View your battery percentage from the XMB with the Battery PRX

Posted Feb 20, 2007 at 11:05AM EST by QJ Staff

Homebrew shells such as iR Shell have an integrated battery monitor which tells you what percentage your battery is at. This can be very useful as you can see exactly how much power your PSP has before it runs out of juice.

Conventional battery icons just don't cut it when you only have 1 bar and it's the final level of the game you've been trying to complete for ages - you need to know exactly how much time you have left. That's why the creator of Flash Agent, Hallo007 has released a new PRX for custom firmware users.

Currently, this battery PRX only shows the percentage of battery life when you press the note key, but Hallo007 plans to add more features in future versions now that he has the hang of making PRX's. This is his first PRX and therefore there may be a couple of bugs in this release. It has already been noted that the screenshot PRX uses the note key to operate as well, but this will all be fixed in future versions.

To install the battery PRX, simply copy the extracted folders into the SEPLUGINS folder, make a vsh.txt and enable it in recovery mode.

if this was permanently on, repositionable, and colored. Then we could flash a battery icon that transparent and place this in its position. Or better yet, integrate it into the psp flash and have it fully replace the battery icon. Then it would be something to get excited about. As for now, its not as if your dying to know how much battery is left when your in the XMB, its when your in game that its a problem. Making this fairly useless.

# flashing text — Guest 2007-02-20 23:52

when i press the note button i can see the text that indicates battery percentage but it its flashing at an incredible rate and proving difficult to read. i have 3.10 latest with vshex.prx and bc.prx enabled in xmb. anyone else having the same issues?

# Nice app! - problems in Flash Agent! — Guest 2007-02-21 01:16

love both your apps, BUT in Flash Agent 3 there is a problem. i redirect the route to the custom gameboot at the MS. and i debranded the PMF, but when i change the coldboot sound (also opening_plugin.rco where FA3 is editing the debrand and route) i still got the right gameboot, but it aint debranded any more...? and if i then debrand the gameboot i lose my coldboot sound?

some thing you can fix?

great work by the way!!!

# you could change the button layout for capture.prx — Guest 2007-02-21 03:40

all you have to do is open the capture.ini with a text editor and edit it to this:

ScreenShot = PSP_CTRL_SELECT + PSP_CTRL_LTRIGG ER

VideoStartNorma l = PSP_CTRL_SELECT + PSP_CTRL_RTRIGG ER

VideoStartAdvan ced = PSP_CTRL_SELECT + PSP_CTRL_LTRIGG ER + PSP_CTRL_RTRIGG ER

VideoStop = PSP_CTRL_SELECT

very good idea..i'm gonna wait for a later release where perhaps it is always on display where the battery icon normally is? and i'll try it then

looking forward to another release hopefully.

# ok — Guest 2007-02-21 04:17

its an okay prx

but when i press note i see the text flashing all the time and sometimes it wont go away , only after I press a few times on note again

# huh — Guest 2007-02-21 09:50

Im sure your mother will be extreemly proud of you for coming 1st in something in your life.

# yah — Guest 2007-02-21 09:55

must feel good, you make it sound as this was you'r first time being 1'st in you'r life. how sad. would hate to be you.

# Sorry, not good enough... — Guest 2007-02-21 10:23

As for this weekends release of PSEvolve, this PRX will NOT be included because its so glitchy and very incompatible.

When things are sorted out, I will probably release PSEvolve with V2 or an Update.

Thanks,

NG

# Very nice — Guest 2007-02-21 11:06

Not the first nice app or add-on for the PSP that we've seen from Hallo007.Very nice Hallo007,keep it comin' !
