Hacker Major_Tom leaves the PS Vita scene
Developer Major_Tom, one of the most prolific hackers on the PS vita scene, has announced today that he is retiring from the PS vita scene. He stated that he might come back to the console hacking scene ultimately, potentially under another alias.
Although he’s requested to not ask for his reasons, I’m going to go ahead and assume that life has caught up with Major_Tom, dramatically reducing his amount of free time for the months or years ahead. This is not surprising and most hackers reach that point ultimately. There’s so much one can do when passion is the only thing driving you.
Major Tom also mentioned on Twitter that some of his ongoing projects might end up being released, depending on the teams he’s been working with with.
Major_Tom was behind some of the earlier PS vita tricks such as the custom bubble trick with fellow hacker Mr.Gas. Before that, under the alias TomTomDu80, he had released some ports of VHBL.
I’m leaving the PSVita scene. I might come back on a future console (might use another alias), but for now, that is. Don’t ask for reasons.

Projects I was working on might or might not be released, depending on leaks and people I work with.

First. Also, why are you leaving?
Lol.
…Did you even bother to read the article?
First means you didn’t read the article clearly
Funny, I always thought it meant that person is admitting to being idiot. No one gives a *** about being first on a comment section except for idiots like Alice715.
Because someone “leaked” a working dump of Binding of Isaac and apparently he got butthurt, but that may be false so don’t quote me on this.
Is this supposed to be funny?
Did you not read the article and his twitter comments? -_-
can you read or is posting stupid comments your only skill
He said don’t ask for reasons..
Jeeezz, he got some guts to stand up to a hacker
Trololol? 😛
Sad to see you go Major_Tom, thanks for all your hard work.
Sad day for the scene
second
Goodbye Major_Tom, thanks for all of your hard work on the scene, you’ll be missed ;-;
I bet he comes back as @GroundControlPS4…
i laughed too hard at this. wonder if anyone else will get this?
that’s the spirit, can you hear me?
Call me a *** but why is he leaving?
Becos no one can donate him Imao trust me it was that
I wouldn’t blame him if that was the reason, Why work ur butt off on projects just to give them to selfish people like you for free? Hard to have the passion to carry on with that in mind.
He don’t need money. Even one guy offered him a PS Vita for free but he rejected it.
bad news 🙁 bye tom
Pretty sure he is leaving because the warez is ermeging.
Good for him, that’s at this point on the PSP scene that things turned ugly for hacker devs and the psp scene as a whole.
Major..It’s Been Real….Good luck In “EVERYTHING” You Do….PEACE OUT! … WITZRND
i think hes leaving cause isnt much to really do on the vita and its basically hacked so im sure hes done with it cause i think the last thing he really worked on was the loader but good job and may we see you in the future
1st hykem. now, major Tom??
then scene has come to a halt.
Safe travels, Major_Tom.
i was hoping to see ad for vita hack but instead of that i saw this ***
bye Ms. Major_Tom
i hope you get what you want
^_^
Sad times! But I guess there are more important things in life! Sad to see Major_tom leave. All the best and thanks for everything.
Sad to hear this is the case….though considering he gave no reason, could it be hes secretly part of team freek making vitamin? Lol
I bet he’s going for the ps4 scene! You watch. he said if he comes back it’ll be on a future console :p I just feel it!
I’m very sad to see him go, and i hope he can come back one day. We’ve lost so many wonderful hackers recently 🙁 we wish you all the best of luck in the world, Major_Tom. Peace
reason = MONEY
Ground control to Major_Tom..
Thanks for all..
Actually they found the cure .
Maybe he doesn’t want S0ny after his ***. I would be paranoid. Look at Geoh0t he never came back to the ps3 scene 🙁

Merci pour tout !
Bye bye Major o/
You made so many things possible for us that are not able to do it themselves. For as long as the scene lives we will remember you.
Why are Hacker these days want to be famous like Justin bieber?
Wayne Why He leaves good bye.
Dahhh, SONY says, STOP THEN ALL or you wil in arrested!
Then he Says was leaving the scene, this is the only unique reason to not say the reason cause is away for now. LOL.
Then he can’t says, and i can’t send Print from my conversation, but just wait a new unknown hacker is coming soon, or better to say, was in the scene but Nicknamed with …. “Surprise i Can’t says” LOL.
Major be upgraded your patent.
LOL
RIP English
What did the English language ever do to you?
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare..
They are changing names cause the big SØNY EYE is watching.
Smart move
Just why dont Hackers try to make Ps2 emulator on psvita? since FFX release and MGS2 at ps-V i mean PS2 ISO so we can move on to the Next LVL
because those games arent emulated and the vita isnt nearly powerful enough
Sadface.
