TimeBatteryPercent is a plugin for PSP. It allows you to show the percentage of available battery energy left, directly next to the battery icon.

It was presented at ITA's Winter Developers Contest (App).

Installation

Create a seplugins folder in the root directory of the Memory Stick (where the PSP folder is located). Note you do not need to create one if you have already had it.

Copy TimeBattery.prx and TimeBatteryPercent_config.ini and paste them to the seplugins folder created earlier.

Then create a text document named VSH in the seplugins folder. Note you do not need to creat it if you have already had the file.

Modify the vsh.txt, write the following line then save

ms0:/seplugins/TimeBatteryPersent.prx 1

Note: If you have an existing vsh.txt, simply edit the file add it as a new line.

User guide

Initial setup

Turn on the PSP while pressing R-Trigger to start recovery mode.

Select plugins, press Cross on TimeBatteryPersent.prx [VSH] to enable the plugin from Disabled to Enabled.
