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

libXM7 is a C library to play XM modules on Nintendo DS using only ARM7 resources (thus freeing your ARM9 from that task).

The use of XMs as a background music in your games allows much more flexibility compared to the old MOD format: more channels, multisample instruments, envelopes, panning and so on. In addition, the XM format is very well known and widespread among composers who compose music using their favourite tracker. Moreover, the reproduction of the tune will not use ARM9 resources as all the necessary elaboration is carried out by the ARM7. With LIBXM7 all you have to do is load the module and fire.

Changes:

[add] MOD support added for 4 and 8 channel modules subtypes:’M.K.’,’M!K!’,’FLT4′,’OCTA’,’CD81′,’FLT8′
[add] MOD support added for 1 to 16 channel modules subtypes:’TDZx’,’xCHN’,’xxCH’
[add] On-the-fly sample change feature, for ProTracker MOD modules
[add] It’s possible to select different replay modes
[add] It’s possible to select different panning modes and panning ‘apertures’
[XM7_LoadXM() ARM9 XM loading function:]
[bug] XM7_LoadXM() now will load instrument envelopes (both volume&panning) and settings (fadeout/autovibrato) even if the file has been saved with SkaleTracker
