Is it possible to set the screen brightness below 28 (the number prxutility++ currently allows)? Im often using bookr on my PSP to read pdf's and with inverted text/background colors, the screen still is to bright for dimmed environments.

I'd very much appreciate it.

I'm wondering if it's possible to enable wlan with this?
Guess not...Is it possible?

[pspflashsystem]

No but thanks for your idea: I will add this in the next version :)

[p0p5ux]

No but thanks for your idea: I will add this in the next version :)

Thanks that would be great. I'm having a problem with my switch and...well i dont wanna pay just to get the switch to work again...

[notimp]

For now, it isn't possible to set the screen brightness below 28 :)

Can I hope for that to change in the next version? *pleeeeeease* ;)

Also looking forward to the WLAN enabling option, I've exactly the same problem (broken WLAN switch) on one of my PSPs. :)

[pspflashsystem]

No it's impossible

[tanimr2002]

its not working on my psp..i copied the prx to seplugin folder..then enabled the prx ..but nothing happened..

[pspflashsystem]

You must extract all the archive of prxutility++.rar to your Memory Stick root
Else What's your firmware?

[notimp]

No it's impossible

Thanks for making this clear. :)

[pspflashsystem]

No problem ;)
If a person see some bugs or freeze please inform me thanks

[Flamingwolf]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember using CFE and the vsh menu in Team Wildc*rd's LE firmwares letting the brightness get all the way to 1 [0 actually.]

Hi
Unfortunately, No : indeed with cfe, if the brightness is less than 28, the backlight Auto-off seems to be activated...

[wiiguy]

i dont kn ow if this will be possible for you plugin or if i am even at the right place

so here is my question : is it possible to to play music just trough the vsh and play a game @ teh same time

[pspflashsystem]

No but you can do it with custom firmware extender by cpasjuste :)

[McCabe]

No it's impossible

Couldn't you just blit a black rectangle over everything and change its opacity? It wouldn't change the brightness per say but it would be more easier on the eyes I would imagine :)

[pspflashsystem]

Not bad idea :)
I will see if I can do that with VshBlitter :)
