Editing Time Baby


Time Baby is a homebrew application developed by Art. The name of the homebrew hints at the feature that Time Baby is a clock application for the PSP. However, over time, more features have been added to expand on the original features. Features that has been added is a Heart Monitor, StopWatch, and Alarm. The latest version of Time Baby - v15d has been released on May 20, 2008.

==Features==

Each feature of Time Baby is set up to a different sub-menu.

===Time Announcement Mode===

Time Announcement Mode sets Time Baby to automatically say the time at a set interval. The voice used is a female voice but can be changed with if the EBOOT is repacked.

===Alarm===

A alarm can be set to go off from within Time Baby. A user can set their PSPs to be triggered with a siren tone, an infrared remote, and with a mp3 in which a user can customize a playlist that will be played as the alarm tone. The Alarm mode also has a camera mode.

===Moon Phase Calendar===

In Time Baby, moon phases can be calculated and previewed for each day. Also with the previews of moon phases, the estimated rise and set times for the moon will be shown for different parts of the world.

===Sunrise and Sunsets===

Like the Moon Phases feature, Time Baby can also show the estimated sunrise and sunset times for different days throughout different parts of the world. In Addition, a countdown to sunrise and sunset can be viewed.

===World Clock===

The World Clock feature shows a map of the world, and a user can point to different areas. Depending on the time zone where the user has selected, it will display the times.

===Stopwatch Mode===

Stopwatch mode works as any ordinary stopwatch. However, the stopwatch will be paused if the MP3 File Browser is bought up.

===MP3 Player Mode===

The MP3 Player Mode brings up a file browser where users can compile their own playlist of MP3 songs, and play them once the user leaves the file browser.

===Heart Rate Monitor===

The Heart Rate Monitor records heart beats of a user. However, the heart rate monitor must be constructed separately. A chest transmitter unit is required so that the PSP can record the readings from the unit. A other method can be used but the materials are not commercially available for use.

===Plasma Screensaver===

The Plasma Screensaver is a full-screen screensaver activated by the user if the PSP's WLAN switch is moved. This disabled all the buttons except for START, HOME, the L and R Triggers, and CROSS. However, the screensaver runs on top of whatever was running when it was disabled.

===Day of the Week Mode===

This mode displays the current day and time.

===GPS Mode===

With a Garmin GPS18PC unit, Time Baby will automatically set the time, date, and the users location which is used for sun, moon, and local time calculations. This feature also sets the timezone in the PSP settings.

===Long Time Display===

Mode where the month to the centisecond is said.

===Solar Power Monitor Mode===

With separate tools, a user can setup their PSPs to be charged entirely by Solar Power.

==Compatibility== 

So far, Time Baby can only be ran on Phat PSPs that use the 1.50 kernel. 3.xx kernel Phats and Slims are not supported. Slims also cannot use TimeMachine's 1.50 firmware to run Time Baby. Although it boots, a large amount of the application uses PMFs. Due to the PMF display bug in TimeMachine 1.50 for Slims, Time Baby is not displayed properly. Also, Noobz eLoader cannot boot Time Baby as it will crash on boot.
