Wake up in time for that tasty McDonald’s Sausage n’ Egger using Mr. 305’s PSP Hardware Alarm Suite. I encourage you read over the documentation for usage; namely to waken oneself while your PSP is suspended or in a powered-off state. And the rest; well, the feature list speaks for itself –

PSP Hardware Alarm Suite features:

• Internet Time Synchronization with NIST time servers
• Currently the only Alarm Application compatible with ALL PSP’s including PSP SLIM.
• Sleep Mode Alarm with support for custom MP3 audio file.
• Power Off Mode Alarm that plays sound in XMB with support for custom sound; consumes virtually 0% POWER
• 12/24 Hr time formats
• Fully compliant with DAY TIME PROTOCOL (RFC-867) with support for Daylight / Standard
• More accurate time keeping than XMB’s DNAS service, with network delay compensation; automatically adjusts for network delays of transmission from server.
• Displays hours and minutes remaining as the alarm time is being set; updated in real time.
• Alarm can be set up to 23 hours 59 minutes in future.
• Alarm accurate to the second.
• Streamlined, extremely easy to use interface.
• Shows seconds & milliseconds;
• Aligned time display (constant length).
• Checks to make sure if an alarm was already set last time, if so, sets the alarm to that time. Reads time from ms0:/seplugins/HAPoweroffSupport.305 if it exists.

Don’t forget the delicious hash brown too.

…And its got the built-in mic and the PS button.

Quoting John Koller –

• The LCD screen will have a wider color gamut and higher contrast ratio to deliver deeper, more vibrant colors, as well as anti-reflection technology so you can see the screen more clearly when playing outdoors. As you all know, the PSP’s screen is a key strength of the hardware, and this update adds an absolutely dazzling LCD screen to the handheld.
• A built-in microphone allows for Skype calls and multi-player gaming communication directly from the hardware - eliminating the need for attaching a separate headset.
