In a shocking development, PSP homebrew icon and pioneer Fanjita has announced his retirement over at his website Fanjita.org, citing trust issues as the main reason.

While no specifics were mentioned, the famed developer did say that "the betrayal of trust that preceded the Pandora release was extremely hurtful." This, he says, left him to unable to fully trust the people he previously enjoyed working hard with.

"I'm tired of the continual pressure and idiocy of the PSP scene - long gone are the fun days of pioneering amongst like minds, in a mutually supportive and gentlemanly environment," he says.

"The Pandora Battery therefore marks my last major PSP project," says Fanjita. "I expect that Team C+D and Noobz will continue to release stuff without me, and I still hope to finish up some of the non-exploit projects that I'd been working on (Installotron, piKey etc.).

Fanjita says that the he will now concentrate on fatherhood as well as non-PSP projects that he wants to explore. We'll keep you updated for more developments on this topic.
