If you’re one of those people who tend to run their PlayStation Portable’s battery ragged on a regular basis, you might find developer 3r Ch4mp1‘s Power Management Plugin for your handheld rather useful.
For those of you not familiar with this program, this plugin is designed to optimize your PSP’s energy consumption while you stay on the XMB. The latest build has been configured for the 3.9x firmware series, with legacy compatibility for 3.7x and 3.8x not fully supported.
Here are the details of the new changes since our previous coverage of Power Management Plugin:
0.2.3 version
- The plugin has been fixed to work as intended with the 3.9X firmware series, legacy compatibility with 3.7X or 3.8X is not assured nor supported
- Dependence of kernel libraries has been reduced, increasing compatibility with further firmwares.
- Source code has been tidied to avoid stub dependences and functions called directly from libraries (extern-defined functions) where possible.
- Built against the latest PSPSDK
As always, don’t forget to read up on the plugin’s documentation for instructions on how to properly install it into your handheld. You can also find additional information on the program’s different features there.
