[RELEASE] Game Categories v12

It would be great if you could add support for irShell category naming, being able to use either CAT_category or $category$.

Thanks for the great plugin
 
Is it realy too much to hope for that you could release a version that doesn't relay on changing directory names? Surely you could achieve exactly the same effect through a config file, and with far fewer compatibility problems.

Currently this plugin is downright unusable because of the directory name issue.

Ungrateful piece of shit.
 
d/l'ed it but havent tried it yet, but the screenshots make it look like ill like it very much, thx
 
amazing plugin, been using it since first release on both my psp's. appreciate the effort in making such a pretty/functional plugin.

thanks again, spiros.
 
One of the best plugins out there!
Great work Davee & Bubbletune.

I would like to request a feature... (or at least ask if it's possible)
Could the categorization also be implemented for, lets say, the picture section? Something like Photo Categories would be to much, no need for a whole new plugin for this, I know (because folders for them can be created easily and all that), BUT... it's more about the "Show Uncategorized" feature that could (un)hide the main content of the picture folder and show memory sticks just for CAT_Wallpapers and so on...

Mainly because after patching the PSP to GEN-C, users (lets say the noobs that get the PSP borrowed) enter folders that freeze it. In my case, if someone enters the MHUspeed folder after ChickHEN R2 is applied, the PSP freezes. Just using homebrews or plugins that rename the picture folder to denie access are not helping either because, 3K users like me need to reapply ChickHEN or MHUspeed after a freeze but if the folder was renamed in the meantime, we're stuck until we connect the PSP to the PC and rename it back, manually.

Not a biggie, of course... but then again, having all games UNcategorized wasn't one either :p ...and still, a nice plugin like yours makes the PSP even more perfect! Not to mention that a "Show Uncategorized" option would look lovely inside Settings -> Photo (so the "Slideshow Speed" wouldn't be the only option in there)

p.s. don't let the haters (like cypherpunk) get you down.
Keep the features coming! Thanks again for everything.

Content Browser Mode doesn't support that - you could try a different mode.

i have send you a PM with some ideees,. if posible,. :bored:

Optimized my latest ctf theme to work with game_cat v12 and will probebly release it with the game_cat plugin and some total_noob plugins(dayviewer, ultimate vshmenu and contentHider),. ;)

best plugin evar

V1 out
 
MODEL:
PSP-3000 5.03 on CFWE 3.60

PLUGINS:
Hold+ v4.0
Game Categories v12
Dayviewer v7
screenshotbmp

PROBLEM:
Content Browser mode does not work on this firmware (5.03 MHU). It shows the contents of PICTURE folder instead of ISO/CAT_* folders.

How to reproduce: Use CFWE 3.60 on a 3k (be sure to uninstall any previous GEN installations), and put on Game Categories first thing. Choose the Content Browser mode and try choosing a game. It will show PICTURE folder contents

SOLUTION (so far):
Use GEN-C, it works in 5.03 GEN-C.

Any other solution not involving using GEN-C is appreciated. Hold+ v4.0 has some issues with GEN-C (suspension mode implementation)
 
Here's a sneak preview of 'Game Categories Light', which I'll port to 6.20 TN as soon as it gets released (I've already got a 6.20 Typhoon version sitting on my desktop, so it'll only be the swapping of a few imports).

When 6.00 was released, I thought the foldering was useless (By Expire Date...). That's why I spend three days crafting this recode of Game Categories. I've updated it for 6.10, 6.20 and 6.31 Typhoon since. It has to the hackiest version of this plugin yet. I've still got a ton of game_plugin reverses sitting on my desktop.

With a public homebrew enabler coming up, there's nothing standing in the way of a release.

This would've been the only thing stopping me from upgrading, but now that there's going to be a port, I'm a happy camper :D Thanks man!
 
Hi, I'm having some issues getting this to work.
I've got a PSP 1000, running 550GenD3 with Prometheus4.
The other plugins installed are: vshmenu, cxmb and cwcheats.

While it will work, whenever I turn off the PSP and try to turn it on again, the screen stays black, and even if I remove the battery and put it back in again, it'll stay black. To get the unit working again, I have to put in the MMS and kick it into flash mode, then restart from there and it'll boot normally.

Any help?

EDIT: Hang on a moment seems I'm running something else that's doing this to the console. :V
EDIT2: False alarm... it's Ultimate VSH Menu which has the 'change battery' switch and it's set to Pandora by default. ...I think. Still trying to get this fixed. Hmm.
OK it is that setting but for some reason I can't get it to stick on 'normal'...
EDIT3: OK, installed the revised version of VSH which is said to be GEN compatible, and it reboots/turns on from shutdown fine with the convert option locked to normal. Looks like I need to test each plugin before moving on to installing the next!
 
OK I've since changed PSPs... I'm using a PSP 2002 w/ TA-085v1, and it's running 5.50 Prome-4 (so gend3 -> prometheus). Games run fine, and categories work fine UNLESS I'm in Content Browser mode.
If I'm in that mode, every game (unless uncategorised) complains w/ error 80010002.
And when I went context menu mode and used home button to get out, it nuked half my plugins (and the game categories plugin itself).
CXMB, ultimate vshmenu revised, cwcheat are the other plugins I am running...

Let it be said that I did not have this issue when I was running 5.00M33-6, so I think I'll be moving back to that...
 
Yeah, I went back to 5.00 M33, there's a prome-4 patch for 5.00 as well, I haven't installed it yet, but you could try that and you should get the same game compatibility as on 5.50 prome-4.

Mmm only problem is most of them are not really -4, just -3?
Found DaNS 5.00 prom4 mod for slims, and as I've said there it seems to work, if being able to run Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is any indication.
