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 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work
correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at
the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* 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 complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken
to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons,
if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause 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 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.
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. To return to normal, push
the power switch to the suspend position, or just press the Screen button.
While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following
buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.
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 Stick. For this you can use FreePlay's "NewBTCFNedit" and enable it for VSH mode in the all
the PSPBT?NF.bin files. Add it before vshmain.prx.
Advanced:
If you want to change the clock speed to your own values, you can use a hex editor to change them.
The offsets in the file for v3.4 are
0xD48 - CPU
0xD4C - Bus (Should be half the CPU speed or less)
The values should be entered in hexadecimal. The default value for CPU is 3C (60 MHz in decimal)
and the default value for Bus is 1E (30 MHz in decimal).
Note that simply using any arbitrary value will not work. You will have to test and see which
values for CPU and Bus speed work.
Changelog v3.41
----------------------------------
Improved faulty Hold switch protection, as there were still some chances of a faulty Hold switch
causing problems.
Changelog v3.4
----------------------------------
Fixed a problem caused by a faulty Hold switch in some PSPs. This made the CPU remain underclocked
even after turning off the Hold switch.
The problem is the Hold switch doesn't consistently return a pressed state. It sometimes rapidly
fluctuates between an Off and On signal. If this fluctuation occurs within one iteration of the
main program loop, it causes problems. Its not humanly possible to toggle the Hold switch so fast,
but a loose connection can :P

closet at 1 Times Square, a computer terminal hooked up to hordes of ethernet servers, RAID arrays
and monitors humbly runs the largest LED sign in the world. The sign, a 3-sided, 17,000-square-foot
Goliath, debuted last night at the opening of a Walgreens in New York City. Today, I got to see
what makes it tick. script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" galleryPost('walgreenssign', 3,

width="800" height="600" style="display:block;float:none;" /Each side of the sign, designed by D3
LED, requires a 48-drive RAID pumping data at a rate of 3.2GB/second to a custom-built PC. From
there, the data is fed through graphics cards to multiple DVI pipes, which lead to six DVI pixel
splitters (known as a Spyders). The splitters take video data of a specific resolution and upscale
it to the size needed for the display. Once the data is crunched and formatted for the sign, it's
sent out via 4Gbps ethernet to one of more than 12,000 display modules that make up the ginormous
billboard./p pimg src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/11/module.jpg"
align="left" hspace="4" vspace="2" width="800" height="600" style="display:block;float:none;" /Each
module is a mini-computer, complete with MAC address, redundant 4-gigabit ethernet ports, power
supply and a fan. Each panel can report all kinds of vital statistics, including its temperature.
If there's a problem, the panel reports itself to the main computer for easy troubleshooting. (Like
a good communist, it can report problems with its neighbors, too.) The majority of the electronics
are accessible from inside, so dangerous repair jobs on scaffolding suspended over Times Square are
a thing of the past./p pThe sign's modules are split into three sections, low-, medium- and
high-resolution grids based on their distance from the street. (Why waste pixels for objects way
high up?) The top, as you probably guessed, has the largest pixels, at 24mm, while the middle has
12mm and the bottom has 10mm./p pimg

hspace="4" vspace="2" width="647" height="530" style="display:block;float:none;" /The animators are
faced with a tough challenge when creating content for the signs, as they must keep the different
display sizes in mind so the animation appears cohesive throughout the sections. To help out the
animators, sign creator D3 LED made a virtual copy of it that is 10,000 pixels high by 4,000 pixels
wide, the equivalent of 43 megapixels. (It's 20 times the resolution of HD, too.) They use an Adobe
After Effects template to help coordinate placement of the animations on the slash-shaped sign./p
pa
href="http://gizmodo.com/5095474/17000-square-foot-led-billboard-flipped-on-at-1-times-square-wraps-around-entire-building"As
previously reported,/a a single 30-second spot on the billboard requires a staggering 150GB of data
transferred through the system. But before you accuse D3 and Walgreens of hogging all of the power
in New York, they attest that they are not. With the Con Ed bill in mind, their design reduced
unnecessary copper wiring by over 300,000 feet and increased the voltage for more efficient power.
They also set up an auto-dimmer (like you might have on your laptop) that adjusts the luminosity of
the LEDs based on the ambient light outside. All of this makes it not necessarily cheap but at
least cheaper than you'd think to operate./p pThe Walgreens sign is a complex, fascinating
testament to the sheer power of LED displays. While most people living in New York avoid Times
Square exactly because of things like this, tourists will undoubtedly flock to the center to
observe the sign up close, even though it can be seen from as far away as Bryant Park and the Port
Authority. For now, it's something that even this semi-jaded NYC resident can appreciate. [a

Nick Hall's made this very excellent time & temperature display - complete with weather
animations -The project uses 4 RGB LED Matrix Modules from Sparkfun Electronics, and is
controlled by an Arduino microprocessor board with 16k RAM and Ethernet shield for internet
connectivity to get time and weather data.
The Arduino and LED modules made it pretty easy to stick together. I just need to find a cool box
to put it in.
I am working on getting it scrolling tweets and messages! Aah, the joy of
LEDs - well done! [via Sparkfun]

it into a visual image. Using a charge via USB, Eye Candy lays down a matrix of small electrical

everytime i read about LED's on apple's site
they always mention how LEDs are so great cause they instantly light up
is that really what makes LEDs a big deal cause thats all apple raves about

/strongemsmallClick above for a high-res gallery of the Maserati Quattroporte S/small/em/strong/p
pThe updated Maserati Quattroporte made its debut at the Paris Motor Show earlier this year, but us
Yanks are getting our first look at the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/LA-Auto-Show/"LA
Auto Show/a this week. The most noticeable new feature is the front grille that mimics the
GranTurismo's vertical slat design. Both front and rear lights have also been updated with LEDs.
Inside, the center console has been reorganized and a new Maserati Multimedia System features an
upgraded navigation system. The Quattroporte S also benefits from a new 4.7L V8 with 430 horsepower
mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission found in the standard model, as well. We've included the
original press release after the jump, and added more live photos of the world's most gorgeous
four-door in the high-res gallery below. /p pdiv class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a

foursome with its new Charge Station Quad that shows off its belief in multiplayer mayhem with your
Wii, featuring a quartet of NiMH rechargeable battery packs, four rubber Wii Remote battery covers

digital bling. This $50 gaming peripheral will ship from next month onwards, but it is a shame that

Priced at $50, the Nyko Quad includes four NiMH rechargeable battery packs, four rubber Wii Remote
battery covers and, of course, a four-port Wiimote battery charger that's loaded to the brim with
LEDs. Shipments start in December, but it doesn't look like Nyko is taking orders just yet. [a
