* Hector Martin "marcan", the Asahi project lead. marcan is a seasoned reverse engineer and developer with more than 15 years of experience porting Linux and running unofficial software on undocumented and/or closed devices. This is his most ambitious project yet, and he is funding the effort via [community donations and sponsorship](/support). His previous projects include [PS4 Linux](https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-linux), a Linux port to the proprietary hardware found on the PS4, capable of full 3D acceleration using OpenGL and Vulkan (radeon/amdgpu drivers; [AsbestOS](https://github.com/marcan/asbestos), a PS3 Linux bootloader for GameOS mode, and associated kernel patches to make Linux work on the PS3 Slim; and numerous contributions to the [Wii Homebrew ecosystem](https://wiibrew.org/), including being part of the team that developed [The Homebrew Channel](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel) and [BootMii](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/BootMii), documenting much of the hardware, and contributing to open homebrew SDK tooling.
