is this a joke? thats not a script, its a one-liner of mfw settings. i know news has been slow this year, but just wow to this one.

I see this is entered into the monthly contest, well as 1 of 2 major contributors to ORIGINAL/OFFICIAL ps3mfw builder, I contest that.

I just knew someone would bring up the simplicity of this shell script. I never stated that this was a major release, I just notice in the recent release of ps3mfwbuilder that the shell script named "create_cfw_355.sh" and had not had 4.xx support shell script even though that version added 4.xx support. So I gathered the all options command names in the task that were required to generate an 4.xx MFW PUP. I wrote this in 10-15 min, in fact, my initial release was not intended for the contest, I in fact did not enter it, until @tthousand ask me if I wanted to and I thought to myself why not? I knew it was a little script and it was only meant for people that might have wanted it, I don't even care if it was front paged, because like I said, it was only meant for anyone who may have wanted to use it.

Know why everytime someone simply released something little to help the little things that may only be intended for a small group of people has to be bashed? Is it because it was not a big ol' release that is gonna change the whole entire scene? IDK.

If something is contest worthy or not worthy will be figured out by the votes. if you don't feel its contest worthy you simply don't vote, if you feel it is you vote for it then the entry that gets the most votes wins so the community decides.

really a simple process

Sorry to hear you took the longest manner possible to gather the command-line options, you do realize the options selected are part of the standard log output right? That was done as a "poor man's" method of saving options so during testing the time-consuming task of selecting options was not necessary.

sure, at least you did not call the resulting PUP a release, and enter THAT into the contest. You see hundreds of hours have gone into the development and testing of ps3mfw builder, to make it as simple as possible. Initially by a small group of people, and since release, by MANY people. All of that work was done for FREE, and released to the world for FREE, seeing that work entered into a contest by someone that was not involved initially, or even after release is a real slap. You would not be the first to try and "steal" the work and sell it as your own, last year someone sold a PUP for $150 to this very website.

The only "bash" in this thread is the script itself.

Oh I guess I was not clear enough in articulating WHY I take issue with this as an entry in this contest on this site. Its not that I feel it is or is not worthy, I KNOW it does not meet rule #2.

"2. In order to qualify for entry the release must be new, reside in the PSX-Scene forums and can not be copied or originate from any other sites"

There are at least 2 reasons, first its not new, and second the only way it could be considered new in any way is from updates that did not originate on this site. I know news is slow for you and you need to get eyeballs to the site for your revenues, but that WILL NOT take place with PS3MFW Builder. Its not your copyright.

@an0nym0us, mistakes are always going to be made. If not, how would anyone ever learn anything?

The truth is, we end users don't know as much as you devs do... and don't think devs are mods here, it's just us above-average end users.

So sometimes we do stuff that you guys don't agree with, and possibly infuriates you guys. We don't mean to, but we here at PSX-Scene are always trying to keep things moving forward; meaning, we will always try to reconcile our wrongs, and do what is best for the scene.

That being said, I appreciate the background info on this release from @an0nym0us, and me and the rest of the moderation team will discuss what actions need to be taken.

Thank you @an0nym0us and @PsDev for all of you contributions to the scene, and to our site

It's alright, people probably still hate on geohot too. Like he even knows or cares. So much hate to go around, that Star Wars empire ISH ain't no joke

At least everything is being handled well here, like it was before geohot/free-cfw hit and blew this thing to kingdom come. I only hope people can get back to just congratulating people or ignoring each other.

you're obviously wrong.
1. i can't see whats being handled well here
2. making money with other ppl's work who gave it for free is called SCAM :P
3. scam must not be ignored/tolerated
4. that script will create a nice brick PUP if you use it on OFW. give it a try (congratulations in advance)
5. a reliable news site should verify stuff before posting it

Thanks for the constructive criticism. But I think you are OBVIOUSLY WRONG.

I disagree about this being a scam. It is PsDev's own work. True, he made it for use with something someone else made... but still, it's his.

About their being issues with this release... THAT IS STATED IN THE ARTICLE.

Now that your issues have been handled, anything else to add? (I just noticed your title says "account deleted". I hope you didn't just spam me!)

As you can see, we are still handling things better than ever over here. We stay positive, and promote healthy communication. We are not here to be police, we are here to keep things running smoothly. We are not devs, we are end users. So give us a break. Unless you are doing it better yourself... Well, then that would be something, wouldn't it?

nope, it isn't. without testing i can tell you that it will brick using OFW and fail to create a PUP using CFW. its just a pointless "release".

test releases before posting news.

Here is a quote directly from the article: "If you have any problems with this script, please feel free to contact me so I can correct the error/glitch (Contact: Twitter, @RealPsDev)"

Again, just because we report on the news, doesn't always mean we understand it 100%. As I said before in this thread, we are end-users... And not devs.

If I am wrong about something, then I will try to make amends for it. You say the article needs a warning. Fine, I will add the information you have presented to the article. Thank you

Now which are you having a problem with, OFW or CFW, or both? And more importantly, have you contacted PsDev about the situation?

you don't seem to get my point.
if you don't understand things you post, you should verify (TEST) them before posting news or ask someone that does understand it, but i won't go deeper into ethics and standards of journalism...

read my previous post again and if you don't get it, once more. lol

It's funny, everyone always knows the best way for other people to live... but what about yourselves?

And yes, I have contacted people before to clarify things, to give other end users better understanding of what things do.

But this situation is different. You must understand this script was made for an UN-STABLE version of MFW. Did you catch that... unstable? Meaning guess what... you are using it at your own risk when you use it.

A warning has been added to the article, for people who are having the same problem you are with the current information available on the internet (which is something I just figured would be known if you are using cfwprophet's unstable build).

And lastly, I hope you are not trying to talk down to me. I don't think it is cute, and I have not treated you badly here. I am appreciative of your constructive conversation you are having with me... All in all, you are just looking out for the rest of us.

@PsDev has politely requested this release not be included in this months contest.
