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...

My opinion? 6.20 GEN will never be in existence. Now hear me out on this one.
ALL of GENS current work is based off of dark_alex's work. dark_alex quit. That's enough right there. but more evidence is they said they were gonna make a 6.XX cfw at least a year ago and have nothing to show for it. the website hasn't been updated in forever, and they havent even shown a glimpse of promise that what theyve been "working on" is a success besides a screenshot of the system information and a screenshot of the xmb. honestly all they had to do was take a screenshot of the xmb and system info on ofw 6.20. well anyway, think what you want, and if you want to chew me a new asshole, go ahead. that's just my honest opinion from what ive noticed.

EDIT: wow i said "honest" alot

But i don't think that prometheus based in anything like this exactly.It's a plugin.
Anyway i hope that with this 6.20 CFW wee will see finally a damn 1.50 kernel addon.

hahaha they meant 5.xx prometheus custom firmware, bro. its based off GEN

I know it's what I'm using until a 6.XX cfw is out (mostly because of the code cleanup from Sony in the 6.XX series, not for those useless Comics and SensMe apps, lol).

Given the recent updates in game encryption I think it's better to have a clean, no-frills cfw, and just patch the games. So this "Prometheus cfw" thing is pretty much useless to me, I think.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

It isn't useless at all. Wee just use a clean ISO and play without patching up things. Also people still buy UMDs and want to play them OTB without ripping and patching.
I enjoyed Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep like this.
