Red Squirrel retires from PSP scene, moves to Wii, Linux, more
With Miriam bidding farewell to the PSP homebrew scene just a few days ago, we find ourselves with another well-known coder leaving the building. Red Squirrel of Alternative VSH Menu, RSPsar Dumper, and CTF Manager fame has announced that he will leave the PSP scene for good. *teardrops* His reasons for leaving may not be to the taste of some, but we’ll take it nonetheless. Here’s a toast to your legacy, Red Squirrel!

I first heard of this earlier, thanks to Mr_Shizzy via the forums, when I was posting that bit about the NoUMD Plugin, and it almost went by under the radar if it wasn’t for his heads up.
Here’s Red Squirrel‘s entire farewell post, dated January 15 – the day after Miriam’s announcement:
With this little post I say goodbye to PSP scene officially. The reasons are essentially three: first of all, I never have free time to spend for this console development, because of the study and a real life more chaotic and stressful, as well as interest turned to other platforms. Another reason is that I don’t touch a PSP from many months, an “interesting” game is not released from about a year in Europe… and then in PSP scene exists all you need, all has been coded, so I consider it as a “finished” and very very boring panorama. At the end, some things happened in PSP scene during last days deeply impressed me, because I understood (a more time again…) as the PSP scene is ill, with its “boss”, its “smarts” and its “lamers”.
For this and other reasons I officially annouce my retirement from the scene: there will be NO updates to my tools, so please stop to ask for them using my email address. I will continue with the development of tools for other platforms (Windows, WII, Linux, ecc…) and I will keep updated this my personal website, so stay tuned! 😉
Red Squirrel, if you’re reading this, do know that you will surely be missed. A toast to you, and godspeed!
Aside from Mr_Shizzy, we’re also giving a shout out to Sbrillion1 for prodding us via email!
