Founder of WAB (PSP Downgrader) arrested in France?

Didn't you guys read? This is a HOAX. Their site was hacked and the hackers just put up this crap on WAB's site.

Here is proof:

Well, apparently I don't read PSP Spot! =) Thanks for the info, though, Dark. The post's been updated.

the post at psp spot had been updated...it appears the wab site had been "hacked" and that alonetrio hasnt actually been arrested.

"France apparently observes Daylight Saving Time, too"

After the "wvala" thing, your knowledge of European countries, and France in particular, amazes me...

Actually it wasn't a hoax. A lot of people assumed it was, just turned out he got arrested for some other reason. Probably got into a bar fight or something.

"To avoid fuckin rumours here is some little details:

1- Thanx to my Bro to make the news to let you know i was arrested ( in case if it was psp related).

2- It was not psp related or hacking related, little personal affair.

3- It's was not fake to justify that downgrader wont be release ( it will, watch out the news Hi rez video !! shitty talkers can now shut their mouth...)Here or Here

4- It was not fake to ask more donnation, ppl that want to make Donnation can use the link in the menu, those who doesn't want do it, doesn't do it !

5- Stop saying bullshit about downgrader fake, about yoshihiro, about wab at all... We roxx this is a fact and thx all for your support..."

I love the broken English so much. Eitherway, if you have your doubts, watch the hi-rez vid(like 45mb), definitely lays any doubt to rest.

Getz me all exxxited to be roxxed by WAB.

so whos going to do the downgrader now that psp-dv and wab have fallen out? www.wab.com is no more ..... alegedly!

Um, they haven't fallen out. I was on the website this morning, homey. Where do you people hear all these rumors?

Dunno, Sendai, but the WAB site is still down (and cannot be found).

Hi , i like your article but its missing quite a lot of stuff :).So ill like to add some stuff in their. I am the owner of www.pspcrazy.com , one of the first biggest psp fan sites. And well me and my staff keep in contact with yoshi, one of wabs main devolopers. well for one alonetrio was arrested due to a persoanl reason, not anything due to hacking, and hes already been released. Second wab and psp-dev both have stopped the program, and wab is now disolved. Also yoshi the main dev. working ont he downgrader is quite tired of all the work so he has released an beta version of his downgrader up until the point where he said he couldnt work anymore due to having his hands tied to his back due to other work. His beta file is located at : http://forums.pspcrazy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10558

Also another thing is here is his message he left for us at our forum.

These are for continuing the project, source files, Yoshi was stuck..

Quote from Yoshihiro:
Quote:
CAUTION! THE DOWNGRADER DOES NOT GO!

It will not break your psp, but it does not go, therefore these files
are thus reserved for those which wish to continue the work of
Yoshihiro.

Stage 1: You will need 2 memory stick. Copy the files present in the
repertory "Memory Stick 1" from your first Memory Stick and the files
of the repertory "Memory Stick 2" from your second memory stick.

Stage 2: Launch the downgrader starting from first Memory Stick, a
white screen will appear. As soon as this one leaves place with a
black screen, press 3 times the switch of your PSP to put your PSP in
hibernation mode. To leave the first memory stick and to replace it by
the second. Relight your PSP, and you will have to see a message
indicating that all occurs correctly and that it is the update towards
the firmware 1.50 which is in hand. Here the last stage to which
Yoshihiro remains blocked.

Let us hope that developers will succeed in circumventing this
problem.
