R.I.P. UMD Emulator, we barely knew ye…
Gary13579 | October 29, 2005
Today is a very sad day for the PSP scene. Humma Kavula has stated that he has stopped production of all programs on all systems, and this includes the beloved UMD Emulator.
Here is his statement
Hi everyone …
long time no talk, and this will even be the last from my side, just came here to inform you peeps … i completely dropped dev’ing on PSP for personal reasons, infact my PSP is already packed and stored deep in one of my boxes of unuseful hardware somewhere … after about 2 decades of coding on everything which has a CPU inside i completely stopped it for now, because i cant find any thrill in it anymore … i wish all people good luck which keep the dev’ing up and running, especially the lowlevel seekers, may the right bits be with you …
- R.I.P. Loader - R.I.P. Humma Kavula -
I will miss you a lot Humma, but if you are going to leave, then I thank you so much for everything you have already done.
To anyone who says “Humma sucks, he can’t make another update so he quit” or anything else along these lines, I will try my hardest to get you banned. This is a place to say good bye, NOT to flame.







Rest in Peace, angel warrior of the PSP-Dev scene.RIP
Thanks For Everything. I know how it is when you lose instrest in something.. Stay Up..
thanks a lot for UMD Emulator, have fun and i hope you find something with a new thrill.
By the way, is he planning to release the source so the work can be continued?
Rest in Peace Humma, you were all for me
The psp scene is doomed, dooomed i tells ya
…
i will truly miss the umd emulator now i will truly have nothin to do after work any more.R.I.P. Humma good luck with what ever you are going to do.
thanks you for everything. Please release source so others could continue on with your legacy. You are the legend.
good bye
4# He is not dead after all :D
Aw… I wonder how old he really was? OR I mean how old he really IS… Lets not talk in past tense please :P And hey, the UMD Emulator did not go anywhere, the updating just stopped, at least by humma, someone else maybe can continue..? Who knows
wow, that really sucks. i wish he’d still code at least one more UMD Emulator, one capable of playing GTA, but you know what he still r0xx0r. R.1.P l337 h4×0r.
Dear hUMMA! Großartige Arbeit-wie du sagst über Jahrzehnte. I just want say bIG thX
Thanks for all you have done. =)
#12, your an idiot. at the beginning, when you first get good at something (in this case coding), you are motivated to make programs and show off your skill, but after a while…it gets boring and you get sick of making updates to a program just to hear shit from people like you. yelling at him saying “i cant get this crappy program to work”. this is typically how open source projects work, but in this case we have no source. so all i can say is #12, if you want something, make it your fuckin self or just shutup. no1 gets paid to do this, they do it in THEIR free time.
My dear #12 you will get banned not from here but from this website …
Many many thanks Humma !!! Thread closed on maxconsole so i have to thank you here, hope u will read this… Sony can thank u a lot too cuz u have boosted worldwide Psp sales…
AngryPSP: I have no words for how retarded I find that reasoning. Well, maybe two: Ungrateful #¤&#@!
Humma did a great job, and if you read the statement, you can clearly see that he quit coding for personal reasons… NOT because of the “PSP community”. God damn it… he was doing this for free. How can you blame him for stopping, if he doesn’t want to do it anymore? Everything he has done is a personal favour to each and one of us who have used his programs.
WE OWE HIM, BIG TIME. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
I still hope he will release the source though….
I love how people think they deserve other people’s work for free. By the way #12 what have you done for the scene? oh ya nothing, sorry for asking.
Thanks for everything! R.I.P.
You have blessed us all with many many hours of gaming. Thank you for all your hard work. All of us here appreciate it, and dont listen to those stupid fucks like #12, may his psp get bricked.
Thanks Humma, I really appreciate all you did. Best of luck in whatever you do.
Damn Humma, i was really looking forward to your work,you were or i mean you are the best out there….we need you man!!!Don’t stay away too long just consider yourself as talking a breather ok,we all hope to hear from you again soon. Best of luck to ya but come back to the scene guy.
Humma Kavula we sure miss you m8. Delivered by the gods and taken by the hands of fate. You where a friend a comrate and inspiration to our cause.
RIP
Is the umd emulator source avaliable?
Thanks and RIP
u had a good run man. tho i never used the emu. things said about it werre nuthing but good. so thank you and goodbye
#12, your a FUCKING idiot. maybe its something else, he said it was personal reasons as well. Damn another good programmer left the scene. I wish you best of luck. BTW, can someone request the source code for all his projects, so we can continue his legacy?
awww this news sux, thx for your hard work fellah
Thank you Humma and good luck.
now i have a good reason to kill myself, theres no hope for the future, but couldnt there be thrill in the challenge of gettin past the protection of GTA i mean to me that seams a reasonable enough challenge, maybe some thrill
Who is this guy??
It sounds like this guys so good, i think he should try 2 make his own firmware update like a combonation of v1.5 and v2.0 so it will have internet and play homebrew. But thats if he’s so bored.
omg dude. you acted like he died. Big deal. Someone else can just mod his already made programs and can keep this going.
thanks for all the work you’ve put in up till now, and best of luck in the future!
Thanks again Humma, you’ve done a great job.
As I’ve mentioned before, it would be great for the scene if you would release your source code now that you will not be doing any further development on it. That would be a very generous and welcome gesture. Thanks.
R.I.P. Humma thanxs for all the great work. Hope you find the thrill your looking for.
thank for your hacking
Good Luck
as said above, thanks for everything.
please release the source so that we can move forward without you.
RIP.
interesting how this news hasnt been posted on any other site so far
number is the kind of person that deserves to FUCKING DIE AND ROT IN HELL FOREVER. What a fucking douche can if u think homebrew is gay then why the fuck are u here!
#42 because I’m from Sony and I think this Website needs shut down.
Thank you for all of your contributions to the scene. You will be missed.
I too know what its like. I’ve been programming for a little while (sadly I haven’t had time to learn the psp hardware) but I’ve pretty much lost interest in coding too.
Find something new you enjoy. You’ll always be able to program again if the interest comes back.
Take care.
Guys this is fake!!!! its just the mods from maxconsole making fake post about humma….ITS NOT HUMMA AND NO HE DID NOT GIVE UP! #43 F YOU biatch
Alright fine if you really want this site shut down!!
Great job Humma Kavula have done for the PSP owner. Thanks for your effort and take care.
“after a game of chess, the king and pawn is put in to the same box”
#46 bisnicks get a life dude
home boy, if you are from sony, you are mad unbusiness-like, and should know by now that these guys know what they’re doing and stopping one site, ten sites, a hundred sites, you’re still losing. |_|53 73|-| P5P 70 175 |_1|\/|17!!! R.I.P. HUMMA, may his crazy skills continue on
We are FUCKED.
I’d also like to say, Humma, if you’re reading this, thanks for what you did for the PSP scene. Hopefully its in your blood and you decide to contribute to the scene again someday. Best of luck.
good work on everything humma. i hope many more great coders like yourself continue work along these lines enabling us to steal games lol :)
thanks for ur work so far, and i hope u allow someone to continue it.
good luck with watever u do next and may the umd emulator 0.8 live on in my memory stick :D
thx
#42, if you are indeed from $ony, then help us out with this GTA situation! Bitch. Shit, while we’re at it, I am from $ony too!
Come on humma. We all love your umd emulater. I was really hoping that you owuld make a GTA emulater but now those dreams are smashed.
Humma Kavula THNX MAN 4 every UMD Emulator.. You don’t have 2 give up. There is a thrill 2 let the game GTA play on 1.50. Hmm.Thnx anyway.
Humma, I hardly knew ya, but thanks for what you gave to the community. Also,I’m glad it’s personal reasons and not jail time, man ;) It’s people like you, in my opinion, that keep these PSPs interesting :D It’s too bad you have no interest in homebrew games, because I enjoy trying out all the new games. I guess it’s the origianlity factor there :P Anyway man, good luck to ya man. And if you come back, I’m sure people won’t mind a bit about the personal reason ;) :)
Please ask him sources for us (make it open source ?) or give me his mail. I would like to contact him. I am volonteer for continuing his software assuming all consequences. Thanks
We are doomed . Sell your psp’s ;). THN humma !!!
Humma sucks, he can’t make another update so he quit.
:P
Thanks for every thing you have done and every one whishes you the best.We just hope you will sart doing it agin someday.
Best whishes from the psp-hacks community-Talesfromthedark
ok you guys are fucking idiots its obvious he was working with sony to ge the psp off the ground .. so they sacrafice the first bunch of games (most of them were crappy be honest..) now the big games come out and he quits .. I give love and respect to H.K. if im wrong but if not … we have all been duped… just stop and look at the outcome Sony wants to make a mass release they seen what pirated systems did for the xbox so they work it out with their head programmers to make a booter till the sales get rocking then upgrade that no one can crack and the only guy out of 500000 ppl quits … sounds too convienient … at least im not fooled … HE was working with sony … out of 500000 programmers only he was able to make a diecent working product … get real and open your eyes … you can ban me for saying my mind but isint that freedom or speach after all … so now enjoy your psp and 30 + games and now that everyone bought one ….HAHAH you have to do a mysterious upgrade and buy the original game ….and Sony wins. you bought the psp and now your forced to have to buy the originals GOOD ONE SONY :) GO AHEAD HUMMA PROVE ME WRONG AND RELEASE YOUR SORCE CODE… HAHAH BET YOU DON’T
love 2 da scene KW
thank you for what you done before, you already give us many interest time on psp
Dude, just know that we all appreciate your work and that you’ll be missed
psp is gay, and sucks balls, im going to go buy a popstation
and a sandwich
and a coke…
yo good work man . Its been damm good.
Hey everyone this is aimed at all of you. You got to try and look outside the box for a bit.
All we know is that he just suddenly announced that he is stopping his deving on psp’s. For what reason . For personal ones and that he lost his “thrill” in it.
Well it just doens sound right. All the time you were doing this hobby and now suddenly BAMM full stop. I Tell ya all that aint right. All people who have hobbies as such wouldnt just find a certain time like now and say ” hey how about i quit right now”. No its a long processes . People usually programm less and less till they quit (and maybe even start coding later again).
For me this situation could have many reasons. Maybe he got in trouble with Sony and had to make a deal that he will quit (maybe getting some money from them). I know this sounds bloody stupid . But hell i have seen it happening to 3 communites similiar to this. 2 of them were forced that they died in a car accident. and 1 of them had to make up that all his back ups and hard disks got erased by mistake. Well everyone on the community was also like R,I,P blah blah. Sorry i cant mention the communites though.
_____
well ofcourse he might be tellin the truth . but that was just my thoughts . maybe coz i know from personal experience.
please dont flame me
And Humma . respect for ur great work man
No Humma the LEGEND UBER EPIC PSP UMD emulator member quit, DAMN!!! that suck, good luck what you want to do, no one can force the path you want to go, SALUTE!!! =D
damn it…. stop this is FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeah great work humma wow i thank you for all the money you’ve save me…but guys he is not gone!…its just lies from maxconsole because they are tired of ppl asking for humma and about humma so just stop it!

Seriously tho. your work has been a great contribution, thanks you ever so much.
^67
“2 of them were forced that they died in a car accident.”
I meant to say that ” 2 of them were forced to SAY that they died”. In both cases a really good friend reported that they died
good bye and good night umd emulator
MASSAGE FOR HUMMA : CAN YOU SEND YOUR PSP FOR ME ,INSTEAD PUT IT ON THE BOX.
I HOPE YOUR NOT GO TO WAR …
better off without him. that way at least sony wont threaten our precious homebrew
75, shut up. He was an awesome coder, and he made a great UMD emu. And all you folks wo are all like “BAH! HE SUCKS! HE’S TEH GHEY!” i say go **** yourself. Besides, let’s start focusing on 2.0 homebrew! That way we won’t need a fancy program to play GTA.
Humma *cry* i love u *sob* good by and good luck *snif*
SOOOO LONG…………
This is for you man…..
Here lies Humma
I wrote this on his Tomba
Humma,
Thank you soo very much!You will be missed,but never forgoten!You are a legend in your own right.I don’t care what the reason is that you’re leaving.It’s your life and you are responsible for your own happiness.Good luck in all your endevors.Ever think of giving teaching a try?If you ever do I would be honored to be a student.So,farewell good friend and good luck!We will all certainly miss you.
Humma sucks, he can’t make another update so he quit.
bye bye umd emulator 0.9? bye bye GTA
what a disapointment. oh well, move on
FOR ALL THOSE SAYING HUMMA LEFT I HIGHLY DOUBT SOMEONE THROWS AWAY YEARS OF PROGRAMMING RANDOMLY. THIS IS PROBABLY SOMETHING TO JUST SCARE US INTO BELIEVING SONY EITHER PAID HIM OFF, OR JUST TO STOP PEOPLE FROM SAYING STUFF LIKE “HUMMA WE NEED AN UPDATE” I BET HE WILL RELEASE A NEW VERSION, AND I THINK MAXCONSOLE JUST DID THIS CAUSE THEY GOT A TIRED OF ALL OF THE THREADS ABOUT HUMMA, I MEAN LOOK HOW FAST IT SPREAD ON ALL OF THESE WEBSITES!!!
DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR!!!
Good bye Humma and thanks for everything. We will miss you.
damn it…. stop this is FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeah great work humma wow i thank you for all the money you’ve save me…but guys he is not gone!…its just lies from maxconsole because they are tired of ppl asking for humma and about humma so just stop it!
THIS IS ONLY A BUNCH OF BULLSH*T FROM MAXCONSOLE BIG F-YOU MAX!
All I can say is humma was amazing. always had the top shit out. whether he’s gone or not will be speculated about, but if he really is gone *sniff* then I wish him/you good luck in all future endeavors. thanks humma
Farewell. Sucks that you cant get your jollies off coding anymore. Hope you find a new hobbie, and inspire/help people the way you did with us.
Humma TRAITOR, he got hire by sony, now sony going to own our hackers F**K!!! DAMN YOU!!! HOW could this be happening NNNNnnnnnooo!!!!! DON”T LEAVE US HUMMA!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! COME BACK!! DON”T SPRUNG!!! =*(
#58 ARE you really that ignorant. danm you should be on csi.
To anyone who says “Humma sucks, he can’t make another update so he quit” or anything else along these lines, I will try my hardest to get you banned. This is a place to say good bye, NOT to flame.
Show some real news on the site! Go ahead and ban away this site is so slow on posting news! Its just sad…
Another thing whO gives a shit if he quit’s? Live goes ON………………..
Ps “Humma sucks, he can’t make another update so he quit”
Fuck’in noob
dude, can i have your psp?
58, that actually makes sense. Actually LCS flopped too. so where are all these good games?
Well that just stinks. I hope someone makes a patch so gta will run on 1.5 . Maybe a program that fucks with the firmware so it can p
