Plugin Features

This plugin has been designed and coded to optimize the energy consumption of
the PSP while we stay in the XMB.

This plugin has 4 main functions described here.

  • Music Mode: To activate this mode you have to press L+R, this performs anunderclock to 60Mhz for the CPU and 30 Mhz for the main system bus, suitable to listen to your Mp3 and even ATRAC music files. Pressing again L+R will set the CPU/Bus speeds to the ones you had previously configured.
  • ToggleIdle: This mode disables the autoidle feature of the console (not of the screen) this mode can be toggled on/off by pressing R+START, useful when watching pictures of any kind (even porn! xD).
  • PowerLock: Pressing R+NOTE you will block the console power switch in order to prevent an accidental turn off of the system, if you toggled it on and you attempted to turn off the console it will simply don’t, but when you unlock it, the console automatically will turn off (if you did not touch the power switch it will unlock but it won’t turn off the system).
  • Black Screen Mode: Pressing L+START we turn off the PSP Screen until we press L+START again, the screen will turn on and set itself with the previous brightness level we had. Useful used toghether with Music Modeit can save you a lot of battery!
  • Software full power off: Pressing R+SELECT, the system will turn off totally, this feature was too easy to implement, I left this here because you liked it, and if it is useful to someone I won’t remove it.

To prevent issues like console hang ups, execute all the modes in the root of the XMB.

Suggestions, bug reports and new features to implement are welcome, leave me them in this post or better

Don’t forget to leave me a greeting for my birthday in August 24 it’s the only thing I demand from you!

Black Screen Mode

According to the suggestions made by the users of the Power Management Plugin i’ve implemented a new function, which used together with the Music Mode can extend a lot the battery life.

This is useful when listening to music, because it turns off the screen and it will not turn again unles you press L + R, so you can control the music playing, go reverse, forward, skip the current track…

This feature has been fully implemented and will be part of the 0.2 release along with other features in whick i’m currently working, so stay tuned!

Power Management Plugin 0.1

PSP

Hi friends, i’m starting my own developer blog with this release, dedicated to all my friends and over all to the girl, the only who has loved and loves me, for you Mariloli.

This plugin has been designed and coded to optimize the energy consumption of
the PSP while we stay in the XMB.

This plugin has 4 main functions described here.

-Music Mode: To activate this mode you have to press L+R, this performs an
underclock to 60Mhz for the CPU and 30 Mhz for the main system bus, suitable
to listen to your Mp3 and even ATRAC music files. Pressing again L+R will set
the CPU/Bus speeds to the ones you had previously configured.

-ToggleIdle: This mode disables the autoidle feature of the console (not of the screen)
this mode can be toggled on/off by pressing R+START, useful when watching pictures of any kind
(even porn! xD).

-PowerLock: Pressing R+NOTE you will block the console power switch in order to prevent an accidental
turn off of the system, if you toggled it on and you attempted to turn off the console it will simply
don’t, but when you unlock it, the console automatically will turn off (if you did not touch the power switch
it will unlock but it won’t turn off the system).

-Software full power off: Pressing R+SELECT, the system will turn off totally, something like this was done by
Test30 in his fastpower plugin, and this is what i’ve done in 4-5 Hours…

To prevent issues like console hang ups, execute all the modes in the root of the XMB.
