Lan.st closed for an âindefinite periodâ
Update: the forums are still closed but the content is now available in a read-only way. Thanks Mathieu đ
Those of you who have been on the Sony scene for less than 3 or 4 years might have never heard of it, but the once-famous PSP/PS3 scene forum lan.st has closed for an âindefinite period of timeâ, which could mean forever as far as I can tell.
Lan.st was owned and operated by PSP/PS3 scene legend Mathieulh, one of the people who, among other things, gave us Homebrew signing on the PSP. Another âpioneerâ of PSP hacking, Silverspring, was a long time resident admin there. It was one of the places where people discussed PSP exploits freely, and a few major PSP hack milestones originated there, such as Mattiazâs Gripshift exploit. I had myself discussed my first âcrashâ there, which turned out to be a serious security issue in the libtiff, and impacted not only the PSP, but most OSes as well.
The moderators at lan.st, including myself, had started receiving some PM spam from advertising bots over the past months, and I assume this is one of the reasons that triggered the closure of the site.
As I type this, none of the content on the site is accessible, which is a shame because it was still today a useful source of information for PSP reverse engineering. I have contacted Mathieulh to see if the forums could instead come back in a âread onlyâ fashion.
I remember one day when my site was down because of a bug, somebody posted about it on lan.st, and the admins immediately replied something along the lines of âwho cares if wololoâs blog is down for 1 day, itâll come backâ. I wish I could say the same today.
Kinda sad news but the show canât stop.
One forum closes his doors and another opens right away (or something like that).
I miss the PSP scene. I used to get so freakinâ excited whenever an exploit was announced. Now, not so much.
me too. well, i use to get home from school in the early years of the PSP 1000 release and jump on the internet to see if new exploits and homebrews were found. i still rembeer GTA eLoader exploit. so good. good days. better ones yet to come.
its sad news âŠwe all have to agree.the psp scene was so awesome! but coming back to the vita scene there are no new updates on homebrews releases also the are many scams spawning in the internet .
for example: psvitaisogames dot com
Kind of brings back memories when dark-alex.org basically closed down to đ
i remember going to that site a few times
I used to use ps2dev.org everyday, until it closed around â07âŠ
Not much of a loss as they never shared their work anyway. They had heaps of exploits they kept to themselves. They even had PS3 exploits they refused to share with the public and I bet they still have even more exploits that only they know about.
You didnât want to go there and ask a question as you would get flamed and abused all over the net not just their forum.
Worst place ever. Glad to see it closed.
I couldnât agree more!!!
they werenât even a good community they were selfish. thanks for the sum up naked faerie
NF, knowing your general behavior, I wouldnât be surprised if you get flamed everywhere you go. Lan.st was full of answers for those who did their homework and searched before asking. đ
Trust me, he does. Heâs permabanned from maxconsole thats one I know of.
Iâd like to see how you feel if you have your own and only exploit on a device and people continuously ask you to release it, knowing that if you do, youâll loose your only chance of finding another exploit in the future. Youâre just another typical *** that asks everything to be given to you and give nothing in return
yea sony released sum pretty good update⊠but the vita does seem like its taking awhile to crack.. wy i had to werdest gut instance wen i bought my vita to not update its probably from the psp n ps3 scene but i had to try the thing out but now like the psp seems like need to downgrade then upgrade to a costume fw but getting to the 1.50 or the 152 like the psp seems hard with the vita.. but makes it exciting i guess..
yea but shity cuz like the psp got fully hacked. afta the gta with like the pandora battery nice name by the way n i guess that if the psp had a lot of exploits that one would use only a few since u jus need one exploit to hack the psp the best fun i had with psp would probably be the custom xmb i had like a xbox boot theme
well idk wat site i went to one time but was like asking if it was possible to add a laptop ram to a psp or computer part to a psp n it felt weird but i guess i figured out it be easier to add psp part to a laptop weird..
Yup they sucked any ways
you know, we can tell you triple posted with different names.
fyi thatâs why all three posts have the same avatar
Thank you Dear Current Captain obvious. None of us noticed in fact I think you can also be a 2nd Einstein or a Shurlock combs cause your intupritation skills are unmatched!
Is there still a PSP scene?
Yes we stil have a PSP scene, maybe not as active as before because all is unlocked, but homebrews are stil there and poping up from time to time. eCFW for VITA is there which is essentially PSP scene stuff.
The PSP scenes is the most complete scene that exists, no other console or portable device has this level, we have tons of homebrew, exploits, cracks, LCFW, CFW, i mean 4 stable CFW?? thats just great. I wish i could say the same for PS3 as no stable CFW exists there because those are only mods for the 3.55 geohotz stuff.
bumers as i have a ps3 on 4.41 but i think in 4.41 there like network boot i guess so pretty weird all i now i turn my ps3 on n the themes like the psp vita or sum windows xp looking thing then the theme i have loaded..
No.
Of course we do. Itâs not as active as it once was but itâs still there.
dead just as PS VitaâŠ.
stop living in the past. psp=gameboy color. lets keep it moving. nothnig to see here folks.
gameboy color is 3 generations behind its current gen successor, psp is only one, so thatâs a horrible comparison, oh and if youâre living in the past, what the heck are you doing on a psp hacking site?
think its more like the gameboy color was like the psp n the vita like the 3ds or ds
you were a mistake.
@ acid_pussy
seems to be up for me.
Mathieulh put it back up after I wrote the article đ
right on
shity thing i guess is the sandbox psp in the vita n well having a *** load of home brew for the psp.
close or delete this article its back up already you fool. make a new article celebrating its comback. pshh @wololo
âUpdate: the forums are still closed but the content is now available in a read-only wayâ
I know how incredible difficult it is to read, especially the first sentence of a article but at least ask for help next time before insulting someone. đ
