Apologies from Chaos Zero
greg | December 19, 2006
Chaos Zero has stepped up to the plate with a public apology for all the confusion caused with the fake TA-082 downgrader. I, for one, trust Chaos Zero and respect his contributions & loyalty towards the scene; especially helping those who need it most — the noobs. Here’s the apologetic excerpt:
On behalf of PSP-HaXors, I would personally like to apologize for the recent release of the fake TA-082 downgrader by dark_thug.
Once it was emailed to me, I was skeptical. The sizes of the so-called “.thug” files matched the sizes of the Official Sony 1.50 firmware eboot and 2.71 eboot files.
So instead of releasing a fake downgrader to the scene, I held on to it.
With no proof, I finally decided to get it tested in a live test.
Without a TA-082 PSP myself to test it, I gave it out to test to 3 people who asked for it.
When all three came back saying it worked, I released it, with the proper cautions.
1st!
meh gimpy :S
Seriously, you wieners. I have four words for all the Chaos-bashing bandwagoning boyfriends:
S.
T.
F.
U.
Your PSP is fine.
Everyones’ PSPs are FINE.
You’re just mad because you’re still suck with a TA-082.
Chaos is one of the most helpful non-devs in the scene. Yeah, he bricked his PSP, but it was for testing purposes which could help further the scene. He didn’t demand you pay for it. I’d say he deserves a new one. And yeah, he endorsed a fake downgrader, but he was the one getting played for a fool because he had the testers lie to him about it working.
So, to all the haters, please do one of three things:
Go dive down a well
Go play a DS.
but most definitely…
MOVE ON.
well i wasnt complaining i was stating that it was gimpy because whoever sent chaoszero the files must have been a right tw@ lol
no, I wasn’t saying anything to you - I was just putting it at the top so it could be read first. Sorry for the confusion if you get this.
lol.. retard..
noobs shouldn’t help noobs..
if I brick my PSP, I mustn’t help others to do so..
these glitches are noxious to this fragile community..
btw you should understand this:
noobs never read the big red bold text for sure!!
Noobs hardly read any text. If they did they would no longer be noobs. That is why they always ask for help. They don’t want to learn anything, they just want info that someone else had to learn for them. I will not answer a post in a forum from a noob. Never! Our society watches far too much TV and reads far too few books, white papers, newspapers, or other types of written reference materials.
Choose a topic any one that you want. Without posting a single question you can find a forum somewhere that has the answer you are looking for. Music? Movies? TV’s? Cars? You bet, they all have their own forums and all of the answers are already out there. The PSP is no different!
I don’t know man, maybe it is Attention Deficit Disorder. They see TA-082 downgrader and that is all that they can focus on anymore so they stop reading the rest. I don’t know, I don’t care, and I will not help them!
Scroll down the page and look at the posts near the end by ToMeR. He spends so much time asking for help with Devhook on a COMMENT BOARD, not even a forum, that he could have found the answer to his question plus three more that he hasn’t thought of yet. Instead he just keeps cluttering this board with posts begging for help with a software problem.
Sympathy for noobs? Not from this guy!
I’m out
well its not like you caused any damage just some disappointed T082 people because it wouldn’t even load anyhow!
hell i was going to say that.
ya no bricks but some bassards are evil, its like all those evil gits teh put virus`s on torrents. pointless and evil
but then again.. there will be a downgrader eventually for the poor TA owners. but it will take them alot more to trust it when it turns up.
chaoszero you whore >:0
/me runs
your an idiot, at least he had the decency to apologise for an error in judgement that many nillions of people could hav mad, he was just unlucky that it happened to him!!
keep going chaos!!
You are right it could have happened to ANYONE! But it wouldn’t have because most people have better judgement than that. 99.9% of us would not have even contemplated releasing it. He is not unlucky! He is trying to be more than he is and his judgement is abhorrent! Stop acting like he is a savior.
I’m Out!
al leadt he di…NO HE DID NOTHING !
PS31791, YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT
dont fret over it chaos, we’re only human you know ;-) were gonna make mistakes. youve helped me out a couple times before and i appreciate all your efforts, so there was a mistake, big deal.
Yo everyone makes mistakes. It makes u a man to come up to us and apologize and I forgive you for that. Not many apprieciate wat this site had done for our psp’s. Making it fun and exciting rather than following Sony’s version. My psp bricked 2 times but I still come to this site cus it keeps me loving the psp. So dude, dont worry be happy.
Sry guys. Im ashamed now.. I f***ed up the scene big time. This was all my fault anyway. I was the 1st liar. I deserved what i got… (banned) :(
you sure did fucka
FUCK YOU CHAOS
AND FUCK YOU xPSPx Skull xPSPx
are you kidding, do you have any idea of the other contributions chaos has made? (DevHook)
whats chaoz got to do with dv?
all his done is make installers
CZ has not put a single second of time or a single line of code into the source of Devhook. He makes installers that allow ignorant PSP owners to remain ignorant in just a few easy steps. He has truly done nothing but help noobs to remain noobs.
Why don’t you take down the statue on your headboard and the poster on your bedroom wall of CZ and replace it with a statue and poster of Booster, a truly masterful coder and the real source of all of your PSP entertainment. “Booster is Devhook, Devhook is Booster.” (Repeat slowly 5 times and you should remember it by then)
Give credit where credit is due, not to CZ. Can’t you see what his attention starvation has caused? He now has people giving him credit for Devhook and it is not his. I do give CZ credit for attaching his name to something that is not his so effectively. That really does take skill!
I would forgive him but I don’t own a TA-082. I wasn’t scammed in the first place. It would be like forgiving him for lying to my neighbor when that is something that my neighbor needs to forgive him for. I wasn’t lied to so I don’t have anything to forgive him for.
I hold no ill will for CZ. But all this love for such a normal joe, I just don’t understand it. Quit praising him because he really hasn’t done anything.
Sorry if I made you cry!
I’m Out!
I’m Out!
stop fucking disrespect chaos zero, is not his fault. you little fucking bitch.
well…he helped noobs around the world, including myself come out of sonys shell with his installers,,, :l
umm who needs installers? it already tells you how to install it ! So no, he did barely anything
very spiteful towards a man who’s made everything incredibly simple for complete newbs like…uhh..not me, but a whole bunch of people.
i’m sure you’ve already read this like a million times, but pay no mind to these sad bastards who have yet to come up with anything themselves.
now on with the show, i’m sure there will EVENTUALLY be a downgrader TA-082 suckers, and also the sad people who have fallen into sony’s dark abyss and upgraded to 2.8 and up…
whats wrong with helping ‘newbs’ with installers. you’re probably one of those fat uber geeks who dates his right hand, and says things like “don’t feed the script kids” some people have lives that consist of things other than learning GUI in their parent’s basements…
not saying Chaos Zero and other homebrew contributors are like that though…they probably moved out…that part doesnt really matter much anyway if you are a cool person. if you are a geek though (*coughYOUcough*) you have a real climb ahead of you before you can start escaping that profile of loserdom you were obviously born into
Dude, not cool. It wasn’t Chaos’s fault; he was trying to do some good for the noobs and make an installer. It’s not like he was purposely (however the hell you spell it…) making a PSP bricker.
chaoszero you made a mistake and admitted to it, and for that people should forgive you especially when there was no damage done, if anyone is to blame for this its Sony! i hate the fact that they brang out the motherboard as i would like some of my brothers to get a PSP but with time passing by, your more likely to buy one with that board! =(
dude you have helped lots of people dont worry, and thanks for apologizing =D
Regards
gta_cb
dude ^^ calm down its not a big nuttin happedn to anybody just a lot of hopes owend THANKS U 2.71SEC
@ “Hey guess what” fucking leave him alone!
i bet if you made a mistake you wouldnt be man enough to admit it and apologize! so shut up and get a life picking on someone thats a better person then you!!!!
yeh seriously nothing bad happened, and the term good things happen to those who wait! so wait and leave the dude alone!
@noob yeh guess what? your name suites you as it reminds me of how much of a NOB you are!!! leave him alone, chaoszero made a mistake and has apologized for it, he hasnt ran away tried to keep it quiet so he has my respect! your a nob and ur name states it all!
GET A LIFE!!!!
Chaos is the shit. No need to apologize, because I’m not a dumbass who bought a TA-082 in the first place. XD
This site is gay
ur gay
im gay
Dude that was honest of you to appoligize you have helped me out alot in the past especialy in your Devhook tutorial. We all take a chances at what we do here especialy when we mess with the flash. And as I remember there was a warning on the post so you cant be held accountable. Keep on doing what you do Thanks Alot
proboably the best comment posted here, well done.
hear hear!
so this file cant change ta-082’s but can it downgrade my 3.02??
j/k 3.02 for life!!!
another joke :P nah 2.71 SE-C with devhook for 3.02 for life!!!!
gwn badboy now make a 2.80 downgrader
hey fuck chaoszero for his stupid downgrader. he made a lot of us fuck our psps up. now my psp doesn’t work right because of him. he just wanted attention so he releases this “downgrader”. all he is is a fucken retard that doesn’t know what he is doing. if i ever see chaoszero, i will kick his ass. he is a dumb 10 yr old mother fucker
what the fuck man are u retarded it was ur fault for trying to downgrade ur psp he just put his things out there for the people that know how to use it. it was ur fault for trying the dame thing and ur the dame 9 yr old mother fucker.
To quote DAX himself, it can’t brick your PSP, heck it can’t even run. You sir, are a liar.
lol hai retard… did u not read the article? the fake downgrader caused no damage to any psps… it neither updated them nor bricked them… so stfu failure… go be retarded somewhere else ^_^
in other news, chaos zero is a dirty slut
all your base are belong to us >:0
N00b your an asshole
lol ur an idiot htis shit cant do anything to your psp at all
JACKASS
Dude, I’m still trusting in Chaos, how dare you assholes talk down upon, him, and for all that he’s done? At least he apologized, meh, we’ve all made mistakes, I mean, how many of us bricked a PSP ourselves, NOT from this. Exactly, I can’t believe you guys are acting so immature, quit your bitching, and just grab another PSP. Is this really going to stop you guys from having fun with your PSPs? Chaos, keep up the good work, I’m on your side.
:D
chaoszero, nothing but respect for you man!
You know what? This wasnt Chaos’ fault! It was those idiots that lied about it working, namely, xSkullx PSP xSkullx, who deserves to die for what he did!
we only human. everyone makes mistake so dont worry about it, chaos fuck the haters keep your head up. ^^
…… this whole thing has been blown way way out of proportion the only trouble this may have caused is the fact that a few ta082 people are now dissapointed BUT SO WHAT personally if i were in chaos shoes non of the shit you little kids say would bother me there was no harm done and he publicly admitted and apologised to his mistake which was no big deal in the first place i think that this topic should end now before any more hurtful words are said and before and more idiots make fools of themselves ….END :-)
P.S oh and by the way i just wanted to let you guys at psp-hacks administration i love ya keep up all the good work i watch the site every day for any updates :-) happy holidays
Bill
lol, and do we need that bitching in here.most of you even dont own ta-082 so su ok.
that shows you that everyone can make mistakes, and if you want to be careful then wait wait and see what happens.
shis asslicking is kinda sick ;P
You idiots (you know who they/you are) are pathetic fools, lets hope all the telegraph masts in your locality all get axed by beavers or something…beavers with axes. yes. Dont sweat Chaos and good stuff with the apology, keep up the fine work :)
Thanks for the public appology chaos, it takes balls to do that! Though i wasnt effected, I know some people who may have been.
I just wanna say a big FUCK YOU! to the pricks who released this crapola! They should die! Pathetic, sad, douchebags…
its like the pricks who write bad code/malware and stuff for Windows environments. ITS NOT FUNNY, IT DOESNT MAKE YOUR COCK ANY BIGGER!
Nuf said……………
Chaos, we all bow down to you here!! Continue your good work for the noobs! including myself sometimes :) Alot of us don’t spend the time to say thanks to the guys who contribute heavily to the scene
APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
wtf are u saying?
im saying its ok.
I dunt understand why chaos should be appologising. it should be those three people that said it works. first of all they didn’t even test it because they were too pussy and second of all they lied and got every1’s hopes up with a ta802 motherboard…
so i think they should say sorry… not hide behind chaos zero
-Mafi@
People who bought a TA-082 are dumdasses anyways, screw them over dude.
Chaos it is cool. Hell you was only trying to help the scene as usual. F the people that say otherwise.
VIVA CHAOS
They arnt dumbass’s, they simply fell into the trap unitentionally. Surly you have your noobs at times. But not a lot of people start homebrewing from the second they discovered the PSP. Like myself.
Though I got into it at 2.6 with a non TA so i was fine. And the interests in homebrew can from XbX and DV devs.
Don’t call TA-082 owners dumbass’s, they are still a very handy part of the PSP commmunity…..
Ta082 aint no dumbass, you fucking asshole. they just unlucky like me who bought a new entertainment pack. but i have 6 psp altogether. fuck you.
Fuck chaoszero for not verifing this downgrader before releasing it as “good’ on his website. chaoszero will suck anybodys nuts and ass for attention. i bet his “nuts” haven’t even dropped yet because he is only 9 yrs old LOL
^yeah then get them to buy him a psp
WHY DIDNT ANY OF YOU SCOLD THE 3 FUCKERS? CHAOS ZERO TRUSTED THEM AND LET THEM TEST THE “DOWNGRADER” AND ALL 3 OF THEM LIEF ABOUT THE “DOWNDRADER” WORKING! CRAP! FUCK THE 3 WHOEVER THEY ARE.
One was banned.
thats exactly what i said man, and yea blame the 3 retards.
one good cut down deserves another and between my legs hangs your mother
And i can’t believe chaos actually “bricked” his PSP just by flashing PRXes. It’s all just a money scam. He told the whole world abt his bricked PSP so that people who $uck his balls will donate, and imagine the number of people blinded by the easy installers donating to him. Dammit. Wake up people.
fck cjaso zero suck my dick for bricking my psp, fckkk you and your mother you so. you should stop with psp before u break others psp’s assswipe!!!!!!!!
lol.. that is so not me, fellow imposter. You sound more like an idiot to me. Hahaha.
I think the guy using my nick is n00b. LOL. Same personality i suppose.
yea the dumb ass isn’t original enough to use his own name.
@noob
STFU AND GET OFF THIS SITE ASSH@LE
yo chaos, dont let all these people degrade you and make you look like shit. you have been nothing but help to the PSP community and will always be a great help to us……ESPECIALLY FOR ALL THE NOOBS THAT DONT KNOW SHIT AND ARE DOING NOTHING BUT TALKING SHIT ON HERE!!!! other than that, you’re still one of the greatest PSP programmers, coders, etc.
>>>>>STEVEOKINEVO
Dammit man, you just don’t get it do you? Look at yourself, “ESPECIALLY FOR ALL THE NOOBS THAT DONT KNOW SHIT AND ARE DOING NOTHING BUT TALKING SHIT ON HERE!!!! other than that, you’re still one of the greatest PSP programmers, coders, etc.”
You sound so…. sure of yourself. Actually for all to know, I’m not against Chaos at all. He has done great things and I can’t deny that. Maybe great is an overstatement I must say. Because he actually helps people(read as *n00b*) to use the wonders of devhook and cf but, c’mon steveokinevo, he’s not one of the greatest PSP programmers, coders, etc.. he’s just a very helpful guy.. When will people EVER get this. Im not bringing Chaos down, but im bringing justice to the coders themselves.
well said, well said
I say, don’t worry bout’ it. You helped me out when I first got into psp homebrew. and who the fuck cares, he made ONE mistake, so what.
He aint did shit but beg for money . We ALL could have got along without him.
Install packs are the scraps of the coding world . He just taked other ppl’s work and add’s him name , FUCK HIM AND HIS MONRY BEGGING ASS. Bricked a psp using 2.71se eh .. Yeah and own sony……
i remember the disclaimers on the release. it hadnt been fully tested yet. i dont have a TA-082 luckily, but even so i would have waited before installing something like this until all the bugs were worked out and it became a known standard app in the homebrew community. all these people making a fuss with the developers and testers over this need to calm down and look at their own actions first. if you are going to to race towards the latest beta releases you should be aware of the risks involved.
^taked = took
Chaos you’re so great you can fuck my sister.
She’s blind deaf and dumb and has been recently downgraded?????
and by the way, there’s really been entirely too much negativity on here lately and it’s Xmas…what’s up with that? Most of us are to blame for that, I myself included. We see rude comments that piss us off so we throw more rudeness back in and it builds into a big mess. Let’s work on fixing that, at least for the holidays?
lol two fakes, first ookm’s *uncomfirmed if worked and so it is considered fake* and now this. BTW Chaos did nothing wrong, he tested it with live subjects, he then took the word of said sub
