Is it possible to run a program in the background that shuts the psp down after a specific time. Kind of like the sleep function in the origional FW, but the original sleep function doesn't shuts the psp down until all mp3's have stopped playing for example.

I want my program to shut the psp down completly after the time i set up.
Any tutorial or example i can look at?

Great forum by the way!!!

Simple idea:

Grab the current system time and calculate when it's time to shutdown (or however you wanna do that part....)

Then make a loop that spends its most time with sceKernelDelayThread() so it doesn't pull 100% CPU load and drains the battery.
When this loop "detects" that it's bedtime, call scePowerRequestStandby(), and OFF you go - literaly :)

Simply, but should do it....

Ok, can I just "return to the XMB" after the program has been started, and the program will continue to run in the background?

I have only made programs with graphics etc. so far where I exit my program to return to XMB.
