I'm freezing the running game by suspending all its threads, just like the screenshot plugin.

However while in this state, the Suspend mode no longer works. If the power switch is pushed, it doesnt' suspend until I resume all the game threads.

I've tried finding all the power callbacks by hooking the functions and unregistering them, but it still doesn't suspend while game threads are suspended. I also tried finding the callback threads and resuming them alone, but it still doesn't work.

Any one know how to do this??

By any chance are you suspending the "ScePowerMain" thread? That is the thread that controls the power switch suspend/standby operations.

How do I identify the ScePowerMain thread?

What I'm doing is making a list of all the running threads as soon as my plugin starts. Then when I need to freeze it, I suspend all threads EXCEPT the threads that I recorded in the beginning. Hence I assume that only the game threads will be suspended (and any plugin that was loaded after mine).

moonlight said that in that plugins are loaded after mediasync.prx. So the only GAME mode prxs loaded after that is me_wrapper.prx, impose.prx and usersystemlib.prx. Hence any threads in those PRXs will be suspended I guess. power.prx is loaded much earlier (I'm assuming the ScePowerMain thread is in it).

I don't know what exactly to do. Should I wait for these three modules to load before making the list of initial threads? (Then I'll have the problem of later loaded plugins not getting suspended. I want everything after my plugin to get suspended, including other plugins loaded after it).

I checked the list of initial recorded threads and ScePowerMain is found. Which means ScePowerMain is ignored and is not suspended by my plugin.

What other cause is there for suspend mode not working?
