    If you've ever used the PSP Go, you might know if the console is closed you will get a clock that looks like this

    You may have wondered if there is a way to get it on the other PSP models, and there is. However the only models supported are the PSP 2000 & 3000. The PSP 1000 had a bug where this could not be done, the PSP GO obviously has the clock, and i am not sure about the PSP Street (I may ask my friend on the weekend if he can put it on his PSP Street and if it works i will post a comment on this post saying it works, if it doesn't i won't.)
    NOTE: This guide will be for the PSP running the PRO CFW because that's the one I have. I know the ARK PSP firmware has a different way of installing plugins which is why this is specifically for the PRO CFW. If you however know how to install plugins on the ARK firnware (if you are running it), you can still use this guide until the point where you actually install the plugin.

    1. To begin Download the zerovsh patcher plugin

    You will get a zip file, just extract it and go into the folder of the patcher, you will see some text files that you can ignore and a folder called bin, enter the folder and you will see something like this

    For now you should ignore the files in the bin folder and go into the slide folder, there is an important thing to do there

    2. Getting the slide plugin on your firmware
    Inside of the slide folder you will find multiple plugin files

    Ignore the netconf plugin, it is not important. The only important thing here are the slide plugin files. First, you need to know the firmware of your PSP. If you have firmware 6.60/6.61, choose the 660 prx and rco, if you are on 6.20, choose the 620 prx and rco etc. I have 6.60, so i use the 660 plugin. The rest of the plugins in the folder you may delete. In the plugins you have left you want to rename the names removing the version number from the names, so for example it will look like this "slide_plugin.prx" (YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON BOTH FILES!!!!!). Now you want to go back to the bin folder for the next step.

    3. Enabling the clock
    After going back to the bin folder, open the zerovsh.ini file with notepad and find the "ClockAndCalendar = Disabled" Section. You want to remove the Disabled and put in Enabled, so its "ClockAndCalendar = Enabled" and save the file.

    4. Putting the plugin on your PSP
    Plug in the mini usb to your PSP and into your computer and select USB Connection, your PSP will say USB Mode. On your computer a USB Drive will popup. After going into it you will see folders like PSP, Video, ISO etc. On the root you want to go into the seplugins folder, if you do not have it then you need to create one. Inside you might see either prx files and text files, or if you just created it you will see no files. Copy the zerovsh_patcher.prx and zerovsh.ini into the seplugins folder. Then open (or create) a txt file called "VSH". in the txt file you want to copy this "ms0:/seplugins/zerovsh_patcher.prx 0" and save. After that close the notepad window and go back to the root of your PSP, then you will have a folder called "PSP", go into it and create a new folder called "VSH". Then, copy the slide plugin files into it. after that, you are done.
    NOTE: Make sure the VSH folder is in the PSP folder and NOT in the ROOT of your PSP. I did this before like this and my psp would crash launching the pro firmware. (if this does happen to you just plug in the PSP into your computer when the pro firmware is not booted or if you have cipl, boot into recovery by turning off your psp (hold the power button for 5 sec) and then turn it on while holding the R trigger, then enable USB mode and copy the VSH folder from the root to the PSP folder)

    5. Enabling the plugin
    On the XMB, while the pro firmware is active, press the select button and go to the recovery button and press X

    In the recovery menu, select plugins and press X
    [​IMG]
    Inside you will find the zerovsh plugin, go to it and press X to enable it (the process may take a few seconds)

    [​IMG]
    (dont worry about me having more options its because i have other plugins installed)

    Then, go to back and select reset VSH and press X

    Now when you press the PS/Home button on your console, you will get the clock, and pressing L+R triggers at the same time will make the calendar show up

    6. (Optional) Selecting your birthday
    If you set your birthday, when you open the clock on the date of your birthday a cool animation will popup before it saying Happy Birthday! and then going to the normal clock. It will also make your birthday red on your calendar. To do this, go to settings, System settings and go to Your Birth Date and select your birthday.
