Dark_Alex: Covered in UK’s Edge

Dark_AleX is in the news again, though this time, it’s not for making another ground-breaking homebrew (aww). Edge Magazine’s February and went into detail on the strange relationship homebrew devs and Sony have over the PSP.

This latest article, it focused on Dark_AleX’s contributions to homebrew development, mentioning his Christmas-released 3.02 OE-B custom firmware, which, allows users to play PSOne titles on their portable without having to wait for an official release from Sony.

They also reported Sony’s (traditional) stand on the homebrew scene, with a spokesperson saying “We are against piracy 100 percent and will continue to protect out intellectual property in all forms.” There you have it. On one hand, it’s the homebrew scene that constantly pushes the envelope on the PSP’s specs. On the other, Sony does legally own the unit, and hence having devs hacking into it is opening up a potential can of worms. The magazine photo’s right up there, so feel free to browse.
