From the name that’s been on the tips of everyone’s tongues recently comes ISO/UMD Speed Measurer, another very handy utility for your PSP. The homebrew scene is getting bigger, badder, and smarter every day. This piece of hand-crafted code is a plugin that measures the speed at which the PSP reads ISOs and UMDs. DaX uses it to compare the speeds between drivers. The software only works on the PSP Slim, since it uses the Slim’s extended memory. Here’s a few words from Dark AleX on the new release:
Instructions: copy to root and run an iso/umd. The plugin will automatically log the umd driver read petitions in RAM. Whenever you want the log to end, press L+R in the game and the log will be written to ms0:/drivers.txt.
Caution: if you log an umd or an iso in normal mode (with umd required), DO NOT USE slim cache.
When comparing two drivers.txt, make sure you compare lines that are equal (except in time).
Don’t forget to disable the plugin when you have finished to use it, as it may break some homebrews.
Give it a spin, folks. Thanks to Dark AleX again for this nifty little drop.
