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.

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.

#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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 ;) :)

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

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

I’m so happy that you have resigned your works. Most people would agree with me that hard times are motivation to do something. I was feeling Lazy just downloading all of these emulators and hacks that other people have created. what about me knowing how to create the code and understnad what it is that I’m doing?. Saying goodbye is hard, Props for being so insightful to your needs. God bless. Cummj@pdx.edu

I kinda of get the same feeling he does…Just that what I do with electroncs, albeit fun at first sut kinda seems like a waste of time. It has that now what feel, I figure the more an dmore complex it gets the better, but doing something more phiscal and has a product that isnt measurable in quality has a much more satisfying rresult. I wish i could stop all this computer crap…

Humma.. if your hanging the hat maybe it might be a good idea to pass the flame to another good friend who’s still in the scene?

May be a alternative to releasing the source to the public..

You’ve given so much to the PSP community, but holding on the source even though you dont even plan on using a PSP seems such a pity.

Cheers.

Thanks for all you’ve done Humma!

Just a thought… maybe SONY sent a head-hunter to hire him for big $$ to be head of their security team? Same happened to someone that did the same thing with HU cards with DirecTV. I know I would rather make lots of cash working legitimately for Sony than illegally hacking for free.

well at least someone is continuing Humma’s legacay as firmware 2.0 has been partially cracked!!

This is from a forum,

“Hi all,

I’ve done it… I’ve made it so you can rum UMD Emulator, select an ISO, 2.00 Firmware then runs.. And then you can boot the UMD!!!!!!

I know it’s running 2.00 because the gameboot.pmf that it play’s is the 2.00 version!!!!!!!

At he moment you can only load a UMD, don’t try to go on the internet or look at your saved data. Just go straight to UMD and press X!!!!!!

Here it is: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9MKY1Z2X

Humma must take credit because it involves UMD Emulator but i take the rest !

Hope you enjoy, maybe it can run GTA: LCS?!?

Lol, i was considering not up’ping it but then i thought..

” It’s not illegal.. It’s just a 2.0 Dump and UMD Emu 0.8c..” So i did!

If you dont want to emulate an ISO, instead of selecting Sys Menu etc.. select OFF on that part!

The readme tells you how to set it all up.. Just open the Emu 2.00 Folder and put all the folders, (F0, F1, PSP, UMDEMULATOR and ISO) on the root of your memory stick and then put an iso in he ISO folder if you’re gonna emulate an ISO!!! Or just leave it empty.

This ISN’T for pirate’s, it’s for people who wish to play BACKEDUP Iso’s or UMD’s without losing Homebrew…

NOTE: It may not work because i haven’t tested a UMD etc. that requires a certain codec like GTA… I’m still waiting for my GTA UMD to get to me from Ebay..”

When you really look at it, the PSP is a piece of garbage with sub par games not worth spending money on. Psps break so easily just like all the other sony products and i am just sick of sony and its bullshit. I will tho buy a playstation 3 and wait for it to break down as sooon as the warranty period is over just like my psx 2. My psp has broken twice in the 6months its been out and i would jus t like to dump the damn thing.
I respect Humma but i have no respect for Sony

Thanks you pushed the dev scene to its limits but know ur gone I fear the end is coming for homebrew. Maybe we should just leave versions 1.0 and 1.5 behind and look to the future. In the end sony will win, as they will do what they did with gta:LCS to all future games, except with higher firmware required. To put it briefly we cant beat sony. Homebrew was amazing while it lasted but i think its time to let it go.

Ppl will probs get angry at this, but I dnt care, as most of you know its true.

To end, big clap 4 Humma Kavula and the over developers.

i just found out about umd emulator and hummas today. my take on this situation is that he/she had a good run and gave you guys alot. Respect it and move on. Lastly, about GTA, buy the game for goodness sake. Rockstar gave us gta3,4,and 5, so just stop trippin about an iso version and buy the real copy. Peace out.

UMD Emulator 0.8c r0×0r. *RIP* Humma. (he’s not dead tho) hope sumone continues the UMD Emulator where he started, like add a firmware launcher (similar to SXT’s) built-in, to (possibly) play GTA. that would be 1337.
