Respected Russian hacking team M33 has confirmed that PSP custom firmware 3.71 M33 is now fully completed, but as a result of an internal group vote the team has decided to take a small break before releasing the updated firmware.
The team cited code stealers and disrespectful users as the main reason for not releasing the firmware at this time, presumably to teach these types of people a lesson.
[blockquote2] First, looking at how have things have come since we started our work,
we now know how might have felt other developers when there are much
other interests that don't benefit to the entire Scene. We all know
what we are talking about, and we will make our best to eradicate all
of this rotted side of the world in which we are nowadays, in the near
future.
Second, to teach a lesson. A mayor percentage of the PSP (and others)
Scene(s) has to think about what it has come into since there are lots
and lots of people that just want to steal money and attention when they
don't even deserve it. This has existed since the beggining, and this is,
clearly, to that hackers-wannabe that modify a couple of files and want
to be acclaimed as a God-like.
And third, to have fun looking at how all this lamers that steal codes
don't know what to do when there is no binaries or sources to modify ;-)
Ok, that last one was kidding a bit... but that doesn't mean that it's
not right [/blockquote2]
