About: Based in the Mobile Suit Gundam universe, Kidou Senshi Gundam: Senjo no Kizuna Portable is a compact version of the arcade battle game. Note: This will only work with ppsspp. This is just a texture replacement Hello everyone! I have decided to make a translation of Gundam kizuna after getting tired of googling lensing all the menus. This translation is mostly anything that i could pull out of using the texture extraction on the ppsspp. So the patch is pretty much a texture replacement There is still much to translate and lots of stuff that requires more hacking, but i am satisfied with what i have translated and made the game very playable in English. I probably wont continue working on this and wanted to share this for the people that wanted to play this game. The patch also seems to work with the ppsspp socom servers too. Install instructions: 1. Extract to your memstick folder in your PPSSPP directory. 2. In PPSSPP, click Game settings → More settings... → Tools → Developer tools, then check Replace textures. Do not check Save new textures! (Optional) You may assign a button to "Texture replacement" in the control settings to turn the texture replacement on and off at a press of a button.

Frustrated with the state of PSP plugins which allow you to better control screen brightness, and wanting to use the full 100% on my PSP-3000, I decided to write a plugin myself loosely based on bright3.

Fully customisable brightness levels (Defaults to 11 levels, depending on the model)
Remembers brightness state when launching games / rebooting / waking / exiting to XMB
Configurable key combo to set brightness level up or down without cycling (works as normal when you press "Display")
Option to display the current brightness level (OSD)
- Customise the OSD to change position, size, background and text colours
Option to disable display dimming / backlight off "Powersaving" setting
Option to disable console sleep "Powersaving" setting (use with caution)
Works with FW6.61 / FasterARK and ARK-4, no reason this won't work with 6.60 as well.

I have not tested with older firmwares or CFW versions, but this is written and intended to work as a plugin for a modern ARK CFW setup.

Any testing / feedback appreciated! Be sure to remove any other plugins which control brightness (bright3, PSP brightness control.etc) before trying it out
