Hey guys!

About : Battery Warning plugin is a PSP plugin that shows a message on screen when your battery reaches 15% or less charge. Works in VSH/GAME + Homebrew Games & Apps.

Why bother when the PSP LED blinks when the battery is low? Well lets face it, who can honestly say when they are stuck into a game that they even notice the LED blinking at all, also added to that, the fact that when your playing a game your thumb practically covers the whole light, it's not an ideal method of warning

I lost the source to V0.2 because my external HDD died so I had to start the project from scratch.

Screenshot :



So here are the changes :

Changelog :

* Added ability to turn the message off. Press L+R+Select to disable the message once shown.
* Changed message to display remaining battery percentage and time remaining (in mins)
* Message now doesn't get hidden behind objects.
* Message now clearer to read (again).
* Reduced flickering substantially (still flickers in certain games)

Future :

In the next release there will finally be the configuration manager. I have started it and it wont be long until it's finished. However been that in essence this is more of a new plugin than a updated version (since I had to start from scratch) I want to be certain people enjoy the same level of success with it as I do before bothering to release a customization manager.

Thanks and enjoy!

EDIT : New version attached. V0.3.1

Changes :

* Message upon battery reaching full charge (Whilst charging) - (See screenshot)
Removing the power cable or pressing L+R+Select will disable the message.

Awesome update Zack, I love the time remaining because sometimes when I'm really into a game I will play to 1% before i swap batteries

Hi there~
Good to see this awesome plugin update
but I got a problem when I just played the game "Monster Hunter portable 2G" with someone else by adhoc
It seems the plugin does not work
There is no message about the battery information
I've tried about 3 times, while I noticed that the battery LED twinkling then I just wait to see if the message shows up or not.
Finally I used up the battery and the PSP shut down.
Then I tried another game and the plugin really work well.

Doesn't this plunig work with the game "Monster Hunter portable 2G" ?

I'm also having issues with this plug-in! I am on 5.50 Gen D2 CFW and am using the plug-in downloaded from the top of this topic. The only place the warning message appears for me is in the VSH. I have tried it with Phantasy Star Portable, Lego Indiana Jones 2, snes9xtyl, gpsp, and several psx eboots. I though the plug-in may have been conflicting with another plug-in so I disabled all others and left only the battery warning active and still nothing. I have doubled and even tripled checked that the plug-in was enabled in the recovery menu.
