I just wanted to point something out to everyone that I just realized. This may sound dumb, but I have been playing my emulators with a UMD disk in my PSP.

I don't know if anyone is aware of this, but if you have a UMD disk in your PSP, it will constantly spin with the KXPloit. I didn't realize it did this till my wife told me to lower the volume on the PSP, and I heard the UMD spinning.

So all this time I thought that running emus at 333mhz was killing my battery, while in actuallity it was the combination of 333mhz and the UMD spinning. So if you want to save your battery, take out your UMD.

That's great info.

But I haven't had a UMD disk in my psp SINCE the xploit came out. Who needs hotshots or wipeout when you have the greatest games of all time in a handheld? Muhaha!

Hmmmm, this could possibly be another cause to the heat ups.

The last week or so my UMD drive seems redundant, can't think of anything good to put in there right now.

Nice spotting though.

That Might be it, b/c in UMD games it loads for about 20 sec and then doesn't read the disk until you are done with that level/area. Good observation!

hmmm interesting, i myself have a UMD in my PSP while running the emus. if you go to the battery options in the system menu, does that represent an average of how much battery life you have left depending on what you were playing before? because that would be a good way to test this theory
