First I have to explain that this is a bit dated. I yanked it from Archive.org. It’s mine and I finally have access to my content. I was kicked from Lockergnome by a rouge mod and his boyfriend. This post was one of mine on lockergnome.
Ok I understand that if someone wants to sell their work.
They want to be the only person making money on it. And they do not want people to be able to get the software for free. I mean why buy the cow…..
But have you noticed, no one does anything anymore.
Everyone is scared of getting arrested for tweaking files and programs. I mean the past ten years have been amazing in software development. Now it’s just down to a trickle. We aren’t moving faster and faster every time we check, anymore. Those days are gone. Kids now are scared to mod psp software because those who do and show others, get silenced fast.
I mean the most I learned was when I was wanting to make my purchased items better. Like over clocking, there are no over clocking forums left but one or two . I mean back when everyone was tweaking and modding their Xbox, we where learning so much from each other. We where passing notes and moving faster and faster. People emulated machines. Sony killed that when they created psp addons and called them “Emulators” . If you did any searches on the net for “emulator tips” you would find stupid junk that showed you how to change your back ground on your psp. I mean they did that very well I have to give them props. But my god, if it wasn’t for people modding the psp… Sony would have no idea what firmware to add to the stupid battery chugger.
So now you just have to sit around and wait on Sony to tell you what’s good.
We are getting dumber by the minute. Don’t bother asking any kids these days how to play a 360 game on a computer. They flip out and tell you you need a decompresser… blah blah blah.. It’s software.
“Encoded” means YOU think it’s unbreakable.
Where is the crowd of people who inspired others to get upset with the useless crap bundled in our gadgets?
What happened to everyone? I feel like it’s becoming a TiVo/Apple world. Where everyone just sits with their mouth open waiting to be given what ever there is to fill it.. And we like it.
Was it laziness? Did the really tech gen just get old and walk away?
Am I a dinosaur? Did everyone stop caring what it is inside their gadget that rattles when you shake it?
Is the new generation the fat gen?
Ps: Don’t share other people’s works. But share the mods you made to make them better.
