  • Fixed: If the original PSP firmware version cannot be retrieved "N/A" will be shown instead of nothing.
  • Fixed: Crash if circle is enter.
  • Fixed: The battery menu can no longer be accessed if the PSP does not support reading/writting to the battery EEPROM.
  • Other: Changed the wave style used.
  • Other: Decreased RAM usage by a massive ~2MB.

0.90 2009/02/23

  • Added: Support for 2.71 SE and 1.50 running under Time Machine and check to disable running on 3.71.
