Dear all,

While I try my very best to keep PDRoms running as free and hopefully informative news source, my energy level is now at a level where it’s time for a battery refill – if a refill is possible at all.

I’ve been forcing myself the past weeks to keep things in the way they are, but they are just an additional load of things to do. For my very own sake and the sake of my family I’ve to pull the emergency break now.

PDRoms has two valuable helping hands, Kedo and Celeth, who will hopefully help out with news and further develop and improve the page itself.

Regards
Kojote

Dear Skeeners,

Due to circumstances out of my control I have no choice, but to inform you of the bad news. TehSkeen is lost. Therefore, due to internal and external reasons I am leaving the “scene”. It.s been a hell of a ride and five years is a long time to work on something you enjoy to have it just vanish. TehSkeen had a vision and I hope someday someone else will follow this vision. I.m not giving up just moving on. I hope you all can understand this and if you can’t I’m sorry. There are other sites out there with similar morals and content that you can be a part of. Farewell.

Kind Regards,

Brakken

libhomebrew is the idea to create an abstract homebrew library, unifying access to different hardware, making it easy to port homebrew from one console to another. Please help making this idea real!
