mathieulh: That exploit wasn’t yours to release, Freeplay!
Looks like not all is well in the kingdom of PSP homebrew. And it involves no less than two of the loudest voices currently in the scene: mathieulh and Freeplay. Over at our forums, mathieulh calls out Freeplay for supposedly leaking the Mercury exploit, when the code of said exploit wasn’t his to begin with. More of the unfolding drama after the jump.

Over at our forums, mathieulh calls out Freeplay for supposedly leaking the Mercury exploit, when the code of said exploit wasn’t his to begin with. According to mathieulh, Freeplay has been warned not to release it, but that he went on head and did just that anyway. In doing so, he has therefore abused Fanjita‘s given trust, who originally gave Freeplay the access to his svn server.
The leaked exploit being referred to here would be the Mercury exploit released by FreePlay just yesterday. Oh how fast sweet things go sour.
Here, let me quote mathieulh on the matter:
Freeplay has been warned not to leak the Mercury exploit because the code simply isn’t his, he abused fanjita’s trust when fanjita gave freeplay an access to his svn server and freeplay tried every possible url variations until he found something. That something was the prometheus svn which had various exploits including the mercury one, all coded and ready for use. Basically Freeplay stole the exploit…
As a proof that I am not lying to you, or making this up, I will be now providing along this post the original mercury exploit and sources as they were in the original svn (after removing .svn folders for obvious reasons). Trust me, it saddens me to have to resort in doing so, unfortunately I do have no choice considering Freeplay leaked the game exploit to begin with…
And provide them, he did. There’s been quite an exchange that’s followed as the day unfolded, so why don’t you head to the Forums to check out this particular thread. It’s linked below.
