This plugin will show a blinking low battery indicator. It works by hooking the sceDisplay syscall and patching sceDisplaySetFrameBuffer(), instead of simply modifying the content of the buffer (flickering may show up).

It was made as an exercise for learning how to use PSPSDK, as well as a way to practice C.

Installation

Put battery_icon.prx and battery_icon.ini in the seplugins directory on your PSP Memory Stick.

On ARK

Open PLUGINS.txt in the same seplugins folder and append this line to the text file:

all, ms0:/seplugins/battery_icon.prx, on

For PSP Go, add this line instead:

all, ef0:/seplugins/battery_icon.prx, on

Reboot your PSP to take effect.

Other CFW

Open game.txt, vsh.txt, pops.txt in the same seplugins folder and append this line to the text files:

ms0:/seplugins/battery_icon.prx 1

For PSP Go, add this line instead to the text files:

ef0:/seplugins/battery_icon.prx 1

Reboot your PSP to take effect.
