important person in the world. The only thing that is bigger than his ego is his Gizmondo carrying case. I don't care whether he goes or stays because anyone who has to make a big announcement about something like this thinks way too much of themselves. I have more respect for people like MPH who has done alot but does not make a whole big deal about anything. Fanjita has done alot for Psp homebrew but he is not GOD. As far as I am concerned I do not care whether he goes or stays because this is exactly what is wrong with the Psp scene. Fanjita thinks he is the Psp scene. Goodbye.
