Sleep'n'Wake changelog

When the second version of homebrew application Sleep'n'Wake was released, you were all like "Great app! Keep up the good work MK2k!" The homebrew developer simply quipped "Will do!" with the almost given smiling face in the end. Now, guess what? MK2k just did that and released Sleep'n'Wake v1.2 over at QJ.Net Forums.

Just like the second version, the coder mentioned that the homebrew community kept on giving useful suggestions and reporting bugs so he decided to improve the program. For those who don't quite get the drift of this application, it is actually a program that turns your PlayStation Portable (PSP) into an alarm clock.

There are many changes and new features to Sleep'n'Wake v1.2 so you better update your version now. As for the changes, MK2k said that the Snooze Mode!, if activated in the Alarm Mode, has a snooze time between one to nine minutes. Aside from re-arranging the Main Menu, a bug fix has also been inplemented to accept ".mp3" in all capitalization variations.

Aside from these, the new features that come with v1.2 are:

• Full cbr/vbr/abr 8kbps-320kbps 44.1kHz MP3 support
• MP3 can be of arbitrary length
• Manage different playlists for Sleep and Wake modes
• Add / remove mp3s
• Save / load / randomize playlists with the Playlist Randomizer Option in the Playlist Edit menu
• In Sleep mode you can set a special, more silent volume
• Wake mode is entered at a preset time with volume maxed (you can always adjust the maximum volume with the VOL + and - keys)
• Snooze for a preset amount of minutes in Wake Mode by pressing L or R shoulder button
• Write yourself a message which will be displayed in Wake mode
• USB Mass Storage can be enabled/disabled within the app
• Energy Save Mode (underclocks the PSP to 50MHz while no mp3 is running)
• Big Digits Time Display (set 24h or 12h am|pm as you like in the Set Wake Time Option)

It is nice to wake up and smell the coffee in the morning, espcially when you were awaken by nifty PlayStation Portable (PSP) homebrew application Sleep'n'Wake. This doesn't need any further introduction as the program is pretty much straight up - it is a useful application that turns your handheld into a nice alarm clock.

It was developed by QJ.Net Forum member MK2k and the coder just improved Sleep'n'Wake to version 1.1. According to him, the demand for a better version was really overwhelming so he came up with an updated and enhanced release. The complete changelog is as follows:

• 50MHz underclock in SleepMode while no mp3 is played
• Big Digits Time Display in Sleep- and Wake Mode (see screenshot)
• Left and Right Shoulderbuttons now exit Wake Mode too
• An overflow with adding items to the playlist fixed
• Playlist enlargement to 99 max. entries
• Filebrowser now remembers last visited Directory

Take note that the installation instruction and other pertinent details are in the Readme file so don't forget to browse through that first. The first version of Sleep'n'Wake was comptible with firmwares 1.0, 1.5, and 3.xx OE. All other remaining firmwares are yet to be tested.
