I was more popular originally on Xbox Hacker BBS. I was a very popular poster on there. I started then posting on Xbox-Scene, posting news for the administrators on there. And then on another site for the PlayStation, it was called PSX-Scene. I was a very popular poster on there, and I started working with the administrator at that site.

And I was there when GeoHot, if you remember George Holtz, he found the original, what they called a root key for the PlayStation 3. He posted it publicly on PSX Staff Scene. And that caused that site to take off, skyrocket, go from 100,000 users per day to a million users per day. There was lawsuits involved. By the time that happened, I was actually hosting that website for the administrator.

And then Sony cracked down hard. They went after GeoHalt. There was court orders. I started posting all of what was happening in the court case. There was actually at one time a movie deal being worked. People thought that George Halt would fight Sony, go all the way. And unfortunately, he decided to settle. And that was the end of it.

I never met him in person. Not ever, ever? Never. No, never seen him in person. I know what he looks like from his Instagram and Facebook posts, and I know what his voice sounds like from phone calls I had with him, but I've never actually met him in person. But I was introduced to him via the original owners of PSX Scene. They...

They knew him, so they introduced me to him, and we had some phone calls, and then he said, look, I need someone to run the site. You can do whatever you want with the site as long as you're available to post news when I give you information about new products that I'm going to release.

Yeah, that was one of the first resellers out there that was selling devices from Team Executor and other companies and third-party controllers and stuff. There were... I actually used them myself to buy some mod chips back in the day.

Yeah. The original idea was I could do whatever I want with the site, keep 100 percent of the ad revenue, but he wanted a couple of spots on the site just for his products. So like the top banner spot would be for his products, and whenever he had a press release made for a new product, But I had to be a variable on call, post it right away.

That way, that site would have the news first, and then everybody else would have to link to that site because of the exclusive news.

There was this craze of bringing back the older systems, the Super Nintendo, the Nintendo, the PlayStation, the Sega, many versions of those original consoles that people loved. But those systems were locked down again, and that they only had a certain selection of games. Like the PlayStation 1 Mini only had like 20 games on it.

The PlayStation 1 actually used an open-source emulator and just added their own little skin to it to select the game. So they were just taking someone else's work that they had made, an emulator that they could find on GitHub, assemble it themselves, add their own skin, and use an Android board from China above the battery or the screen to run the emulator.
