PSP homebrew coder poisonhzkj has just announced the release of SCEP-XMB v1.7 preview 3 for the community's use.

In case you're a first timer reading up on this application, SCEP-XMB is a PSP plugin that allows users to take screenshots, use their unit as a usbhost, turn off/reset their PSP, manage files and directories, and adjust screen brightness and CPU speed.

QJ.Net Forum resident Nightcrawler observed that the biggest observable change in this release is a fully functional stopwatch, although poisonhzkj states that more functions are forthcoming in future versions. Given the bundle lacks a file readme, here are the controls:

* Screenshot controls:
o Dpad + L/R: get a area
o Dpad : move the area
* File Manager controls:
o Select(Triangle)
o Select All(Square)
o change device(R)
o change panel(LEFT/RIGHT)
o Excute(Circle)
o Operation menu(L)
* Stopwatch controls:
o Start/Pause (circle)
o mark down (R)
o reset(L)

Other important details should be available at Nightcrawler's thread at the QJ.Net Forums, and over at poisonhzkj's release blog (The source link). With that said, we hope the guys here enjoy this latest SCEP-XMB preview release. Keep posted in case we get wind of a full version!
