FastPower changelog

v0.4.1 · Sep 24, 2007

Homebrew developer Test30 has released an update for FastPower, a quick tune up for compatibility with Team M33's recent release of their CFW 3.71. FastPower v0.4.1 will now run under the new CFW with the PSP and PSP Slim.

FastPower is a plugin app that lets you turn off or reboot your PSP while playing a game or while in the XMB by pressing a combination of buttons. The program is essentially the same as before; there are no changes in the new build other than being made to be compatible with the new firmware.

The instructions for installing and running the app are in the Readme file which is included in the bundle. As always users are encouraged to go over the Readme before installing it on their units.

v0.4 · Sep 17, 2007

Homebrew developer Test30 dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and released a a new build for FastPower. This is a plugin, for the uninitiated, that allows users to turn off the PlayStation Portable unit at once by pressing a button or two whether while playing a game or in the XMB.

This update brings FastPower to version 0.4 and what's exciting about this build is that it has been made compatible with PSP SLim and Lite. Actually, the plugin has two modes - Version Normal and Version Slim. Like we said, the latter is for the new PSP while Version Normal is for PSP units running on CFW 3.52 M33-4.

Aside from the already mentioned, FastPower v0.4 is essentially the same as the previous version. Anyway, for those planning to use this plugin, be sure to go over the Readme.txt file before installing this on your handheld units.

v0.3 · Jul 22, 2007

Test30's just released an update to his FastPower application/plugin for everyone. It still does the same thing as before: allows you to switch off or restart your PSP with one press of a button (actually, to be exact, they're two buttons pressed at the same time). This can be done whether you're in-game or on the XMB.

But what's new here is that, aside from the bug fixes, it now runs on FW 3.51 M33-X. Well, we're not surprised. Good homebrew tend to see updates whenever CFWs get released. Think of it as a sign that the developer cares about you and that they're taking time to tweak their projects for your perusal on the most recent firmware updates.

Since everyone and their happy monkey has probably switched over to the CFW 3.50 from the M33 Team, we're bound to see a whole slew of homebrew for that can run on the said CFW. Either that's going to be new homebrew, or updated homebrew, we get a fresh new batch nonetheless.

Now before you do anything, make sure you check the included readme in the zipped archive. It contains specific instructions on how to install the plugin, as well as how exactly to execute its functions.

v0.2 · Jun 25, 2007

Plugin FastPower from homebrew developer Test30 is kind of useful especially for those who have PSP units with rather defective power switch. What the program actually does is allow users to turn off their PlayStation Portable or put it in standby mode with just one button press.

FastPower v0.2, much like the previous build, can be used both on the XMB and while playing a game. This is particularly important in making sure that we have put our units in standby mode or we will lose all those in-game progress if we forget to save and the battery runs out of charge.

Tesat30 mentioned that this works perfectly well with custom firmwares 3.10, 3.30 and 3.40 OE. The accompanying Readme fie has all the informationm regarding button presses that works with the plugin depending if you're on the XMB or while playing a game. In short, don't forget to read that first before installing this.
