Hold+ v3.7

[psYko]

Now Hold+ has been updated to 3.7.
The changelog isn't really big. Mostly bugfixes. But nothing wrong with those releases

If you haven't heard about this plugin before, when flicking the power button to "Hold", instead of just locking the buttons, it underclocks the PSP and turns off display to save battery time.
That's just a few of the many options available in this plugin.
If you have a PSP Slim, you will also get yet another brightness level.

Here's some usage notes.

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.

Thank goodness that 30 second LED flash is gone!

Thanks for the update news Psyko

[psYko]

You're welcome

I'm trying to post as much news as possible, but only stuff that's worth posting. I wouldn't have time to post all random stuff QJ posts all the time

man, this is ALWAYS the problem... it enters HOLD mode fine, I can use the controls while HOLDING the select button... but when I unHOLD it, speed of XMB is SLOW(underclocked)... is this normal?

im on 5.00 m33-6

I wish the creators could make it underclocked in HOLD and speed(back to normal) when unHOLD...

oh wait...

If you've manually set a XMB clock speed in the M33 VSHMenu, then it destroys the functions preventing the speed from being restored (to prevent the XMB from automatically changing speed, but it also effects Hold+). Set it on Default instead.

^oh ic... darn!~

I have set mine to 266.. ok setting back to default...

thanks man!

The one killer feature I think this plugin lacks is the ability to have the delay for the suspend mode switch in GAME. I get way too spoiled in the XMB flicking the hold switch back and then when I do it in a game I get smacked back to reality!

I would want nothing else (due to CPU issues), just the delay on the suspend switch!

AWESOME POST , is it normal to not get the fifth brightness during games?

EDIT: NVM i need to put the text into game.txt file

If you put it in game.txt it will run in games too. If you press Analog UP while putting it on Hold, it will only activate the normal Hold mode. The suspend delay will still be active when turning off Hold.
