It's a long time ago i know but the man who dropped the bomb on $ony and who started the scene all by himself is:
Humma Kavula (& Friends) author of umdemulator and fastloader
He's responsible for the fact that you can now play backups on your psp.
He retired soon after releasing umdemulator 0.8C.
But he was so kind to give Dark Alex the source, who later used it and further developed it as part of his cfw's.
And do not forget Booster author of devhook.
It's a magnificent achievement to crack a closed system.

Which cannot be said about editing source code and hex editing files
And nowadays wee have to be thankful for people like Wololo and friends and Liquidzigong.
Those people don't say much but deliver high quality

I have forgotten none of these heroes.    ;)

I was referring to the fact that DAX did an incredible job reverse engineering SONY's code.
And that information was later shared with Team GEN.  (By DAX himself)

I can't say I think any bad of Liquidzigong for keeping things alive.
It appeared GEN was all done.  And yoshihiro had announced "no more cfw from me"
I don't think Team GEN should act too infringed upon...
