Updated release from Torch:
This is a simple plugin I made a long time ago for my personal use. I just found the source code while going through some old stuff on my computer, so I thought I'd clean up the code a bit and release the plugin.
I realize that there are other plugins that feature similar functionality but I wrote my own because I wanted to be sure its coded optimally, as there are a few careless ways in which these functions can be improperly used (the point of this after all is to conserve battery life).
It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows operation of the PSP with the display turned off, to change volume, skip songs etc.
Usage:
Turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU. Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning off the hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. This is useful if you just need to adjust the volume, fast forward/rewind, or to skip to the next song, without unnecessarily turning on the display. To return to normal, just press the Screen button.
If you push the ANALOG UP button when turning on the hold switch, it will only lock the keypad like normal Hold mode. The display and CPU speed will not be changed, so that you can watch videos etc. with the keypad locked.
Installation:
You can install it in the seplugins folder, and make an entry in VSH.txt. Thus it will be active in the XMB. Its also possible to use it in games by adding it to GAME.txt, but some games may crash etc., if the CPU is underclocked to such a low value.
Optionally, its also possible to install it in your PSP's flash0 so that it will work without a memory card. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it after vshmain.prx.
Credits:
Thanks to adrahil for helping with preventing the suspend mode.
Changelog v2.6
----------------------------------
Modified the code a bit so that it should work better in GAME mode, although I don't really support using it in GAME mode.

PSP coder Dark_AleX, the man behind the famous custom firmwares and the Team M33, just released a new plugin for PSP Custom Firmware.
What does it do?
This is a plugin to fake the version that the PSP reports via USB to the PC and/or PS3. It's been made mainly to avoid the PlayStationNetwork downloader complain about firmware version.
Instructions:
- Copy the folder seplugins to the root
- Activate the plugin in the Recovery Menu.
- The plugin will fake the version to the one contained in seplugins/usbversion.txt, which
by default is set to 4.05, but you can set it to other version.
Why would I want to fake the USB version?
Well, the PSN Store has been updated to only work on firmware 4.05, and Dark_AleX won't release a Custom Firmware 4.05, because they just added a new Music Visualizer, and it can be flash to 4.01 easily.

Drakon has just posted this release:
Hi.
It's my first post here and I want to share with my small project.
I ported small Soft Body Physics library made by walaber from C# to C++. Also I made some optimizations for PSP so it's running on PSP quite nice
Here you can find vr. 0.2 beta of the library. For rendering I used pspGl (I have version with GU for rendering but it have some bugs). In demo on square and circle bodies are added, on triangle you can drag bodies. Exit is on the start button.
If someone is interested here is svn repository with c++ version for PSP and PC
I would very grateful for some advices about optimizations.

At Sony Computer Entertainment's 2008 Media Briefing, SCE announced its long-awaited video download service. Its partners include Fox, MGM, Lionsgate, Warner, Disney, Paramount and Turner. This service includes movies, TV and much more. Separating this from other video services, the video will all be able to be transferred to the PlayStation Portable.
As far as pricing goes, TV shows will be available in both HD and SD, starting at $1.99. Movies start at $2.99 for rental, and $9.99 to buy. The download service browser is quite similar to the PlayStation Network front end, so those used to buying games on the service will be familiar with the interface. The service offers a video preview of its content (which can be full-screened), and also lists details such as run time, language and description. It should take about
1 hour for a 2-hour movie to download, and the service offers progressive download to watch video as it's streaming in.
Movies demoed for the service include 3:10 to Yuma, Reservoir Dogs. The Eye, The Terminator , SuperBad, Spider-Man, Rambo, Cloverfield, The Bank Job, Spiderwick, Naponlean Dynamite and many more.
Surprising the audience, SCE announced that the service will launch tonight, July 15th – if you have further questions on the service's integration, you can check it our yourself when the service launches this evening.

Sony has announced that, from September, the 80GB PS3 model will be available for the same price as the 40GB version in the US ($399), which means the firm is effectivly getting rid of the 40 package.
There's still no word on whether or not the 80GB version will make the journey to Europe and the UK.
If you ask us, it'll happen one day though. Either way, we got the 60GB version, so we're all good thanks.

At the E3 2008 Sony Press Conference, Jack Tretton unveiled news about the PSP system. Among these is a new PSP title by Sony Bend, Resistance: Retribution.
The game is a completely new game in the Resistance line.
The trailer shown at the conference presented some of the gameplay for the third-person action shooter. The game appears to be set between the first and second games, and features levels that appear to be France.
There were familiar weapons and shields from the first game, and most of the enemies look similar too, along with some that were shown in the Resistance 2 trailer.
Resistance: Retribution is set to release in Spring 2009.

One of the more interesting services to be announced for the PSP has just gone live in the UK & Ireland, allowing owners to access a new video-on-demand service with Sky, beginning with a 1-month free trial.
Users will be able to access content from Disney-ABC-ESPN Television, BBC Worldwide, Sony Pictures Television International, NBC Universal International Television Distribution, National Geographic and Sky Sports. The service is PC-based and uses the Kontiki peer-to-peer software for downloading programmes which can then be transferred to your PSP. What, no Wi-Fi access to download directly to the PSP?
It will come served up in three subscription packs: Comedy, Sport and Entertainment and no, it will not be free after that 1 month trial. The packs cost £5 per month for 1, £8 for 2 and £10 for all 3. There's also something called Rental TV which allows you to skip the monthly fee and just download the programmes you want. TV episodes cost from £1.50 per episode and movies from £2.50 each.
According to Sony and Sky:
"Programming will range from US dramas such as library series’ of Lost and Desperate Housewives (produced by ABC Studios) to hit UK shows such as Doctor Who and Top Gear (from BBC Worldwide) through to FA Premier League football action and blockbuster movies."
New content will be added regularly throughout the summer. With many of you PSP owners, will you be checking it out? Find out more here.

The first ever proper in-game footage of BioShock running on PS3 has emerged for Sony boys to feast their eyes on.
After months of rumours, BioShock was finally confirmed for Sony's console in late May, bringing more than a few smiles to the faces of PS3 owners.
Not a great deal has been said about the supposedly enhanced PS3 version since then, so we know you'll be pleased to see how it's running on the new hardware.
Check out the video for yourself right here.

Newly released today:
Aizaki Koi is the granddaughter of the head of the board of directors in Tenjou Gakuen, an elitist boys school. One day when she was walking home from school, two strange men in black beckoned to her, telling her there is something her grandfather wishes to speak to her about.
At first, she was skeptical about the purposes of these men, however, when the voice of her crush and cousin Hayami Naohito calls out to her, she losts her skepticism and blindly follows them to the car. When she realizes they have taken her to her grandfather's school, she knows something is wrong.
But it is too late, for her grandfather has already dealt his damage. He has taken her out of her old school and enrolled her into his boys school to prove to the board of directors that changing the boys school to a co-ed system is good for the school's development.
Koi is obviously opposed to the idea and her grandfather's way of doing things, but the violent outbursts from the board of directors inflames her and before she knew it, she has decided to join her grandfather on his little crusade.
Being an only girl in a boys school gives Koi and the players plenty of opportunities to (re)experience teenage romance. But aside from romance, can the strong willed Koi change the board of directors' minds about the school system?
Takuyo's comedic dating simulation game HimeHibi: Princess Days Portable for Sony PSP™ is in stock today, shipping as a region free Japanese version for US$ 58.90 only.
