Spyder2314 is a PSP/Xbox hacker that has been in the scene since 2005. Well not a coder, he is most famous for his demonoid XBMC releases. He recently has been promoted on www.penhacks.net. in July 2010, he was bumped up from a supermod to a Full Administrator. and tries make posts frequently as possible as he is busy alot. His expertise is mostly xbox hardware and software hacking, but he knows more about the PSP scene then most people. He is the head of Team SpYdEr; He and His "partner-in-crime" DarK3n as well as DoubleAA25, are currently the only members.

UPDATE OCT 6th:

SpYdEr2314 is now owner of penhacks.net.

TEAM SPYDER:

Team SpYdEr was a project thought up for his Halo 2: SpYdEr Edition project as a way to lighten the load when developing the maps. One member Raven and Shay, joined but was kicked because he "disappeared off of the face of the planet." Other members, H20_N20 and his brother (alias currently unknown) joined but were only half serious and were eventually kicked. Team SpYdEr is looking for members but it is invite only. Update: He is accepting new members, apply here-> http://forums.penhacks.net/Thread-Team-SpYdEr-is-RECRUITING

Team SpYdEr is composed of SpYdEr2314, DoubleA and DarK3n; both worked on XBMC together, as well as the Halo mod projects.

XBMC Projects:

His demonoid only XBMC releases are going through a major overhaul. they started in 2009 but weighed around 800 megabytes; something his fans complained about frequently. He has plans to lighten them but details are on a NTK (Need to know) basis.

The over haul was a complete success. SpYdEr has lightened the SLACK3R PACKS to a stunning 150mb! The theme packs are now optional so users don't have to download the same themes over and over again and over all his fans seem pretty happy with this change.

Other projects:

He does a Program install disc he likes to call the "Apptacular Installer." This disc has a fuckton of application installers and wallpapers and it is particularly useful for fresh Windows installs when no internet connection is available. His first release (1.0) had over 1000 different wallpapers, and his second (1.5) was double that amount. The next release he wants to put out has over 4000 different wallpapers and features over 100 apps.

He plans to Port XBMC to the PSP, but his lack of knowing c++ has stopped him. He is going to school currently to learn some programming and plans to start the project in spring 2011.

Through the grapevine, rumor has it that he wants to complete some of the open source Xbox emus and start patching and squashing bugs in the code. Still unconfirmed tho, he has said somethings about it if you dig hard enough.
