Today we are announcing our partnership with IRC.Malloc.us, a thriving community of developers and experienced users alike. IRC.Malloc.us aims to be the number one spot for getting information on breaking scene news and developments, straight from the developers themselves.

Users can visit channel #psp on the network for the latest PSP news, our channel #exophase.com, and #psp-hacks for all your PSP related questions.

It is finally time to unveil the secret I’ve been keeping from everyone – including the opers. For the few of you who were privileged enough to catch even the slightest wind of this project, I apologise for the lack of information or response but it was necessary to keep things under wraps. This project is but a small step in our plan to transform Malloc into an “information central” – or, for now, THE source for PSP related news – on IRC.

First and foremost, it is my absolute pleasure to be announcing a partnership between http://exophase.com that will enable us and exophase.com to deliver you the latest and greatest news before everyone else – as we will strive to enable the developers to easily announce releases and information on the projects they’re working on – live, on IRC right infront of you.

Secondly, back on the network known as toc2rta, we started up a private Developers only channel that allowed like minded individuals to easily communicate with each other and share code in a secured, private environment. Back then it was a popular idea and so we have brought it back, along with some developers and a special system I’ve developed to make it easier for Developers to communicate with the rest of Malloc.us.

The channel name is the same ( #pspdev ) and the requirements (must be a known developer, hardware expert, firmware investigator) are the same, but the resources we’re going to offer developers were not available with the previous #pspdev on toc2rta.

For any developer (or anyone that meets the requirements outlined above) that wishes to get access to #pspdev and its resources, I invite you to connect to irc.malloc.us and talk to me (EvilSeph) in PM.

Along with #pspdev , we endeavour to try and enable more people to become striving developers in the Scene and as such we have opened up an open-developer support/chat channel called #devzone that enable established developers and potential developers to communicate with and help each other with developing applications for the PSP.

Thirdly, whether it is well known or not, Malloc.us is the home to one of the best PSP support channels in existance on IRC and we’d like to extend an invitation to other PSP related websites to direct their users needing PSP related support to irc.malloc.us, channel #psp-hacks where they will receive accurate, friendly help with the most commonly asked questions about the PSP and more.

Lastly, our continuous interaction in #psp-hacks with users requiring PSP related support provides us with a unique insight into the minds of the many users in the Scene who find it difficult to follow instructions laid out in readmes or the like – and as such, enables us to provide the most accurate, user-friendly information possible.

To that end, we have decided to form a “team” called PSPH that mainly consists of all the hard-working helpers in #psp-hacks. PSPH will endeavour to deliver the highest quality, easiest to understand and most detailed information in order to help the many users in the community that need assistance with their PSPs. PSPH’s agenda includes writing FAQs, Guides and creating easy installers.
