PSP - Image 1


CWCheat developer Weltall is back with another piece of PSP homebrew called Charge Control, a useful plugin if you want to plug your PSP into a socket but you already have a fully-charged battery.

With Control Charge, you can disable your PSP's charging functions so as to minimize the chances of overcharging and damaging your battery. Of course, batteries already have their own safeguards to keep them from overcharging, but it pays to be on the safe side, nonetheless.

To disable the PSP's charging functions, all you have to do is press L + R + Vol - (that's the minus volume button). To turn the charging functions back on, just press L + R + Vol +. This is a first release, but here's a short changelog regardless:
  • Buils for 3.7x and other firmwares
  • [ALL] Works at low priority and combinations are checked one time every second
  • [ALL] It's possible to enable and disable battery charging immediately
For installation and usage instructions, please refer to the readme file included in the download.

yeah maybe or maybe not

depends on what you need.

for example i'm annoyed that to test things with the batteries i always get them to recharge (sometimes i've even my cable slipping out and so the psp starts recharging again >_>) another use would be if you switch for example on power in car so you can avoid recharging it for little trips were you couldn't completely recharge it

you could just unplug the charger. I think that would be easier in your examples.

it will start charging and then immediately stop because you unplugged the charger. normally this isn't the best... and i couldn't get it to unplug it before the charging starts and at the same time keep the psp powered on
