Game Categories Light is the successor to Game Categories Revised for the 6.xx kernel. It extends the foldering feature of By Expire Date with a well integrated By Category feature. It also introduces a subtitle showing the game/homebrew's type and Firmware limitations.
Categorizing your games and homebrew is entirely left to you, and an Uncategorized option is added in case you missed anything.
Installation Connect your PSP to your PC and create a folder called seplugins in the root of your Memory Stick (eg. X:/seplugins/).
Extract the file called game_categories_light.prx included in the ZIP in to the seplugins directory you just created.
Using any text editor, create a file called vsh.txt inside the same seplugins directory. Add one of the following lines into the just-created text file, depending on your PSP model.
If you are using a PSP Go and storing it on the built-in storage ef0:/seplugins/game_categories_light.prx 1
In any other situation ms0:/seplugins/game_categories_light.prx 1
Exit USB mode, open the VSH menu, and select Restart vsh. You are now ready to create categories.
User guide Creating categories: Connect your PSP to your PC and browse to your /PSP/GAME/ folder. Create folders representing the categories you'd like to use.
Move any homebrew or games you'd like into the freshly created categories. If corrupt data starts showing up, shorten the length of the filenames of your homebrew.
Do not move your Patapon demo inside a category, as categories do not function while you are in the official firmware. They will show up as corrupted data.
Exit USB mode and you're ready to start using them.
Extra features: In order to hide the Uncategorized folder, simply create a file called X:/seplugins/hide_uncategorized.txt. Just leave it empty.
Compatibility Any PSP model running a HEN for 6.20, 6.31, 6.35 or 6.37.
Changelog v1.3 - Added support for the 6.3X kernels.
v1.2b - Reverted the internal category revision introduced in version 1.2. It caused a lot of issues. Will reimplement it in 1.3 whenever possible, but for now this is a quick fix.
v1.2 - Removing games/homebrew didn't work correctly, fixed. - If the required Firmware version is higher then your current Firmware it now shows so, instead of the odd '6.31 - 6.20' message.
v1.1 - Fixed DLC's (PARAM.PBP) and random files showing up as categories.
