he's a great person. I dunno if you've noticed my compiles on the site, but he taught me how to compile originally with his homebrew store on the ps4. I've really learned a lot since then.
That's amazing... His Chinese translations of the PS3 CFW has many problems and needs to be improved so I'm trying to contact him

best way to get in contact with him afaik, is his discord server, pkg-zone. he doesn't provide game pkgs, just homebrew, so don't worry about it being illegal or wrong.
