With many PSOne games (both downloads from the PlayStation Store and POPS), I run into this strange issue where the PSP Slim's backlight will be reset to its dimmest setting while a game is running, usually during loading segments (like going from the menu into gameplay, and back out).

The two games that have been the worst are Jet Moto (PS Store download) and Gran Turismo (POP). In both games, the backlight will often go dim after a race when the game loads the menus back up.

This happened both on official 3.60 firmware (with a PS Store game) and 3.60 M33 (with both the PS Store and POP games).

I have all "power save" options turned off, so that's not the issue. And it doesn't happen with real PSP UMDs, PSP ISOs, or any other emulator I use. Only PSX ("PSOne") games.

I know at least one other person having this problem. What I'm unsure of is if it happens with every PSP Slim (note: not all PSX games seem to "trigger" this as often as the ones I mentioned).

Before you say "no", turn your PSP Slim to its brightest setting, and play a handful of PSX games and really pay attention to see if its happening or not. I think a lot of people just aren't paying attention.
