Homebrew app BatterySteve | PSP Battery Capacity Tester

[koutsie]

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!

• Renders a 2D+3D Scene to give the system some "real" load
• Choose between a 222 or a 333 Mhz CPU speed
• Works with all PSP models (1000, 2000, 3000, Go, Street)
• Compatible with official Sony and third-party batteries*
• Runs till you run out of battery & shows the runtime after. Also saves the last run to score.old.txt !

Street/GO users: you might need to start the test by pressing Select when you have a full battery, those devices do not have proper battery management and I cant reliably figure out if your battery is full.
