sneakText uses a custom built alphanumeric text cipher to secure just about any text-related operations you can think of. Enter a message in the interface, followed by a codeword, select ‘sneak’ or ‘unsneak’, and hit ‘do it’. The app will then either securely encrypt the message, or decrypt it.

fx_powerspoof makes your PSP think you are having a 100% full battery.

readme.txt:

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

This tool allows you to change the order your homebrew appears on the PSP within the categories and for those using the context menu you can change the order of the categories too.
