BatterySteve is a lightweight and easy-to-use tool for testing the real capacity of your PSP battery! No more guessing how much juice is left in your tired 'ol battery!
Achtung!
This software is provided "as is" without any explicit warranties or guarantees, as results may vary.
Please monitor the device while the application is running, as the battery will get warm. If you notice any irregular or unusual behavior, please cease testing immediately and let the PSP cool down before resuming testing.
I take no responsibility for any and all related damages that may or may not occur during testing or that may present themselves at a later time. Use at your own discretion; you have been warned.
Steves: ...
Graph generator for score files (?)
Do you want this to be like "PSP Battery Timer"?
Just create a file called NUKED on the same folder as BatterySteve (ie; where the EBOOT.PBP is).
If you don't know how to, or just want to get the NUKED file, here's a download link
