Battery Warning Plugin changelog
v0.3.1 · Feb 3, 2010
Developer's note:
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.
Changelogs :
Version 0.3.1:
- Message upon battery reaching full charge (Whilst charging) - (See screenshot)
Removing the power cable or pressing L+R+Select will disable the message.
Version 0.3:
- 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!

v0.1 · Dec 29, 2009
Battery Warning Plugin - On-Screen Message Upon Low Battery
Features:
- Works in VSH & GAME.
- Displays on screen scrolling message when battery charge level is 10% or less.
- Message is small and unobtrusive.
Future :
Even though this was just a fun little project to get me back into coding, I am open to continuing development of this plugin if people are interested. I am interested to hear suggestions or new features that could be added to this plugin, although I am sure something far superior to this already exists
Side Note :
I am also continuing development on LuaPlayer Euphoria and Snex9X as of now. Development wont be as fast as it was in the past due to some changes in my personal/social life, but there are now in active development now, as opposed to hibernation
