Short (and very lightweight) interview, highlights:
-He found it last Saturday.
-They are delaying it to get some things ready (they only mention mirrors).
-No Sony tools were used, only free tools so no problems on that front.
-All the homebrew stuff developed for 1.0 will run as good or as bad as it does in 1.0 with it, no recoding needed.
I want to translate this part:
¿Alguna cosa más?
Bueno, que mañana se tendrán que tragar sus palabras muchas personas que han calificado este proyecto de Fake.
Mucha gente cree que siempre van a ser los mismos los que saquen cosas, y hablando mal, les jode que sean otros los que las consigan.
Pero la realidad es que este tipo de cosas, si yo lo he conseguido, lo puede hacer cualquiera. No soy mas listo que el resto de gente que trabaja en la Scene; es cuestión de persistencia y no tirar la toalla.
Desde aquí animo a la gente a que investigue y ayude a mejorar la Scene Española.
Todo es ponerse y confiar en uno mismo; fallaremos muchas veces, pero algo lograremos, porque nada es perfecto, ni nosotros ni los sistemas.
Sólo espero que la gente pueda disfrutar al máximo de la consola, que es lo que en el fondo tratamos de conseguir.
Anything else?
Well, tomorrow some people who have considered this project a fake will have to eat their words.
Many people believe that only the same ones are the ones who will always release stuff, and doing some trash talking, it fucks them that others manage to pull things.
But the reality is that these kind of things, if I have managed to make it, anyone can make it. I am not smarter that anybody else working on the scene, it's just a matter of persistence and not giving up.
From here I support people to experiment and help to make a better Spanish Scene. It's just a matter of really trying to do it and believe in yourself; we'll fail many times, but we will make something, because nothing is perfect, nor us nor the systems.
I just hope that people enjoy the console to the max, that is just what we want to do in the end.
I know some of the people involved, and seeing they are there, all I can say is
VIVA ESPAÑAAAAAAA
It's real, 100% sure. Those guys wouldn't touch this if it was crappy.
Tomorrow will be a good day for lots of people.
Edit: on the link on the previous post, there is a zip with the interview translated:
Why and When PSP-DEV was born?
PSP-DEV was born in May. The founder members were Cybblade & Pawstick. Our porpuse was made full functionality the PSP, and that it will be able to run Homebrew.
When did you join the PSP-DEV Team?
I join the group in one or two days; before that I was a Scene freelance.
Who make possible this Firmware 1.5 Project?
Cybblade, Pawstick and me were the basics. There were a lot of people that help us along this way; It´s imposible to put all of them on a list.
Who are the Fantastic Four?
There are more than four people, i think. As I said before, a lot of people help us, working hard to make the launch possible May 15th, people of EOL as Ferdopa, MrSiir, Alejo, Jixo, etc.
The proyect itself is reduced to a very small high security group to avoid leaks. I Think that they are 6 people, so we are talking about the Fantastic Six.
What is an Exploit?
It´s a code or security door thats make possible use the failures of a system. You can use it to run not allowed code or to do things that are usually not allowed, but not necesarely negative or destructive.
Who discovered that Exploit in the 1.5 Firmware?
I discovered it. I don´t know if I was lucky or it was the result of working a lot of time, searching all posible failure issues. I thinks that it would be the second option; the lucky it´s no enough, bacause if it was only lucky, the exploit maybe was be discovered before, Dont´t you?
When was the moment?
Saturday 11th at 16:00 horas; My face cahnged when i saw that it was working. That day i told myself "if I don´t get it, i leave the proyect for a while"; I left away a lor of things of my normal life in order to work in this project.
As soon as you discover the Exploit, you made it public, Don´t you?
It´s was made a few hours later. First we made a video. The new was public Saturday Night at Spain.
It was a very happy moment for all of us, and we couldn´t wait more. I think that it was not for less
Why the project will not be public until tomorrow?
We have to finish a lot of thigs. In the beggining, the project will be public Saturday 19th, but we decided to work hard and have the project ready to go public before.
Today we are finishing all the details in a hurry. Only the web servers issues (22000 visits in 2 days) are taking a lot of time.
Did you use Sony Tools or Protected Code (copyrighted) in this proyect ?
Absolutely noneAll the tools and code esed are totaly free, as well the console loader. So, the project will be in all the sites without problems; there is nothing ilegal in it. I don´t want get troubles with Sony
What Homebrew will be run?
All of them; the homebrew aplicattions will be run as well or as bad as the run inthe 1.0 Firmware.
Dou you want to say anything more?
Well, tomorrow will be a great day, and a lot of people will be very sorry about the things that they were writting this days, like this project is a fake.
A lot of people thinks that only the same people make this kind of scene work, and this people are dissapointed when another people, like us, get good results.
But the real thing is this: if I can get it, everyone can get it. I am not smarter than othe secene people; it about work hard and no surrender.
From here i support all the scene people to investigate and help the Spanish Scene; we will fail a lot of times, but we get the get good results the same times.
No one is perfect; neither people, neither machines.
I hope all of you will enjoy the console and the project; that is our only wish.
