[Release] fx_powerspoof

[NoEffex]

Yeah yeah, fx prefix, just happened to be the name of the folder, because powerspoof was taken in my archives of source(tried making it a while back and failed).

I somehow misplaced my battery and needed to install a game patch, so I cooked this up, and installed some patch without a battery, that normally requires like 75% battery, which is 100% pointless. It even unloads itself after patching the functions.

Readme:

Quite simple, just stick it in seplugins, than add it to your game.txt and/or vsh.txt, then watch your system settings always think you have a battery at 100%, when it reality, you (probably) do not.

The main use for this is those games that install updates sony-style, and require 75% or so battery, when that is totally unnecessary and a waste of your time, because if you run out of battery - oh well, start over, nothing harmed, as it does not flash a thing.

How NOT to use:
During flashing(specifically flash0) things that require 75% battery. Not a bright idea. You can, but if you screw up, not my problem .

How it works:
Patches
1. scePowerGetBatteryPercent to always return 100 via jr ra->addiu $v0, $zero, 100
2. scePowerIsLowBattery to always return 0 via jr ra->addu $v0, $zero, $zero
3. scePowerIsBatteryExist to always return 1 via jr ra->addiu $v0, $zero, 0x0001

THEN

Unloads itself, so it won't make your kernel memory all lame and sliced up

Nice idea... I hate trying to update because of the battery cap.
I'll definitely use this.

Same here

This is actually a very useful plug in.

[hotrocker]

I predict at least two bricks within the month from misuse of this app.

Good idea though, I'll be using it.

[NoEffex]

Oh, absolutely. In that case, consider it population control lol.

But really, if you can manage to get it to go during the sce updaters, you are no noob. Generally the functions will be reloaded during the sce updaters, just because.

If you CAN run it during the sce updaters, I suspect there will be a couple nasty replies to this thread saying "fx_powerspoof BRICKED MY PSP" like the olden days when they'd do something stupid and brick.
