djp So, how do you feel about the PSP being hacked so quickly after the USA release date?
AloneTrio: This is actualy my first project in the console scene, so I am not to familiar with the history of consoles, the only thing I have done before console wise were some intro's for PSX and Xbox
djp: I see, so this is pretty much a whole new experience for you.
AloneTrio: It seem's that all skilled ppl are making an effort to help hack the psp and make the homebrew scene ( loser_, oopo, mrbrown,etc..) with their legal toolchain and PSPSdk
djp: Yes, the PSP Dev scene has grown rapidly
djp: You guys are making big moves in the PSP scene with your loaders, Can you tell us anything about V3?
AloneTrio: At first i was a part of the oldschool WAB Demo Team. I had a big demo for psp, with main menu ( already coded ) and I planed to invite all coder's to take part in the project project coding a little screen for the demo. So i needed to code a route that could make it capable to run other .elf's from the main menu. Here is where wab launcher v1 is born.
AloneTrio: Now it seem that ppl want play Games ( that they legaly own) to play from their memory stick
AloneTrio: So I delayed the demo release to give more effort on the V3 game launcher but I delayed the V3 release date because, rumors said that the ps2nfo guys got hands on my v3 internal, and rumor was confirmed by the announcement of their own launcher.
AloneTrio: So I will wait until ps2nfo release's there loader, and I will disassemble it, then release WAB V3 WITH source code, and show ppl, who are the fake's
djp: So with the release being delayed, why dont you guys just implement something else to prove to the world that it is actualy yours in a hidden fashion?
djp: Yea, that will shut them up
djp: Do you guys feel a media center will come into play? Like XBMC did for the XBOX?
AloneTrio: I think if it goes, it wont be from our team, we have already started a new project, wab psp linux directed by gimli, the Dr of the debian port on xbox.
djp: Do you think streaming .iso from our computer's or another media device will be capable in the future?
AloneTrio: If you want the real scoop, a tool will come soon too, that rip's umd, not on your ms, but directly to your pc, through USB so I think streaming will be possible by the same way.
djp: sounds sweet last question, How do you guys feel about the stuff that PS2NFO is pulling on the scene right now renaming and retagging other peoples hard work?
AloneTrio: Like I said I am in console scene for not that long and I never even heard of ps2nfo before but when I seen what they do with false info etc.. I really think they are like pspupdate, I mean ONLY HERE TO COLLECT HITS FOR ADVERTISEMENT.
djp: is there anything that i missed that you would like to cover?
AloneTrio: I am 31 years old and involved in demo scene since good old amiga/atari war
