Homebrew coder says goodbye; leaves SRC and binaries behind |

Ó
Homebrew coder pj1115 dropped by QJ Forums today and released a collection of homebrews, including full source codes - just ready to be compiled with the PSPSDK. As much as this sounds great and exciting, this isn't entirely a good day for the community. Because you see, pj1115 is saying goodbye to us all.According to the homebrew developer, his depression has escalated as of late and he feels the need to get away. It should be remembered that he has done this before, leaving the scene, but pj1115 mentioned that this time is for good. He lamented,
The biggest and saddest reason is the scene. Still glorious as always, though it now lacks the excitement and the triumph you felt waiting for something groundbreaking or using it. Back in the day of 1.50, in the day of 2.50, and in the day of crude, cheerful homebrew. We've come too far, is the bottom line. I don't mean to be a killjoy, but the scene is wilting, and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
So there. He said his goodbye and left the community some of his precious works. It is now up to you to say your farewell to pj1115. Below is a summary of the compilation and we here at QJ hope that whoever will pick them up, will cherish the applications and remember pj1115 every step of the way.
- PSPG (PSPGuides) - Spent a really long time making them, but Google deleted them and I had to go through an unbelievable amount of trouble to get the files. HTML format. A little outdated (goes as far as 3.02, so Devhook, firmware and custom firmware history, downgraders, etc are out of date).
- HideMedia BETA II(FIX) - The fixed version of BETA II, which caused some reversable 'damage' to the MS's folders. Everything works fine now, or so it should. Includes full source. If you encountered this, use my fixer HERE.
- FirmwareAutoBooter - You may not have met this, but I it fashioned a while ago, borrowing some code here-and-there from the open-source SXT's BFM. It's a firmware loader, designed for 1.00 debug, with no GUI, so it's cool if you set it to autoboot in OE. You'll boot straight into the emulated XMB. Full source included.
- HTML Sound Hack + Flasher - My HTML sound hack's latest build, as well as the source code for the flasher. If you didn't see this, it allowed you to modify the PSP's default browser sounds (ie, for the menu). I don't think it works about firmware 3.03 since Sony re-organised the files. HTMLviewer.snd no longer exists.
- Outa-Space PSP - My flash0 space free-ing application. Full source included, as well as some tips for further development (in the main.c).
- PSP3D.com Official XMB Theme + Flasher - I suspect that few of you will be interested in the actual theme (which is outdated and incomplete anyway), though the source code for the flasher is included.

As I said, my depression recently turned sub-clinical, but the main reason is the scene itself. It's more the generation of hackers than anything else; mine has been and gone.
BTW watch this vid:

Usually there's a few lamers with the insensitive trolling comments.
Anyways, don't know who you are, or if I've ever even been affected by your programming, but best of luck with the depression.

" ยป lol hes depressed
i bet hes gonna kill himself"
Depression is nothing to laugh about. Particularly when you're someone like me - someone who has lost 3 family members to suicide. So STFU.

WTF, the best is yet to come!! The best, matured PSP games are around the corner, and piKey is about to redefined the homebrew approach. So it's wrong to quit at this time because the PSP's GOLDEN AGE is about to begin!!!
Besides I'll tell you something really exciting to work on :
3.11 DONWGRADER!!
I bet scores of psp users will wet their pants with that

p.s. good luck with your future endeavours, pj1115

And who's to say I won't come and work on the PSP2? If there's a calling, I may come back.
Nem is the guy I admire most. Forget the custom firmwares for a minute, forget the ISOs, forget the firmware launchers. The first step is always the most exciting, and Nem is the guy who made it happen. (Along with the PS2Dev guys). Props.
Anyway, back on topic. You may be discriminative inconsiderate f*ckers who have nothing better to do than to mock a mans' life and even it's very value.
Thanks alot to those who ARE supportive.

All that the home brew scene is now is a firmware update every month or two, then a new version of devhook will come out then a day after a new firmware is released , It will be decrypted By team c+d Then Dark_Alex will turn it into a custom firmware by the end of the week. And i don't like what QJ net are doing with all of there news , All that will usually get posted on PSP updates is news about the new releases of games by companies like sega , EA and Rock star . And thanks Pj115 for making homebrew

I myself am thanking you for your great work and great homebrews! Sad to see you go.

Some guy enjoyed screwing around with his PSP and got bored with it and moved on to something else.
Maybe he finally got a girlfriend.
You guys take yourselves way too seriously.

people who are mocking this are very disrespectful to not only pj1115 but it goes to show that very few are grateful for all that others do to give to us all like pj1115 has. SHAME on you! >:(
thanks again pj1115, just wanted to let you know that there ARE people who respect all you've done.
Farewell!

May I ask which one of those apps really changed the scene? I respect you for making a contribution, but you'll hardly be missed. I mean you make it sound like the scene will now die without you.
And what's the boring part? 3.30 ready to be hacked? Not like there still isn't a lot that can be done (like free VOIP extensions for one)...
Looks like someone is just craving attention... somehow I sense a gf isn't the reason you're too busy...
Some developers do become too legitimately busy with an actual life to work on homebrew like they'd like, but they don't leave a sob story...
I'll shed a tear if DarkAlex ever drops out but I'm sure we'll make due without you, but all the best....

I personally appreciate whatever contributions are made to the scene, however large or small, and it's always sad to see someone leave. Best of luck man, I hope you'll conquer your depression and one day return to the scene. Thanks.

I never said I had coded anything groundbreaking. If there had been an incentive, even something as small as a bit of gratitude from the end-users' (for even the smallest thing), I'm sure I could have worked harder.
I may have said the scene was wilting, but I sure as hell didn't say it wouldn't spring to life any time soon. And no, this isn't one of those things where I will be back any time soon.
I'm not even going to bother commenting again. I know for a fact that all I'll get is abuse and disrespect. Good luck to you all.
