News/release from Cobra11Merderer

If you want to try this, do so at your own risk.
--------------(THIS WILL ALSO FIX THE RECOVER LIGHT ISSUE)--(BACK UP YOUR FLASH0 FOR LATER REFERENCE)---------------

This fix is for PSP systems that have the brightness problem. To test if you PSP has the brightness problem, you can either:

1. Start a 1.50 firmware homebrew program on your PSP (like an emulator) and press the brightness button a few times.

2. Access recovery mode and press the brightness button a few times. <- probably the easiest way to check. PSPs with the brightness problem will have the backlight in the recovery mode or homebrew games go in reverse: e.g the Backlight may go: 4, 3, 2, 1, off or 3, 2, 1, off instead of 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 3, 4 as the PSP should normally do. (Note: 1 is the dimmest settings and 4 is the brightest setting)

If your PSP doesn't have this 'brightness problem' you do not need to apply this fix.

Applying this will also fix a small 'clock' bug: Before applying the fix, when the time is 12:xx AM or 12:xx PM and you are running 1.50 homebrew, when you press the 'home' button the clock will show 0: xx AM / 0: xx PM after applying this fix you will see 12: xx AM / 12: xx PM instead.

This modification uses 128kb of your flash0 and uses unencrypted versions of 3 files from 2.70 instead of the 3 files from 1.50. You will need to re-apply this fix everytime you install a new custom firmware. e.g if you update from 3.10 OE-A to 3.40 OE-A you need to apply the fix. You shouldn't need to re-apply the fix after minor updates like 3.10 OE-A to 3.10 OE-A'.
(YOU CAN APPLY THIS TO 3.51M33 IT WILL WORK)
(DO NOT APPLY TO 3.51M33-7 OR UP)

1. Download the 'Brightness.rar' and extract it to a folder on your Desktop.

6. Open 'My Computer' and single right click the new 'Drive Letter' ( e.g Removable Disk E: ) and choose "Properties"

7. Check that the 'Free Space' left is 128kb (131072 bytes) or higher. The space left on 3.10 OE-A' should be about 400kb and 3.40 OE-A is about 240kb If you have 128kb or more free space on flash0: then you will have enough space to apply this fix. Press 'Cancel' to close the 'Properties' window.
