Fanjita taking five from the PSP scene/Happy day, he's gonna be a dad!

Posted May 6, 2007 at 6:21PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Development, News Tags: Fanjita, Noobz

Fanjita's latest hax: Fanjita 2.0 Beta!!! - Image 1

(a) Fanjita's recently announced via his blog that he's going to be "slowing down" on PSP development work. Or to quote him, "I won't be able to spend as much time on PSP projects as I would like for the near future."

(a).1. To clarify before an outburst of sorrow spams us, he's not leaving, m'kay? He had to drop by our forums to point it out. He's just not going to be as busy as before. But there are very good reasons for this.

(b) Reason #1 is he's going to be a dad! Congratulations, Fanjita! There's gotta be a cigar here somewhere (goes AFK and rummages through closets looking for a celebratory smoke - waitaminute, that's a bad idea...)...

Fanjita's confident that the rest of the Noobz team and the PSP scene will still manage to make great headway in the future, even with his reduced presence. But man, to be a dad, that feeling beats teh high score or teh hax.

At the same time, with that in mind, the veteran haxxor is looking to web design ventures to help support his growing family. One of his ventures happens to be involved with his wife's business: handmade greeting cards. Take up his invitation, visit August Design via that off-site link and browse around. Hey, it's going to be Mother's Day soon, you know.

Again, from all of us at QJ, all our best wishes for you and your family, Fanjita! And for everyone else in the scene: who wants to help us make PSP-shaped pacifiers for the little tyke?

Discuss, and celebrate the coming little bundle of joy: QJ PSP Development forum

# Congratulations ! — thugstation 2007-05-06 21:52

Dear Fanjita,

I really want to congratulate you with your newborn...

also thankyou for everything you have done for us till now.

We appreciate it man..

I'm looking forward to the day that you'll return to the psp scene...

Being a father.... it's magical.....you've got to experience it yourself.

God bless you and your family Fanjita.. ;)

@ all the selfish people and kids talking about downgraders and stuff? Hell people are you stupid?

How can u talk about something like that when it's totally NOT relevant here? immature kids grow up!

cause it's without respect for Fanjita..

# Congrats man! — Guest 2007-05-06 22:35

Congrats! I almost know how you feel. I'm gonna be an uncle and it feels GREAT!

So excited!

# Congratulations — Guest 2007-05-06 22:43

Congrats on the baby Fanjita! I wish you and your family all the best for the near future (and far future too)

# How about... — Guest 2007-05-06 23:01

"eLoader 1.0"

since that'll probably never be coming out, anyways ;)

# :p — Guest 2007-05-06 23:32

Well one of the comments was actually supposed to be ironic sarcasm directed at the first persons comments.

# ... — Guest 2007-05-07 01:07

congrats!

post on the name, lots of people want to know what you'll call her/him. including me.

# . — Guest 2007-05-07 01:18

Congrats!

# Congratulations — Guest 2007-05-07 01:49

I have a 3 year old who I don't get to see often. I love her dearly, more than my hacking talents, more then the PSP, more than anything. I congratulate you for all you have done for all of us. Without you, Dark_Alex, and many others, homebrew would never have been achieved.

I only wish that your new child will achieve great things as you and all the developers of homebrew have, whom have made countless games and apps for the PSP and other platforms, but most of all, make others happy as you yourselves have done.

You will be a great dad. To one of the founding fathers of homebrew *holds up drink* Here Here!!

# hahah — Guest 2007-05-07 01:59

this baby is the best "HOMEBREW" you have ever made, woooooooooooooo oooooooo hahah congrats

# congrads dad!!!! — Guest 2007-05-07 02:05

Hears to another generation of hackers and psp specialists that will continue their parents legacy in the future!!! I wonder if his/her first word will be 'homebrew"? lol

# woooooooo — Guest 2007-05-07 02:20

Congrats!! Do what you gotta do. Being a Dad comes first.

God Bless your family!

# No ! — Guest 2007-05-07 02:39

# idk — Guest 2007-05-08 05:16

Serves u right for upgrading noob.

Congrats fanjita, take as much time off as u need :P, i am sure the rest can continue work while u care for the baby :-)

# Fanjita Jr. — Guest 2007-05-08 07:24

I can see it now. Fanjita Jr. Willl be born with a PSP in his hands saying .... Dood get ur own ! LOL

Just a little humor for the spirit. Congratulations and maybe the best of the best be given to you and your family.

I say we should all chip in a dollar or 2 and buy him a set of baby clothes or even a toy for his kid. After all he has saved us much money on games. If it wasnt for him we would all be spending 60+ dollars on each game.

-Jay

# Congrats! — Guest 2007-05-08 07:34

Congratulations , i wish u good luck and lots of love, lol i just hope no one starts being selfish seeing as though now u have a lot on ur hands

for the idiots complaining for a 3.11 downgrader- shut ***** up and learn not to upgrade right now its probably physical impossible to make ur downgrader so just buy another psp

# heh — Guest 2007-05-13 08:51

Hey maybe in the future, the baby might get old enough to make a 20.5 downgrader for the PSP

+P Congrats fanjita!

Mama don't let your son grow up to be a nerd like his father
