Having some difficulty with running some of Hold+’s functions on your PSP since it updated to version 2.6? Don’t worry – Torch has also caught wind of its issues, and has released build v2.61 as a fix.

In case you’re a new reader, Hold+ is a homebrew plugin that enables you to save your PSP’s battery life by switching off its LCD backlight and actual LCD screen, and underclocking its CPU. All this is possible just by setting’s your unit’s power switch to Hold.

Version 2.61 in particular should address a problem that interfered with the plugin’s Analog Up features (quoting the readme):

Fixed a bug that was introduced in v2.6 that caused the control input buffer to completely fill up, hence causing the Analog Up features not to work in Hold mode, when the plugin was used for an extended period of time.

Those interested in using this plugin will first want to check the readme included with the file bundle for instructions on installation and controls. You may also want to visit Torch’s release thread at the QJ.NET PSP Development Forum if you’re interested in leaving your feedback.
