"Krap-psp v1.20 - kenma9123 8/5/2011 2:13 am

============
This Homebrew is an entry for the PSP Genesis competition 2011, sponsored by npt, psp-hacks.com, pspgen.com, pspslimhacks.com, exophase.com, pspcustomfirmware.com, daxhordes.org, gamegaz.jp, xtreamlua.com and wololo.net
============

-Krap-psp is a plugin came up from nowhere, indeed it is just an idea before, but because of someone's help(freddy), i manage to implement a feature which is permit/forbid the battery from charging(that's why its Krap).. and then suddenly some more features we're implemented because of users suggestions. You want to easily manipulate your psp? check your battery status? how about listening to music and yours always aware with the battery life percent, is it good to may just hear a warning sound than picking onto it all the time? How about the uptime? Now, do you want to make your psp more krapy? then try this one and if you find it useful, then that's great :D

[Main Features:]
*Enable/Disable psp from charging
*Automatically set cpu/brightness to low
*Automatically sleep on a certain battery percent
*Easily execute Shutdown,Sleep,Reboot(VSH) on a key combo
*Set auto timer for sleep and shutdown
*More Idle feature options
*Manipulate CPU speed
*Manipulate Brightness level
*Manipulate psp LEDs
*Easily detect the psp motherboard version
*Take screenshots
*Text battery warning
*Sound battery warning
*UPtime
*Put psp in music mode(Cpu goes to 80mhz,brightness/Led off that is inspired by hold plugin)
*Reset a game on key combo(ISO only)
*Paused a game on key combo(ISO only)
*Display the battery/cpu/and psp information
*Easily customizable ;)
