lol... You spent weeks asking about becomeing a member and then when you were you disapeered and did nothing and only surfaced again once the protection was broke. You did not provide anything that wasent already known either, in fact I dont think you provided anything apart from show you had some basic knowledge.

In fact there was noone on the original CPS2 shock team that did or provide anything which helped my attack apart from CrashTest who helped with PC side software. If you remember right they all wanted a hardware attack approach while I was the only one who wanted a software based attack.
