Tehskeen is no more

if you don´t know already this was the site most of the emulators and homebrew stuff for the gamecube came from. I just hope this isn't the end for gamecube emulation.

Why what happened?? They didn't left a message or anything.

It appears to be gone for good now. R.I.P.
I did appreciate the way Brakken kept up on the various releases in the homebrew scene.

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
There's a discussion thread over at gbatemp.net regarding why it happened.

This makes me sad. I've only been using their site for the last two years but it had the best information when it came to developing homebrew for the Wii and Gamecube.

I'm sure the members will move on to another site though. Hopefully most of the information that was hosted there will be re-uploaded and re-posted elsewhere.

Yup, one and the same.

Hmm, am I the only one that thinks that he might try again?
