Developer Torch, the notable maker of popular PSP utilities such as the Hold+ plugin and Lockdown, is back with an update to Lockdown’s sibling known as Lockdown In-Game. This plugin for PSP custom firmware allows for password protecting your game session when using suspend mode; upon resuming the session you will be required to enter the password of your choosing. Additional information from Torch and the changelog is available in the full article.

Download Lockdown In-Game v1.1

Installation:

Put it in the ms0:/seplugins/ folder and make an entry in GAME.txt (e.g. ms0:/seplugins/lockdown.prx).

It is recommended that it should be the very first entry in GAME.txt (However if you also have Hold+ installed, then make Hold+ first and lockdown.prx second).

Use the included exe to create a password file (buttons.ini) and put it in ms0:/seplugins/

If you also have the flash0: version of Lockdown installed, then this will detect and use the same flash0: password.

It only works in GAME mode. It will not work in the XMB.

Notes:

I have only tested it with few games that I have. Its recommended that you don’t suspend the PSP while a game video is playing as sometimes it doesn’t work properly during video playback.

While in the password screen, press Select if you want to suspend the PSP again without typing the password (the power switch won’t work in the password screen).

Changelog v1.1:

• Optimized the code a bit.
• The PSP doesn’t automatically suspend after entering a wrong password. You can now press Select while in the password screen to suspend the PSP.
