i dont care if i'm first

Great news for developers ! :D

mixed feelings

we've all been in a x-flashless drought recently, and though flash agent works ok for me, being on 3.10 OE, i sorely miss my tried and true favorite. ha already another comment. i was first when i clicked. i think i speak for everyone here when i say "we want v19a!". make that "someday" tomorrow, please? i really miss your app, Art.

working?

this works for 3.10oea2?

dumbass.

No, It's the *****ing source code. Wow I didn't know people with DOWNS could operate a computer. (No offense)

Fantastic

It's great that the source is out. Art was an amazing dev, and his work shall be sorely missed, but at least other devs can pickup the reins. Heck, even I'll try to see if I can patch it for 3.10! @kyle: That was totally uncalled for. I agree that he was abit misguided, but that doesn't warrant at all that kind of language. If you said that on the forums you would be banned for sure.

Odd

I find it hard to see why many PSP developers dislike derivatives of their work (unless the modifier doesn't give credit). If you give credit to the original developer there shouldn't really be anything wrong with making improvements to another person's work when they supply the materials to do so. Oh well, it's his app, he can say what he likes.

Why?

Why would a person choose to run X-Flash or other Flashing app when you can Flash through the Recovery Menu of OE FW??

Derivative Works

It's because the same name will most likely be attached to the derivative work. Even if it is made clear that the work is by a different developer and credit is given to the original creator, if the derivative work is inferior, it has the potential to make the original developer look bad. It's the same logic behind defending trademarked names - if you were to buy a knockoff watch, but it was branded with another company's name, you may get the idea that that named company produces inferior products. I think Art's real concern is that people will release updates that don't function properly, and somehow he will get blamed for it. Never underestimate the power of people to make false assumptions.

Ease of use

Why would you use a GUI when you can use a command prompt? It's simply a matter of ease of use. Some people prefer apps that simply involve selecting an option through a menu, such as X-Flash.

my my

what you say is true for unproblematic things like PMP. but this app is for flashing and shouldnt be for bricking... also x-flash has a style of his own. this has nothing to do with function but with interfacing. its really the best ive seen for psp, and its arts style i would say. if you want to improve this, make your own app, include stuff from sourcecode, give credit, and have own interface and name. just my 2 cents, but its right!

..

X-flash was here long b4 OE....nd has alot more cool features if u have no idea wtf ur goin

Above remarks

The whole post was probably crap. I mean look at the username he used. Surely that's not his real email. Cause if it is, he should direct his insults to himself.

X-Flash

I was an avid user of X-flash also, but I have gotten used to the manual hacks. Although if it gets updated to include all of the new hacks, I would be all over it.
