The Utilities library was an excellent idea by SCE to allow ever increasing functionality to be available to Game developers (at the expense of user memory though, the Utilities is partly why a whopping 8MB is reserved for the kernel).

Anyway, on to the new NID’s (note not all are available under all firmwares)…

A few previous Utilities had been added to the PSPSDK most notably the Message Dialogs as well as the Web Browser. Some of these newly discovered Utilities may be also worthwhile to add to PSPSDK especially the Screenshot one. While there are already unofficially screenshot libs, it would be more convenient as well as less memory consuming to use an official lib (for example using the official libmp3 to play mp3 files).
