Over on Dark_AleX's website, it seems we're about to give a fond farewell to the kernel that's been a part of thehomebrew scene for the longest time: the 1.50 kernel.
Alek, one of the admins of dark-alex.org, posted a recent entry detailing the means by which one could adapt what they know into the 3.xx kernel era. In his entry, he writes,
Due to the almost sure probability to abandon 1.50 kernel on future releases 'cause of better compatibility and security on 3.xx/4.xx, some new devs were asking me how to port their knowledges to 3.xx kernel, and of course also their own apps.
He advises them to visit this particularps2dev entry by CpuWhiz in the hopes of porting what they've already done to 3.xx functionality. Furthermore, he explains,
But anyway, does this change to superior kernels is necessary? Indeed it is. It allows a greater range of thinks (sic) that can be done, plus solving tons of problems on 1.5 kernels. Therefore, having the oportunity (sic) to use this ones with the actual cfws, why not to do so? Open to debate.
It's an exciting time for the homebrew scene, seeing as there'snew technology coming out and people are learning to adapt to the new ways of doing things. While most people will certainly miss what can be called "the good old days," we can certainly look forward to what homebrewers have in store for us using the newer kernels.
Man did I call this or what?
Bye Bye 1.50.
