We mentioned it earlier today: Frostegater, the dev we’ve been hearing a lot from lately has recently joined the PRO Team, a team that have great developers such as Virtuous Flame, neur0n and Yosh/wth (sadly, coldbird left, we miss you bro).
Let us recap a bit on the history between PRO and Frostegater.
Initially, Frostegater was a publicly pronounced PRO-Hater, being more in favor of TN, so…. what happened?
Well, for starters, if something I have learned from wololo.net is that a united scene brings much more than a separate scene where no info is publicly shared (see ps3 scene).
Another thing to take into consideration is the recent leak of ARK (formerly known as PRO-Vita), a port of PRO CFW for the PS Vita, in which Frostegater played a role as he was one of the people involved in such leak, according to a recent blog entry by Coldbird himself. So you may ask “why is Frostegater joining PRO after he has contributed to the leak?”, well, there are a few things to take into consideration.
First, Frostegater never intended to leak the CFW in the first place, he just wanted to have it to reverse it and learn from it. This doesn’t change the fact that the leak happened, but amongst the people involved in the leak, Frostegater was the only dev, meaning he understood how Coldbird left and felt very sorry for his actions leading to Coldbird’s retirement. This lead to Frostegater offering Coldbird a kernel exploit to compensate for what happened, which lead to Frostegater befriending Coldbird and VF and ultimately joining PRO.

Now, I must come clean, this is not new, this happened quite a while ago, and I’ve been knowing it for quite some time, but I didn’t want to make it public without Frostegater’s or any other PRO member’s permission. But now, Coldbird himself have made this info public here: http://www.coldbird.uk.to/?e=10
so there is no reason to keep it a secret anymore, Frostegater is now a member of the Prometheus Team, and I know this means great things for the scene.
I also want to clarify that Frostegater’s membership in PRO Team does NOT mean that ARK will be released, Frostegater will probably release his exploit with CEF, because by the time I’m writing this, ARK is still a private CFW.

ur nonesense overflow

yeah talking nonsense overflow.zzz so many noobs here.
-
is not the game, this is what Acid_Snake meant.
-
Just leave the fool with his stupidity!!!
-
Sorry for the spam on the first page, my meds ran out. D:
-
Release exploit for 2.01 please!
-
we are on 2.02 no on 2.01
-
-
Well if its a privite so called CFW then why are they even bragging about it. Like I commented in the coldbird coming back to clairify blog entry. Keep it to yourselves until its released. All this youtube “we have a exploit” but were not sharing is turning into Bull$hit.
Pretty soon you’ll have to pay to play basically there going to charge you for a premium CFW.
-
Because… this site isn’t just about what you can get your greedy hands on?
This site is partly about reading about the modding accomplishments of others, that they’re proud of. If you couldn’t care less about that on its own, then why exactly do you deserve free firmwares?

I wondered what would happen, interesting. So this is pretty exciting.
-
You guys looks like small kiddys sry because of the flammes… If the devs dont release ist that your fould and the normal people get a punisment to. Thx
Sry for my english
-
sit tight and wait for pro 5 to realse if they ever will
-
These fake claims are actually a good thing IMO. Misdirection is the best defense against those who will report the exploit once it comes out, or leak the info before the official release. Only those who are faithful to the ninja release will know the truth. And for those who actually fell for the fake claims, you should have known by now that the only time we would see any info on the exploit is only through the ninja release. I’m sorry you wasted your money, but you should have known better.
-
So I think the guy that saying that is the game is a douce bag. He should just shut up and leave the thread and forum. And if that is the game well I bought that a long time ago.
-
i dont undestand all this they became friend or enemies or any thing what about the exploit are they giving it to us or what
-
If you cannot post a picture of the announcement, stfu and stop misleading people!
-
i dun think i want privacy becuz i want buy official game and i bought few official games lbp,u13,call of duty,dokuro,gundam
-
sad….
-
there’s nothing to do but wait. i still have faith the ninja release will be out before the month ends. just sit tight and watch porn, youtube or something. do what you have to do frosty, wololo and to all the devs.
-
So much drama
-
good news
-
Wololo thanks for the heads-up. For the trolls posting stupid f#£ck things on other forums. This is not for piracy, this is for the freedom to use a device at its best abilities on open base software and you pay for the thing so why are you not allowed to to what you want with it. I work on cars and no car manufacturers can stop me from doing what n want to a clients cars, so the same will apply to my vita,ps3 and PSP.

So a cold bird, a frosty gator, and an acidic snake walk into a bar…
