[Release]Power Management Plugin

[3r Ch4mp1]

Hi folks, some days ago I thought on beginning with plugins, and I coded this plugin in a few hours expecting this can be useful for someone, for using it or simply for learning on how to code a plugin, because sources are bundled.

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.

people prefer to play homebrew on their psp and use useful plugins why would you either want to underclock ur psp or mess with power off functions as the psp does not consume much battery while in the xmb anyway ????

load of c,. R., a,.P

Are you retarded?

You are an idiot. This plugin is very useful. You can save the battery life when you are listening to music and whatnot. If the CPU is set to around 30MHZ, you can squeeze around 18-24 hours out of the battery which is something I tested back when 2.71 HEN was around.

[Korlithiel]

Since the irsmp3 can be used for changning clock speeds that feature may not be so useful for me.

The toggle idle and the powerlock though are useful features. I would like to see most of this implemented into the next version of mp3prx v04f since I use that rather often and it is a better choice overall but this is a nice plug-in for the features it has.

Before I use it I have to ask, are you sure it's stable?

As for underclocking the xmb - the more battery you can get out of your psp so you can listen to music the better, especially when your out and can't charge it! I happen to think this is a great plugin, especially since the source was also provided so anyone can customize it (for instance i'm running 3.40* LE firmware and the combo select + r trigger of this plugin conflicts with the xmb recovery but the source is there so it can be altered)!

People enjoys trolling, and i'm happy if it is useful for someone, it was designed to work with 3.52 M33-2 but, if you have another firmware, as said by xfile087 you only need to adapt and recompile sources...

Like your homebrew then?

Very nice release, thanks.

[ghostENVY]

im using it

[HippyG]

Awesome, good job although I use light mp3 for my music. keep up the good work.

I'm using it. Its actually a useful plugin cause it saves some battery power.

Listen only to constructive criticism, forget about flamers, don't let them bother you.

Keep up the good work!

@xfile087: can you post the modified files?!

i find this plugin very useful, and i´m using the 3.40LE too..

Just tell me what button combos you want and i'll make an 3.40LE build of the plugin

Finally I'll follow your advice radioactive_X

Sure!Don't listen to retards

[LogiKz]

Lol Dont listen to anyone, this program is pretty cool man
I plan on learning how to make plugins within the next couple of months so I might run to you if i can't get something right :]

[bhunter]

This is a great idea, I just wish I had it last weekend when I was on a 22 hour flight to the USA for work .

In music mode, does it kill the screen too?

And yes, before anyone says it I know you can hold the screen button to acheive this. I just thought it would be nice if this killed the screen and an accidental button press would not bring it back. I hate using the keylock because half the time you turn the keylock off you turn the damn PSP off

[FaT3oYCG]

ok im sorry i didnt see the point but i do now sorry if i affended u or anyone else

[keedier]

this plugin rocks.. but the problem is its getting in the way of my other plugin... (L and R moves the xmb thingie) is there any way i can change the button config...

can i hexedit this? ill try to practice with button change using hex only...

heres a request if u would love to improve ur plug-in i think its great by the way
maybe u should add an auto feature in which when u enter the music menu or play a song the mhz switch to a native lower speed to save enerygy and so fourth with the pictures and video .So that u dont have to worry about switching them (options)

No need for hex editing, you only need to change the source code to your needs and then recompile it, just simple as that!

I'll try to improve the music mode with those suggestions you've made me, the screen kill and the auto underclocking. If the pspsdk is capable to do that i will do it.

what does this function?

[3r Ch4mp1]

It avoids that the console shuts down, but it not avoids the screen turn off!

[madmarf]

thanks a lot for the nice supply, i would like to change only the R & L Trigger Buttons..
found the line in the sourcecode and i think i know how change them but i didnt find any easy way to compile it without installing various SDKpackages etc.

is there any way to compile sources like this with a simple commandline-compiler, i am still a noob in compiler things..
and if no, do you know a small sized prog to compile or is there a recommended prog from your side?!

thanks a lot, and sorry for the little offtopic..

[3r Ch4mp1]

You must use the psp toolchain for cygwin/linux to compile, but there are other alternatives like pspdev or devkitpro, tiem ago i saw precompiled toolchains too.

Google a bit about these ones and you'll be ready to compile the sources

[madmax2]

hey 3r_ch4mp
can you add this feature to bookr
so it doesn't dim the screen ever 2minutes?

Dimming only cause the screen to go darker but it doesn't turn the screen off.

Thus you can still read the words, but it is not good for the eyes.

I would like the screen to be constantly on the brightest level without it auto dim every 2 minutes.

Much appreciated if you can do this.

[doughboyy]

sorry for this but how exactly do i install this plugin? no clue whatsoever on installing plugins and have tried to figure it out but its not working =\
(i just realized this is in the wrong forum, sorry)

Simply copy the contents of the binaries folder inside ms0:/seplugins, if you have an existing vsh.txt copy the line inside mine to the one you have, then activate the plugin inside the recovery menu.

Hope this helps you!

Currently this plugin only works in the XMB, but i'll try to improve it to work in game mode, but you'll have to activate deactivate it in recovery when you use homebrew, because it can interfere with games (when pressing L+R for example).

You all know i'm open to suggestions, and very happy of the welcome this plugin has received. If you can, post the suggestions on my new blog to centralize them in one place, thanks in advance
