Torch is back and he's brought along v2.0 for his Hold PSP homebrew application. Hold is basically a plug-in to make sure you make the most out of your battery life, while conserving it as well.
Looks as if for this version, the only differences from the previous v1.0 is that this one's been tested on 4.01M33-2 Slim, and that it's now been tweaked to prevent the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidentally push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
If you're new to this app, here's a view of the changelog from the last time it was upped so you'll know what to expect from it as well:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
* (This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
* (Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
Be sure to check out the forums thread as well as the readme included in the .zipfile bundle to make sure you're doing it right, okay?
Thanks for the heads up, Torch!
