Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene

When it comes to PSP homebrew heroes, few names measure up to the same level as Dark-AleX. In fact, for every new major brew released, there's a mention of the great developer here and there. He hasn't been active for the longest time, but in an interview with PSP-fanatik, Dark-AleX.org webmaster and m33 member Alek shares that the brewmaster still keeps an eye on the homebrew community, including that of the PS3.

If you're wondering where the DaX is right now and what he's doing, Alek gives an answer without getting too specific. "Actually, and as you might know, the domain and website is under undefined maintenance," he said. "This is because Dark-AleX is resting, also undefinedly, from his developer activity, due to his new responsabilities. Having that in mind, there is no improvements in mind for
the future."

Alek did not mention what these "new responsibilities" were.

As far as the PSP homebrew scene is concerned, it doesn't appear that Alek is very impressed with the developments since m33 was still active.

Dark-AleX was one of the only ones that could make any real job on the PSP Scene, and the rest of those so-called developers were just copying his job, and changing names. You can see how this is as there hasn’t been any major revision of the CFW since he left. And that’s sad.

Also, it doesn’t seems that anyone has actually learnt anything from what we have left behind, as piracy is still a curse that is needed to be eradicated, and ‘fame’ is something too juicy for some people to forget about.

DaX's inactivity, as Alek believes, has left the PSP scene dry.

Until someone actually codes something new instead of copying what was Dark-AleX job and makes a new core for the new firmwares, yes, the Scene will be dead.

As for the emerging PS3 scene, Dark-AleX may not be active, but he's still keeping himself updated. "Actually, we’ve grabbed some popcorns and we are watching how this movie is evolving," Alek said. "We’ll have to see what happens on the next months." That, of course, is not to say that Dark-AleX is coming out of the dark to work on the PS3.

As Alek put it:

Considering all that we have said before, I’d hope that there will be something that will unleash, again, the power of this console, even though we still need to see some real action of the actual developers, reversing and making the real deal here, creating a new CFW core from scratch just as Alex used to do when Sony changed the encryption keys and so on.

Thanks pentagram!

The PSP homebrew community isn't as it was before when D-A was still active, since he moved out fakers decide to troll and do all sorts of scams.

I don't miss Dark Alex, but PSP needs a new CFW that is actually improved and not just to play pirate games.

D-A wasn't capable of hacking PS3 so who cares, someone else already started and a permanent CFW for PS3 is probably coming.

The method to start up with PS3 hacked is easy but doing it every time gets annoying.

PS3 could've had a stand-by mode instead of only shut-down.

Ok, Dude I don't understand you if you don't miss DaX why you're asking for a CFW, I don't understand. Another thing about PS3, the CFW for it, is not permanent, ok. If Dark Alex were able to do the CFW on the PS3, were stable and reliable. So don't get confused. And anybody needs time to rest, so right now he's resting, watching a lot of people copying his creations and messing with a lot of peoples psps.
So try to give credit to the person who create M33 and that's DARK ALEX.

+1 # PS3 CWF — Tycool959 2010-10-05 00:09

ouhhh Your Kinda late.
Geohotz Was making a CWF. Then sony Probz told him to stfu ...
Cause alot of things are happenning to people going to jail and shit cause of the ps3 being hacked.
Go to www.ps3-hacks.com
and goo back since the beginng of 2010. Start from there... ok you will understand..

# RE: PS3 CWF — jackstraw419 2010-10-05 08:28

Your full of shit. Who went to jail for hacking a PS3?

+1 # No ones gone to jail. — Tycool960 2010-10-05 12:01

If you can make a CFW using Open SDK tools (not the official sony SDK) then you cannot go to jail or get in trouble because your not using a copywritten SDK from sony.

goto www.Google.com & search "Tycool959 is retarded" & go back to the start of time... ok you will understand.

+1 # RE: PS3 CWF — The Snk Freak 2010-10-05 15:52

Fisrt of all I read about it, but did he make it stable, well let me think about it....NO.
And I haven't heard of people going to jail because they hacked their systems. They can sue for a large sum of money or give the chance to work with them but put you in jail, I don't think so.

Dark Alex - giving us a lecture from the dark side.. shut up and code - if you won't then just go away and go away properly, you cock-tease.

+9 # Idiot. — Doublehawk 2010-10-04 23:19

Its people like you that make the homebrew scene look unappealing to developers. How about you pick up a fucking book or two, and code yourself, since you seem to be so much higher on the food chain then DaX.

Well sQuoting Doublehawk:

how right that is. Alek and DAX both have given a lot to the homebrew community. And both of them also have something called "a life". I can't stand people like this kid here who only know how to complain.

# RE: RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Azariel_z 2010-10-05 04:36

I think eh did enough, and gave enough, let the guy take a rest.... anyway, there is no games worth playing on PSP... new ones are lame, but old PSX and Emulators work good.

+11 # Yep — dennis96411 2010-10-04 17:28

The PSP homebrews are definitely dead, there are absolutely nothing to do on the PSP anymore except playing SOCOM FTB2 for me. Man, no one has made a 6.00 CFW yet. What's the matter GEN? No more Dark Alex's codes to steal?

+1 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Techni 2010-10-04 17:49

He could help out.
I've been stuck on 5.00 M33 6 for I don't know how long. I have to hack every new game I buy before I can play it.

PSP Go is begging for his brilliance. Mine is a glorified PSP demo and PS1 machine

-1 # RE: RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — PS3 Owner1 2010-10-04 19:34

Not even D-A would make PSPgo look or feel good, because it's an awful gaming gadget.

+5 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Stewies 2010-10-04 18:09

When DaX left the scene, I left the scene. I'm sure a lot of other owners of the PSP-1000/some PSP-2000 left as well, whether they were devs of homebrew or not.

Exploits were found, with the tradtional "Hello World" test to the eventual development of CFW cores.
Homebrewers were abundant with apps like iRShell and usbHost.

Sure the scene is nothing what it used to be, but it's sad to see nobody was inspired to code after Dax left and that most homebrewers just ripped off code of his work.

I haven't touched my PSP in 2 years and it's still on DaX last update: 5.00 M33-6

As usual,

Blast!
What the deuce!
Victory is mine!

+4 # DaX is Right — rapturestar 2010-10-04 18:20

There has been no new CFW since 5.0 after he disappeared. When he was around for CFW, we were getting further into homebrew. Now it is all about 5.0 M-33 & Homebrew Loaders.
As for the PS3 homebrew community, it is coming along slowly & better than it used to be. Especially before the "GeoHot" forcing the OtherOS removal. If Dark Alex were to touch the PS3, I wouldn't be surprise the Sony FW would fail on encryptions.

+5 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — TheReaper 2010-10-04 18:40

had over 3 psp's.. all with 5.00 m336 on them... his fw was stable and always reliable... have not used my psp's in more then a year and a half...

# :p — haragog1 2010-10-04 18:56

Yep mine is still on 5.00 M33-6! I really wanted remote/Remote Play..but M33 is M33!

I guess it wasn't anybody's fault that the psp died, but the demise of M33 cfw! Most everybody stopped messing with their psp after DA's demise!

+1 # how — fearlubu 2010-10-04 19:00

obvious was this?

+3 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — aperson2 2010-10-04 19:02

He was great, but once he stopped updating his firmware I gave up and went official. Lost emulators and homebrew but pfft, the ability to play the latest games without butchering apart ISO's was welcomed.

It's funny. With money comes laziness. I just bought all the PS1 games I had previously ripped myself and moved on.

What I didn't like about the post-M33 days was how inconsistent and scattered the "next big CFW" was. Was there one? I don't even remember it was that unimportant.

Once the PSP2 is out and playing my PSP1 UMDs, I'll probably mod my PSP-2000 back to M33 just for portable emulation.

"Nigerian" Alex should work on PS3 homebrew.

+2 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Canadian1309 2010-10-04 19:07

I hate to sound like most people, but I want to help, just dont have programming experience.
That will of course change soon tho but I wont be able to be on the scene for a few years and I'm sure by then the psp will be history. That, literally, is the only reason Im excited for psp2 because it will be a fresh start for not only myself but many new developers that have jumped on this sinking boat in the last year.
I hope to see Dark Alex there too; it will be a new frontier so to speak.

-4 # ... — symbal 2010-10-04 19:58

I'm confused¿ Exactly what benefits would a 6.xx cfw bring? Does it include some miraculous new SDK to make homebrew twice as good? Or are people just having a good whine because they just don't want to admit the Psp HB scene is just heading the way of the Xbox 1 and slowly flushing down the sh*tter.

+2 # RE: ... — coolyo 2010-10-04 20:32

xbox fanboy alert!!

+2 # RE: ... — aperson2 2010-10-04 21:14

Symbal, your name doesn't ring a bell so I don't know if you're one of the trolls here.

However the homebrew scene for the original Xbox was very popular. I'm not sure what you're getting at, unless you're being sarcastic and saying "the PSP homebrew scene is getting as good as the original XBox".

Xbox Media Centre. A system so good Microsoft took notes and built a similar system for the 360.

+1 # RE: RE: ... — symbal 2010-10-04 21:49

What i mean is Xbox homebrew was good and plentifull, then it started drying up after a few years and now barely exists and Psp's going the same way and there's no XDK or lack of updated Cfw to blame, it's just that homebrew on every system has dried up a lot the last few years so without all the extra interfaces(touc hscreen, motion, camera etc.) will be near the bottom of the list when homebrew developers are looking for something interesting, so Dark_Alex coming back would make zero difference to Psp except give people someone to worship.

# RE: RE: RE: ... — But Fukir 2010-10-05 06:34

I sure with that xbox wasn't so ugly or I would have gotten one.

The wizard's sure hacked that thing brilliantly.

I dont think there was much more for the xbox to do was there?

It had mame, psx, n64, all the 16bits, mugen, dashboards...

The PSP seems kind of in the same position for its capabilities IMO.

Pretty much does almost everything I can imagine needing it to do on batteries except for finally pushing daedalus through (if its really possible).

What else is really left to do?

-1 # why dax is needed — 1singur 2010-10-05 20:06

to me is obvious that people want dax back to be able to play the latest games wich require the latest firmware.
what i get from your post is that a homebrew that runs on a 6.oo cfw runs just as well on a 5.00 m33 cfw. wich is as true as it if. so the homebrew scene is not dying because dax retired. is dying because is dying. because people don't develop homebrews.
the only thing falling since dax left the scene is piracy.

+5 # Stil havent learned — Alex C 2010-10-04 20:06

Im amazed that people still haven't learned. DaX and Alek put so much into the psp scene and now all they get is "give me, give me, i need". Fuckin please. i bet between every single little whiny bitch on this site put together they still wuldn't be able to make something like team m33 or any other hacking team. I wont even mention what FW i h ave on my psp its irrelevant. With that said to all the HACKERS keep up the good work and take time for your friends and family keep hacking fun don't make it into a fruitless salve-labor. And for all u ingrates go fuck yourselves.

-1 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Fenrir 2010-10-04 20:32

Good on ya DaX. It sucks that the scene has left you bitter. He has a point, people are not trying to be original anymore just robbing others of their hard work and calling it their own. Most of the genuinely talented devs have given up on the scene. Too many people in it just for pirating and completely ungrateful for the contributions that have been made. Would be sweet to see him make a return or at least address all his fans instead of going through a 3rd party.

-1 # Shame — grapeb12 2010-10-04 20:53

what are you a fucking retard? m0skit0 n00b81 and Wololo are completely different people from DAX, so comparing them is irrelevant. what is relevant is that everyone you listed kicks your ass.

# RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — symbyosis 2010-10-04 20:55

the problem with any scene is that people become too dependent on the pioneers of that scene. in Xbox everyone 5000% depend on c4eva, iPhone, they depended on GeoHot and I think they still are because I am almost certain he found that PDF exploit in iPhone 3Gs/4 that no one patched, That guy Saurik who will not come up with an alternative to SHSH blobs, in PSP it was all DA, in Wii its Waninkoko..what's the pattern here? NO ONE ELSE CODES OTHER THAN THOSE GUYS. Then you hear about some dude that reworks something and all of a sudden he demands to be loved. Alex come back. I'm tired of non-6.xx CFWs. All these PSN Patches get patched by $ony

-1 # RE: RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — asiekierka 2010-10-05 11:04

What!? Waninkoko!? He is the lord of the piracy side of homebrew, without team twiizers and bushing he'd be NOTHING!

So in Wii it's more like bushing and the bunch

PS. Only pirates say it's Waninkoko as he did so much for them it's uncountable

-1 # Dax — INF 2010-10-04 21:03

I still have 5.00m33-6 installed on both of my psp's. I have never even installed a gen CFW even though I have a pandora battery. Because I know they are just fakers. I would love to see Dax come back but I'm sure it wont happen. My psp collects dust now. And that's a shame. Dax is the alpha and omega he created and destroyed the scene.

Dark alex came in at the right time. He worked and fully unlocked a Phat PSP that was pretty much hand wrapped for hackers(1.50) He didnt hack the PSP3000 or those cursed MOBO's so cant fully give him respect as the PSP god.

That's what I've been saying for ages. GEN can't make a CFW all they did was copy M33s work that's why there is no 6xxGEN.

Alright, DAX was AMAZING, I accept that.

But atleast theyre actually making cfw.

i don't get it.

i have gen prometheus-2, but i never thought it was shit and crappy.

you GEN h8ers,has it never come across your mind, that people are actually wasting their time 4 u lot to make new cfw.

you dont have to "butcher" iso's for them to work, just patch it with isotool.

also, you eve have to patch iso's on m33 as well, so why the h8ig on gen.

at least they are the only cfw releasers on the scene rite now.

DAX is gone, he gave all he could, and indeed, his cfw was quite stable.

but gen isnt that bad either give it a try ppl!!

-1 # PSP CFW — CF-105 2010-10-05 15:00

I would help if I was a better coder. But the stuff DAX has done is out of my league for now. I am working on learning here and there when I get some time. But it will be years before I could even begin to help.
DAX did inspire me to learn to code and I have slowly been learning.

I have never pirated a single PSP. I liked to make rips of my own discs since I used to carry them around but a couple of the UMD cases got wrecked. So now I carry them on mem stick. I buy the occasional PSP game, I am more of a console gamer than portable gamer though.

-1 # Fact. — TheOnlyFool 2010-10-05 16:55

For all those who seem to lack respect for the work of Dark Alex and the rest of the M33 team, One key fact on how one should be appreciative of team M33 is the amount of people that continue to use Their last released firmware (5.0M33, I still use it), and the amount of people that continue to make m33 compatible homebrew. A lot of work was put into m33 firmware, and its continued use is proof that it was created not for granted or to be discriminated about, but for people to enjoy.

A 1 day late comment lol

-1 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — slimpsp 2010-10-05 17:02

I guess Dax leaving was a good thing. Ever since he said he was'nt making a 6.00 CFW there's been too much "give me this" and "give me that" and "make new firmware already." Seriously, i would have left too if people were just begging for new CFW and not giving me any recognition for the hard i did.

-1 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — La popola 2010-10-05 17:55

HI THIS IS LA POPOLA MAKING A STATEMENT

I THINK DAX SHOULD JUS MAKE A 6.00M33 ALREADY ITS BEEN LIKE A YEAR WTF HOW DARE HE STOP MAKING CFW UGH

+3 # RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Shdwlink 2010-10-05 19:27

I lolz at everyone's comment about how DA CFW is stable. If you noticed, GEN just copied the code and decryption techniques over to 5.50 from 5.00. I've used GEN since it came out and I've had NO problems at all. No lags, no messed up FW options. nothing.

And to the people saying DA is everything, that's the kinda talk he DOESN'T want to hear. He wants other people to become like him, not worship him. If we twiddle our fingers hoping he would come back, then he sure as heck isn't going to come back. He wants us to see if we can code the way he did, not take what he did.

I myself looked into the PSP's programming. It's not easy, nor fun. But if there are dedicated people into the scene that are as smart as him (almost), then he may consider coming back. If all the devs today would band together instead of bickering over stealing crap, we could see a 6.xx CFW. We decrypted the game code, who's to say we can't go further. (although the game decryption I bet DA didn't like so much)

was it a coincidence that he left the scene as PSP2 were being speculated upon? is it my imagination that the great D-A is working for SONY on PSP2? hmmm, I do wonder...

since then dax and sony are good friends. money matters

Would not surprise me if it turns out Sony hired DAX for securing the PSP2.

I remember around 7 years ago someone hacked the website/intranet my workplace used. They offered the guy an option, prosecution or employment. AFAIK he's still working there. No better way of proving you're right for the job.

I still have "Dark-Alex" as my PSP's nickname....All hail DaX

# RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Iax 2010-10-07 22:45

I'm still using 5.00 m33-6, waiting for DaX for a new Release!

# RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Your mother 2010-10-08 12:36

This is considered news? Wow, the scene really is dead. Although never dead enough not to include some DAX ass kissing and hero worship. Zzzzz.

# RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — DCX6000 2010-10-08 14:25

DaX was the king of PSP hacking. His words are harsh, but it's true. I guess it's just a challenge to devs. I've never begged or wished for new CFW, but I think it's funny when someone does and has the audacity to call DaX an asshole. Ungratefulness. Will there ever be a new CFW? Who knows?

# we — Cornelisjuh 2010-10-09 11:55

102 Jumps in a few days. If this doesnt tell dax we need him... PSP scene is dead without him. You can also say dark_alex is the scene itself. When dark)alex was active, the community was too. I mis those times !

# He needs a challenge — AlexC 2010-10-10 19:11

I think (and this is pure speculation on my part), but i think DAX has become like a champion fighter without any contenders. Now don't get me wrong team gen is definitely a formidable team. but what i think DAX wants is form some no name team to come out of nowhere with a true, legit 6.00 or higher FW and say, "in your face, next move is yours". If that were to happen DAX would probably say "Oh a challenge nice lets do this" Why you might ask, because its fun to challenge each other amicably. I don't think that was the case with team gen

# CFW will rise again! — Cyraphin 2010-10-11 15:06

just thought i would share my 2cents, DaX did great things, no question there... but he is sick of ass pirate's stealing code and claiming it as their own ((COUGH gen COUGH)) I believe he now has a REAL job doing what he loves, programming. for who? idk or care, just as long as he is doing what he wants... thats what you assholes need to understand. it is HIS life to do whatever he wants, whether or not its coding the next CFW, or moving on to ps3 development... let him be you FUCKS... you think badgering is gonna wanna make him return, you must be smoking ass-hairs with crack sprinkles... im still happily running M33 5.00-6 with no errors a little fucking knowledge cant fix... im not a GEN hater, i tried it, bricked the psp, re flashed OFW and gave it to my cuz, and He cannot thank you enough GEN...

# When I think about what he's said... — Auron 2010-10-11 18:13

Based on what he's said so far, I think his reason for not continuing is that he sees no point-he wants CFW to enable homebrew but he dislikes how it enables piracy, so he feels like if he continues it will just further piracy more than anything else, causing more game developers to stop developing for the PSP. If he removes the ability to play ISOs/CSOs then people would complain. Then he left to see if things could get better on their own, but nobody's really been able to replicate what he could do, so he's decided to just move on. For him, creating more CFW would just mean ever-decreasing new PSP games, causing the PSP to die as a platform. Could it be that he thinks that NOT creating more CFW will preserve the PSP as a platform for games?

# heh — bbnovz 2010-10-27 09:25

lol no shit would you work knowing you make fuck all cash when other developers I.E make shitty games on iphone make more money then you lol fuk dat of course you wouldnt waste your time on working on psp games

# I know this is old — targus 2010-10-25 20:43

It seems like DAK is saying DAX is complaining that people are modding his homebrew to play the latest games... But isn't that like sony complaining that DAX is modding their software to play games and homebrew O.o....

# RE: Alek: DaX still watches the homebrew scene — Asd1 2010-10-29 21:14

all dax wants is new developers of the psp scene. you don't think Dax would just want to be the only psp cfw developer. he doesnt want anyone kissing his ass he wants people to make their own stuff now. people with cfw are big boys and should start coding like big boys. dont be like gen copying his codes.

# Supreme? — tpike1296 2011-06-23 08:58

DaX was a good coder, but he is also a human being. He left the scene for his own reasons, and probably hoped that he would inspire other groups to code for themselves. He is gone now, deal with it. I am using CFW 6.39 ME-5 without any issues. When (if) DaX returns, I may try his CFW (if he makes one). I am not going to wait until he makes one and just stay on m33. Get with the times, 6.XX firmware has been released, stop worshipping DaX and upgrade, or stop whining and stay on your 5.XX based CFW. I'm not saying DaX was not a good guy, but we can't expect him to drop everything and code for us. He probably has kids, or a job, or something. Let him live his life, and maybe he will return.
