PSIX cancelled
Gary13579 | October 31, 2005
Even more bad news, with Humma retiring the other day, Naoneo (aka fluff) has officially posted that PSIX has been “temp-terminated”. I’ve known that he wasn’t working on it for a while, but it is very sad to see a project this good die.
Here is the statement from his site.
Psix project has been temp-terminated, neither me nor Qubitz have the time to maintain and work on the project at this time, may resume in the new year depending on what were up to then but no breath holding, additionally team xanxion has been dissolved, Dual Savours development has been halted and updates to this site will now cease, i have neither the time nor patience to deal with liars, untrustworthy assholes and blackmailers, to the testers that have the beta, feel free to leak it, it wont work on other peoples psp’s anyway.
Feel free to direct your hate mail to someonewhocares@somesite.comLater all, hope the homebrew scene doesn’t die while i’m gone.
If anyone here has the beta of PSIX, he has said you can leak it. If you email it to Gary13579-at-gmail.com, I will post it for anyone to attempt to hack it.
Update: Fluff (aka Naoneo) has posted on the PSPUpdates forums that he has not truly “cancelled”, more of postponed. He also mentioned a few reasons, which are pretty obvious.
Here’s his second statement
Right, you guys deserve a proper answer so here it is :
Ever since the last escapade with sage a few months back, i havent had the heart to continue with the project so much, qubitz and i decided to revamp the entire project in a way that would make the memory issues a thing of the past, starting with a powerful base engine we planned to refine every last bit of the shell, we started on that and exams time came for qubitz, since he wasnt around muich to code or discuss the project, i plodded on with the development guidelines writing up everything so we both had clear lines of where the project was to go, the older sources (the ones you can see from the video) were discarded, because although they worked, the code behind them was messy and poorly written, qubitz, who i will openly admit is a much better coder than myself, was to write the base, to which we would then both add code to, looking at each others submittions in the CVS branch so we would know fully where each other were, this worked well for a while but as i said, qubitz’s exams kicked in and we gradually stopped working on the project, and as such i finally decided to publicly announce a temporary termination on the development, not because psix is dead, or as most people will say “omg pulled a yoshi and running with the money!”, but so people wont sit there asking where it is when its obvious we both neither have the time nore patience to deal with it.
There are a small small handfull of people who have the 3 eboots from the older code (from the videos), one of which decided that because we didnt have time to work on the project, he’d email me asking “give me the source or i’ll leak the beta”, now really, i don’t give a crap about the old beta so if in the next few hours, or days, that old beta (which even i myself dont have anymore, all i ahve is the files from the CVS trunk), then do not judge psix by the quality of the beta, because the beta is slow, buggy as hell and incomplete.
Myself im unable to work on it much because i’ve been working overtime for various companies with design, the big christmas rush is always a stressfull sleepless time of the year, and when im looking at several design jobs to do just in one morning to give an example, then you can sort of picture how much time it gives me for the rest of the things i do.
I have alot of things to buy in the run up to christmas, partys to arrange, a bike that needs a servicing and engine rebuild, so any time i have free from working is either spent shopping or sleeping, i’m in my 20’s, i’m at the point in my life where its me that sorts out christmas and gets to be santa :P, i cant just sit back and enjoy it like i was nine years old again.
And as to why i don’t wish to release the source, 3 reasons ;
1) we’ve spent this long on it, we don’t want to give it up so freely
2) it would just create 20+ clones, just like what happened with LUA shells (lame)
3) I don’t want to wake up at some point next week to see Yoshi and SXT releasing “SXT-OS beta” and claiming “omg its all our code we just used fluffs idea!” :PLastly to point out again, psix is not dead, its just temp-terminated, we’ll be back to finnish it when we both have more time to work on it.
He has also decided to release an older beta source code, which you can download here
I haven’t tested it yet, but it looks like the same demo that was on the site ages ago (PSP OS, not PSIX).

what is hapening with coders and hakers?,they know we need them.This is very strange for me.
I’m guessing that it’s because everybody is flaming at every good coder. Jist like fot the Multi Theft Auto project on PC, everybody is flaming at the programmers. Personnally, I would just keep all the hacks I’d have done for myself. fluff was doing this on his sparetime, for fun, and see what he gets from this: ” have neither the time nor patience to deal with liars, untrustworthy assholes and blackmailers.” Come on, it’s obvious that the problem is not in the coders, it’s in the whole PSP-hacking community itself. You are all assholes, and because of you, we won’t have anymore good hack for the PSP.
^True but theirs not really much you can do about that. You can change yourself and maybe one person if your persuasive but theres no way well ever convert the commu nity its just the way we are. I guess we just sometimes forget that they are doing this on thier free time and have no obligation to any of us.
Just out of curiousity, what was PSIX?
PSIX was a shell, a replacement for the normal PSP main menu, where you have the video, music, photo, game, and settings tabs.
It made the PSP feel more like an actual operating system.
It looked really good :)
cant help but think that sony paid them off to quit.. wouldnt blame them.. all they got was crap for all their efforts..
oooo, i wana see the beta of it! anyway, i hate to say it like this, but there is the chance they quit cuz they just couldnt do it… thats what happens to a LOT of people when they work on long projects. Or they just got bored and wanted to spend their life doing normal stuff; like girls. :P thats why i have over 40 unfinished RPG Maker games
i got the beta but were to up it
“testers that have the beta, feel free to leak it, it wont work on other peoples psp’s anyway.”
do i smell fake?
its not a fake it real but it lock to the mac address of the beta testers psp
I’m a programmer and all these legends quitting has only encouraged me to keep programming and to do things for the psp, I only reliezed that I’m well versed in c++ so give it a month, i’ll post something fun, give it time and effort every good programmer who only sleeps for three hours a day will see the in the psp
i’m failing english
Im Failing Algerbra II with Trig…
#2 hahaha i pwned u phil in when i was in KFC, im Turbo X2…. back in the good old days of MTA….
I quit about half a year ago though… when KFC broke up and we turned to aa…. godd… It was all so stupid so i just left..
anyway the sucks soo much,,, this has to be the most anticipated hack for PSP….
We are Doooomed, :cry:
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
Now Sony Company will Laugh at us
What is psix anyway?
psp is poo, give up people. give in to the darkside, theres some brand new sshhiiinnyyy ds’s just waaaiiitin for you guys over here. coommee and get em. ha
bad news !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Somethings wrong with gmail, i can send the files to greg or gary. o well, you can all downlaod the source and eboots for the old beta from pspupdates
well maybe some people will be inspired to try them selfs and learn me for one would love to do it jus learning n like alot of hackers out there jus dont have the time anymore u should give them a break it was great while it lasted u should be greatful it happened at all…..
neva know some new people mite come along with even betta stuff ! jus neva know keep eyes out. Dean
Thats just terrible, another fine
project gone, btw what was psix anyway, lol
wot the point of saying another fine project gone when u dont even fuckign know wot it is…… :-\ some people, look at #5 and your find out
hey people,
can some body post a link for any version of that thing
beta or old maybe i can update it to a newer version cuz im a proggramer i knw alot of the c++ so i will try my best thnx,
i got gta lcs
I have barely started to mess around with the psp and i do have to say something. If it wasnt for people like them then we would never get some of the things that we have. In the end, we all have to thank the people who were willing to go that extra mile not only for us but for the good of all people who own a psp, and allow us people who dont know c++ to enjoy what programmers can do with technology.
Thanx guys
#14, I’m not the same Phil. I never played gta3 nor vice city. I’m a fansince the original gta, but I skipped 3 & vc.
hes going to be back soon. and if u look at the pic for the beta, it has an option to run iso’s! i just noticed also that this old 1 is available to run on the eboot loader for 2.0… this means that we can run iso’s on 2.0!!! EVentually we probably all upgrade to 2.0. i have because a hav gta and it needs 2.0 and many other good games are coming out for psp. just think of it… in a few months, he’ll be done the project because hes coming back maybe after the new year. you will be able to play gta, and run the old iso’s!
to #2 Phil: go to hell already. i hardly think any programmer worth his salt would give much of a thought to people flaming him. if there is flaming on this site, 9 times out of 10 it’s usually criticism of what doesn’t work. the other 1/10th of the time, it’s some dumbass on here trying to get a rise out of people like you. people bitch about programs being free and to take what you get; the thing you morons fail to realize is that a faulty program is hardly better than no program at all. true that the apps are free, but here’s the thing; THEY took on the responsibility of releasing apps, nobody spurred them on. tis their own damn fault if they fail to come up to snuff. you can bitch abou this all you want, but it needed to be said; flame on if you wish. that is all.
who cares wasnt going to use anyways
what’s a psp?
Is that some sort of psp or something?
lol fluff you fucking pussy bitch stop playing around and get back to work dammit! Gosh you’re such an ass!
as for the “liars, untrustworthy assholes and blackmailers” Just do the same shit to them. Step on them cockroaches.
im a noob… whats a PSIX??
#32 DONT BE AN ASSHOLE.
WEATHER YOUR BEING SARCASTIC OR NOT ITS NOT COOL.
PSP SUCKS!
But my mom thinks I’m cool
I’d have to agree, Christmas IS a pretty hectic time of year. For one being about joy and peace , it sure brings out the worst in SOME people(namely the lil kiddies coming in here trying to stir people up :P)
How do I start this “program” ?
Its cool i guess, proggers fall off sometimes and cant handle the heat so they do what they’re told and stay out the kitchen. And theres always liars, untrustworthy assholes and blackmailers in the game, but theres also thousands of gamers and coders that would back you up if you just asked for the help ;-). The game will continue with or without ya.
There TOO MUCH update come out at the same time and TOO LEss game that support it, so is a good time to take a break right now, (smart move if you know what i mean).. =D
I heard that sony sent a killer horde of samurai’s to kill off all the psp coders n write a msg off their own computers telling everybody they “quit”! it’s a psp conspiracy!!
man people you suck!!
even i made a better os than him but i quit cuz LUA sux and he had a better one… but wtf…

Wow its pretty sad what sxt has to say about the comment fluff made
It’s a shame people destroy the motivation of the coders. It was them that allowed us to play socom beta on the psp long before it hits the stores. I’ve played with most of the guys and the are just normal people trying to do the dev community a favour. Personally I don’t blame them for leaving sometimes because what’s the point of doing hard work just to get shafted at the end of it! If any true psp lovers want to code then feel free but keep the stuff to yourselves coz none of these wazzocks are gonna appreciate it! C*NTS!

#47 i agree totaly, These people are working to produce programs to benift us and they do it off their own backs without funding, why can you get angry when they get pissed off and leave, if it was me i would do the same with some of the reactions that i have just seen here.
47 has a good point. we should really thank the programers and hackers for what they have done so far.
how do i install it?
ALL BAD MOTHER FUCKER
Okay, Fluff has posted a comment on this site (filefront) that this is a fake, although it looks COMPLETELY real this is the beta supposibly! Although he made it so only certain MAC ID’s can run it and also I think the eboots are corrupt.
