v0.91

BetterBright v0.91

A small plugin for the PSP (ARK-4 / FasterARK, 6.61). Stock PSP gives you only 3–4 brightness steps — BetterBright lets you set your own (including off and brighter than factory max), shows the level on-screen, and remembers it across games, reboots and sleep. Drop the two files in your SEPLUGINS folder, enable it, done.

What's new since v0.9

• OSD now shows in (almost) every game — auto-falls back to a second draw method for titles the old one missed (e.g. GTA: LCS).
• Localised OSD — "Brightness: NN" in your system language, incl. Japanese (明るさ), Korean, Chinese, Russian (detect_locale=0 for English).
• OSD sizes 1×–3× (was just normal / 2×).
• Leave the brightness list empty to just cycle your model's 4 stock steps.
• Crash fix: quitting a game with the OSD up no longer reboots the PSP.
• sync_fw_level (on by default) keeps the PSP's own backlight level in step with yours.
• Better debug/logging (debug_enable=2).

Known issues

• Waking from sleep above ~84 (factory max) can drop back to ~84.
• A few games may still flicker the OSD slightly (e.g. Lego Batman)
• Only tested on a PSP-3000VB (09g), stock LCD — other models/screens may need different values.

Compatibility

6.61, ARK-4 / FasterARK. Other 6.61 CFW should work (untested); should work fine with 6.60
