** This thread discusses the Content article:
Project4 development likely to be cancelled **
For those of us eagerly anticipating the release of Auraomega's homebrew XMB replacement for the Sony PlayStation Portable, Project4, then here's some bad news: it seems that the development of this very nifty piece of homebrew code has ground to a halt, and from the looks of things, it's not going to continue anytime soon. Ouch.
So why has development stopped? Here's a quote direct from Auraomega himself:
Project4
is likely to stop development now as earlier today the source codes
were lost. While developing at college, my memory card went missing,
this memory card had the only Project4 source codes on it, and quite
obviously its taken 6 months to reach this stage in development, I
can't really constitute another 2 months to just get back to this level.
There
you have it. With the memory card missing (and still lost, after
Auraomega himself made another sweep of his college to try and retrieve
it), the chances of the homebrew scene getting access to the Project4 Open Beta 3 version is slim.
But
there's still a chance, however. Auraomega says that he has a Closed
Beta 3 version of Project4 uploaded, but the normal user is locked out
from it. He's not promising anything, but if the code still doesn't
turn up, he'll have to remove the lock via a HEX editor or a disassembler. Good luck to him on that.
