pysweeper VS PySimpleGUI

I'm not an expert, but I'm afraid you might have bricked the console, you can try to fix it with a application called Baryon Sweeper, just check if it's compatible with your model, it probably is because it's a 2000 model Here's the link to the project https://github.com/khubik2/pysweeper you also need a jigkick memory card and the tool to make the console enter the special mode, all the info and how to make them is in that link, depending on the model you can use a Pandora battery instead of that tool, if you have one or can make one with another psp

Baryon Sweeper connected to your PC & the battery pins on the PSP + 6.20 Jigkick inside the PSP Memory Stick slot (original source) + pysweeper running on the PC

https://github.com/khubik2/pysweeper Is the only option AFAIK

but can i use this instead?

Hello there, you can always try the Baryon Sweeper method : https://github.com/khubik2/pysweeper

Then, with a dead battery, you keep just the PCB, remove every IC / RESISTOR / CAPACITOR (not mandatory) and solder 3 wires to the terminals and build the sweeper following https://github.com/khubik2/pysweeper and it should be good.

However, given that this exploit is relatively recent (i.e. in the last few years) and the PSP 3000 is almost 15 years old, and that the Baryon Sweeper involves the use of external hardware (as seen here) I think it's improbable (but possible) that the previous owners installed M33 firmware, especially when the gold standard for PSP 3000s for years has been "light" custom firmwares with permanent patches.

Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon.

It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

Their old CONTRIBUTING file <https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/1fa911cafee6...> said:

> Pull requests are not being accepted for the project. This includes sending code changes via other means than "pull requests". Plainly put, code you send will not be used.

> I don't mean to be ugly. This isn't personal. Heck, I don't know "you",the reader personally. It's not about ego. It's complicated. The result is that it allows me to dedicate my life to this project. It's what's required, for whatever reason, for me to do this. That's the best explanation I have. I love and respect the users of this work.

It's obvious in hindsight that those reasons were a bald-faced lie, and the real reason was exactly that he could legally do this rug pull.

> 2023 is going to be the "Make or Break" year. I ultimately need to determine if the project is going to continue. To date, it's nowhere near sustainable. The income doesn't cover the cost of the project, meaning that it's not only unable to allow me to pay for my cost of living, but I continue to rack up debt, borrowing money, to keep the project functional.

> This isn't new information if you've followed the over 1,200 announcements I've made since Sept 2018. The data is available should you wish to look at the GitHub Sponsorships and do the simple math required to calculate income from Udemy. It would be great for the project to keep going. I'm hopeful, but more than hope's required to keep the project going.

So if you like this project and want to see it around in the future, please support it.

Github sponsors is probably the best place: https://github.com/sponsors/PySimpleGUI

The psutil package makes getting a list of running programs not very difficult. There's an example demo program that polls once a second and displays the top process using CPU time. You could use it as a starting point perhaps.

How does it compare with remi? https://github.com/rawpython/remi

Looking at the examples, for quick UIs, REMI seems simpler. And PySimpleGUI (https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI) offers REMI as a backend to deploy on web too (PySimpleGUI is pretty simple to learn).

Random Password Generator (what an orginal name!) or RPG for short is a simple password generator that uses PySimpleGUI GUI framework, in order to have a user-friendly interface and also because i wanted to have fun.

Another approach when the data is easy to graph is to use the Graph Element to create a graph. A Demo Program shows how to make something like this.
