Dark-Alex, the man responsible for bringing us such programs as SE and OE firmware, the 2.6 Downgrader, and HEN-D has announced that he will no longer be active on the PSP homebrew scene. As found on Dark-Alex's home page, he had written us a farewell message…

Bye, scene.

I've decided to cease OE development, and leave PSP scene.
The reasons are various.
One of them is the time it consumes, which i'm losing from other things.
The other is related to my security. I didn't like Sony menaces to PS3 hackers.
I think it is better to leave now rather than end paying the consequences.

Rather than let ourselves get all worked up about this news, we should instead thank Dark-Alex for all the hard work and time he had given to us.

Thank you Dark-Alex, and all the best in your future endeavours.
