This is the fourth revision of my game category plugin, which I've chosen to rename as it has been fully rewritten.
For those who have used previous versions, a list of differences is below:
- Removed vshmenu option, it was slightly buggy and I've now provided two alternatives.
- Added Multi-MS mode, see section below for more information.
- Added pre-game-menu mode, see section below for more information.
- Reloading of the game modules will now be done via a patch as opposed to faking a memory stick ejection.
- Added keycombo to switch between the two modes (L + R + Home).
- Added configuration file to remember your latest category chosen and your current mode.
- Did some bugfixing on the patches, should have solved removal bug, random corruption, and probably some other things.
(if you are still experiencing any problems with this, don't hesitate to report them and I'll see what I can do)
This can be installed like any other plugin, simply copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick and it should be ready to use.
If you've already got a vsh.txt, edit it instead of copying the included one.
(Requirements)
This will work on any PSP with 5.00 M33 or 5.02 GEN. On GEN you need to disable the built-in version via Configuration in the recovery menu. Incase your PSP refuses to boot after a firmware update, it may be caused by the hardcoded patches done by this plugin. In this case, disable it in the recovery and wait for an update of the plugin.
(Making categories)
Create folders prefixed with 'CAT_' in your GAME, GAME150, GAME5XX or ISO folder and fill them with anything you'd like to have appear for that specific category.
If you have the same category name in multiple folders, they'll be merged together. Something to keep in mind are length limits. Category names have a limit of 18 characters (excluding the CAT_ prefix), and the full path to the file can't exceed a certainth number of characters due to Sony limits. If corrupt icons start to show up, you might want to try renaming the folders to shorter names.
(Multi-MS Mode)
This will make a seperate memory stick icon pop up for each category you have, and choosing one will enter the approriate category. Next to all your own categories, an 'Uncategorized' option will be added in case you happen to have any seperate folders floating around in your GAME folder.
(Pre-Game-Menu Mode)
A small vshmenu-style menu will pop up every time you enter the Game menu, this will default to your latest selection (it will be remembered in the configuration file), and after selecting your category, it'll enter the menu. Next to all your own categories, a 'Show all' and 'Uncategorized' option are available.
(Switching between modes)
This can be done by pressing L + R + Home within the VSH, and will be written to the configuration file. Both options have been explained above.
(Configuration file)
This plugin creates a configuration file at ms0:/PSP/GAME/category.bin, which should remain untouched (it only uses 4 bytes).

Apologies for the amount of bugfixes, worst of all is that most of these bugs don't even occur on my own PSP, so it's hard to spot and fix them.
