It is with sadness that we report that Fanjita is taking leave of the PSP scene, due to the ongoing demands of life and as a result of the leak which preceded the Pandora release.

Fanjita was a part of the homebrew alliance known as Noobz, responsible for many of the past downgraders, PSP firmware exploits, and most recently, the Pandora’s Battery project.

It’s with much regret that I have to announce that I’m going to retire from the sharp end of the PSP homebrew scene. The betrayal of trust that preceded the Pandora release was extremely hurtful, and has left me unable to fully trust the people I’d previously enjoyed working so hard with. And so, I have had to decide to stop working on projects that require that level of trust.

Besides that, life continues to be very busy in the run up to fatherhood, and there are various non-PSP projects that I’d like to play with. Not to mention the fact that I’m tired of the continual pressure and idiocy of the PSP scene – long gone are the fun days of pioneering amongst like minds, in a mutually supportive and gentlemanly environment.

The Pandora Battery therefore marks my last major PSP project. I expect that Team C+D and Noobz will continue to release stuff without me, and I still hope to finish up some of the non-exploit projects that I’d been working on (Installotron, piKey etc.).

It was a fun ride while it lasted.

We wish Fanjita all the best in his future endeavors. Be sure to head on over to his blog and send him a thanks for all that he has contributed to this scene.
