Did Total_Noob leave the scene?
Yesterday I was contacted by HacKmaN, close friend of Total_Noob who worked with him on TN Hen. It turns out that HacKmaN is the one who released TN Hen for 6.39, after discussing with Total_Noob and making sure they were both ok with the idea. The reason this was released “so” late is that they initially had no plan to release their 6.39 exploit, but since some1’s exploit came up as part of the genesis competition, they decided there was no point in not releasing 6.39 Hen, using some1’s exploit.
HacKmaN made the following additional comments:
– TN Hen for 6.39 is nothing more than TN Hen, adapted to the 6.39 exploit by some1. Nothing else was added or removed from the Hen, there was close to no additional work.
– Total_Noob and HacKmaN want to thank the following persons:
We say thanks to some1 for his Kernel Exploit, without this HEN wouldn’t be released. We also say thanks to neur0n, for a perfect CFW and for all previous PSP programmers for paving us the way to do this.
I also personally say thanks to my nice programmer-friends, that already helped me a lot with programming and that I still really like to chat/programm whith: dx3m, DarXPloit, PSP_Lord, -blue7, Ceikor, Namenloser, etc.
We sure also say they thanks to our great comrades, that supported us really much over the time (not through codes, but through News and similar things): The Z, fkrone, flofrucht, and so on… quite all moderators of PSPKing.de and surely even the administrator of this great site: Alexking. The same thanks goes to the other great psp website by flofrucht: pspcfw.deA really special big thanks goes to Dr. Soup, that previously helped a lot on the HEN.
Furthermore we say thanks to everyone, that didn’t jump over to PRO.
And on top of this, also a great thanks goes to sony, for greating a perfect gaming device
Now, the sad piece of news that came with this message (and, this was a surprise for me, as I never officially heard about this before) is that both Total_Noob and HacKmaN are now officially “out” of the PSP scene. Quoting the original release thread on pspking.de:
This [release] does not mean we’re back on the scene, we’re doing this release purely for the faithful TN-Hen users with 6.39, who had no other choice but to use cfw pro.
Well, choice is always good I guess.
HacKmaN, Total_Noob, thanks for what you’ve done so far, and good luck for your future projects 🙂
So, err…was I the only one not knowing Total_Noob had officially decided to leave the scene? And what’s your opinion? Will that impact your choice for the next Hen you put on your console?

1. can anyone claim ownership of an exploit? i believe you can only claim to be the first to discover an exploit. how we use the exploit is up for grabs then. davee’s chickhen, HBL, TN-hen, pro, neuron’s ME and others are creations to use an exploit and enable our psp to do things beyond what sony will allow. its technically useless if others will not utilize it.
2. if you can remember TN (btw tnx for the hard work TN) will only release his tn hen thru PSPGEN. very exclusive…. then virtous flame came out for a fix so that the tn hen will work with psp 3000 4g. did he steal that? absolutely no! virtous flame made the tn-hen work for psp 4g. not pspgen, not TN..
3. VF and coldbird came up with 6.3x pro… did they steal that? again a big NO! they reversed engineered tn-hen so that it can work for ofw 6.3x… the work was all theirs… no stealing there…
4. prometheus iso loader….no stealing
5. my point is CREDITS TO THOSE WHO WORKED TO KEEP THE PSP SCENE ALIVE.
as for Total Noob’s comment…
This [release] does not mean we’re back on the scene, we’re doing this release purely for the faithful TN-Hen users with 6.39, who had no other choice but to use cfw pro.
VF and Coldbird releases their HENs (homebrew enablers) so that we could play and use homebrew in our PSP.
you TN however released your 6.39 hen ONLY for the purpose of being the bigger D!CK! REMEMBER TN, YOUR WORK IS USELESS IF NO ONE WILL USE IT. YOUR WORK WAS GREAT AT THE TIME BUT AFTER GEOHOT… YOU CREATED A SIGNED TN-HEN… DID YOU STEAL THAT? ARE YOU GETTING MY POINT SENYOR ASHOL? WHERE DID ALL THE IDEALISM GO? I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER ANY DIFERENT FROM THE ASHOLS FROM PSP GEN. ADIOS! STAY DEAD TN!
now is the psp at its end? GEOHOT already got us the keys… now open that door… we’re done with playing iso…. pick up what GEOHOT left for us… linux on the psp… if possible android on the psp… ANYONE WHO CAN DO THIS WILL GIVE THE PSP A NEW LIFE… PSP MOBILE… PSP SUITE FOR THE ANDROID… ring a bell?…. thats another 10 years for the PSP.
still waiting for wagic online….
total_noob had a big influence on the scene, ffs his name is in wikipedia; thats history. sorry TN i just went to PRO 6.20 because TN-E didnt work with MHP3 and adhoc-to-usb on my 5g.
I’m a Pro user and Im sticking to that but I dont have to pin point whos better or not and my respect to m0skit0, Wololo, JJS,CB, VF, Neuron and TN are equal. Really hate to see another dev leaves the scene but life must go on. We still have ME and PRO and off course the final TN hen to enjoy with.
I thank TN for bringing the scene back alive and allowing me to use TN Hen before they made 6.20 PRO.
come on guys stop and cut the *** i know u know we all know we louv the pro cfw except for others who really love it but seriously we love it and it is the end and time to say goodbye it was fun tho actually the ones u shud thank is wololo and his HBL >>>TN for his cfw>>>the rest *** u shouldnt thank because without tn and wololo u wouldnt be on LCFw pro or ME im not pointing out to the psp 1000 users or 2000(old ones) users im pointing to sack *** noob like me who’s psp’s are 3000’s and gos whos fw are in 5.50+ ok so regret and think and cry until you die about Total NOOB
TN-HEN was a great job. was i say, now PRO is the best thing, only because TN just couldn’t keep the competition.
if copying is the case in pro cfw, then all the cfw’s which exist today are copied except the cfw of Dark_Alex.
oh no…well,God bless you TN…we will miss you..
excuse me?? will someone tell me wat is scene? which movie? & whos total noob?
goshhh!! scene is a forum & total noob is arrogant kid..
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is
now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is
completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
