Homebrew coder says goodbye; leaves SRC and binaries behind

Homebrew coder pj1115 dropped by QJ Forums today and released a collection of homebrews, including full source codes – just ready to be compiled with the PSPSDK. As much as this sounds great and exciting, this isn’t entirely a good day for the community. Because you see, pj1115 is saying goodbye to us all.

According to the homebrew developer, his depression has escalated as of late and he feels the need to get away. It should be remembered that he has done this before, leaving the scene, but pj1115 mentioned that this time is for good. He lamented,

The biggest and saddest reason is the scene. Still glorious as always, though it now lacks the excitement and the triumph you felt waiting for something groundbreaking or using it. Back in the day of 1.50, in the day of 2.50, and in the day of crude, cheerful homebrew. We’ve come too far, is the bottom line. I don’t mean to be a killjoy, but the scene is wilting, and that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

So there. He said his goodbye and left the community some of his precious works. It is now up to you to say your farewell to pj1115. Below is a summary of the compilation and we here at QJ hope that whoever will pick them up, will cherish the applications and remember pj1115 every step of the way.

• PSPG (PSPGuides) – Spent a really long time making them, but Google deleted them and I had to go through an unbelievable amount of trouble to get the files. HTML format. A little outdated (goes as far as 3.02, so Devhook, firmware and custom firmware history, downgraders, etc are out of date).
• HideMedia BETA II(FIX) – The fixed version of BETA II, which caused some reversable ‘damage’ to the MS’s folders. Everything works fine now, or so it should. Includes full source. If you encountered this, use my fixer HERE.
• FirmwareAutoBooter – You may not have met this, but I it fashioned a while ago, borrowing some code here-and-there from the open-source SXT’s BFM. It’s a firmware loader, designed for 1.00 debug, with no GUI, so it’s cool if you set it to autoboot in OE. You’ll boot straight into the emulated XMB. Full source included.
• HTML Sound Hack + Flasher – My HTML sound hack’s latest build, as well as the source code for the flasher. If you didn’t see this, it allowed you to modify the PSP’s default browser sounds (ie, for the menu). I don’t think it works about firmware 3.03 since Sony re-organised the files. HTMLviewer.snd no longer exists.
• Outa-Space PSP – My flash0 space free-ing application. Full source included, as well as some tips for further development (in the main.c).
• PSP3D.com Official XMB Theme + Flasher – I suspect that few of you will be interested in the actual theme (which is outdated and incomplete anyway), though the source code for the flasher is included.
