The BBC technology website just ran a story, aiming to explain the homebrew battle to a more mainstream audience. 

You can see a discussion of the issues, plus quotes from Fanjita and Dark AleX, in the article here .

And henceforth, n00bz becomes famous to non-psp owners! On a more interesting note, I didn't know you lived here in the UK. Congratulation!

Hi Fanjita, wow your name is up in lights now Thank you so much for all you have done for the PSP (I just love PSPradio) and showing Sony what a great oppotunity they have missed in locking out homebrew. Mind you, now they know your name I would be careful of going down dark streets for a while. Look out for the guys wearing "shades" at night Regards, Bungie Jumper. (UK too)

Nice work mate, you did a great job detailing the great things the homebrew scene has accomplished despite the interviewers overly negative focus/line of questioning. I personally thank you for the eloaders that gave me my first taste of homebrew on my PSP until it was downgradable, and have several friends who also owe you a debt of gratitude due to the 3.03 Downgrader.

I read this story on the big Beeb earlier. Nice to see us(the homebrew community) getting some GOOD press, and even nicer to see Sony spokespeople who are not bothered about using your hacks for homebrew!

Nice One ! great interview , I unlocked my psp as the bbc put it and it has helped me as myself and another friend have been working on a flightsimulator 2004/FSX linked FMC for the psp to save having to open other panels ! and that's a legit reason and sony can't say i am breaking the Law by running it.

Well, well - if this isn't indicative of the impact your combined efforts are having, then nothing short of Sony putting a price on your heads will do! My continuing support and admiration should be taken as given. Go Noobz!!

You could have said something about the irda thing on the psp that is unused with official software and only has meaning with some homebrew! Its kinda a shame I'm using 3.10 firmware! lol Well good luck unlocking that!

slbdevil said:

why would he get into problems if nothing he??s doing is illegal? piracy is totally different from homebrew and customizing the console. AMAZING JOB YOU ALL DONE ON THE HOMEBREW SCENE! YOU R-O-C-K! @psp kid: i think now they??re working on it, they might find an exploit... who knows! so many things that one, two months ago werent possible to do on a PSP...
