APPSwitcher is a little VSH plugin developed in C that lets you categorize your homebrew for the XMB.

By the press of a button combination you can then switch from category to category which then gets shown to you right on the XMB.

APPSwitcher does this by renaming previously created and configured directories to PSP/GAME etc. and vice versa.

Installation

Copy APPSwitcher.prx and appswitcher.txt to the seplugins directory of your Memory Stick.

Create directories that categorize your homebrews and put the homebrews there.

Delete /PSP/GAME/, /PSP/GAME4xx/ etc. (they should be empty now as you already moved the software).

Open seplugins/appswitcher.txt to fit your setup.

Append the content of seplugins/vsh.txt to your seplugins/vsh.txt on the Memory Stick.

Go to the Recovery Menu > Plugins and enable the APPSwitcher in VSH mode.

appswitcher.txt

appswitcher.txt has a simple structure, in each line there are 2 locations separated by a semicolon ";".

The first location is the target directory where the XMB is able to find the software, for example: "ms0:/PSP/GAME" or "ms0:/PSP/GAME150".

The second location is the directory of your choice for the category of the software, for example "ms0:/PSP/BREW_GAMES" or "ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP".

So imagine we have the following 3 locations set up:

ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP150
ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP4XX
ms0:/PSP/BREW_GAME

they contain the software.

Our seplugins/appswitcher.txt should look like this:

ms0:/PSP/GAME150;ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP150
ms0:/PSP/GAME4XX;ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP4XX
ms0:/PSP/GAME;ms0:/PSP/BREW_GAME

As we see, PSP/GAME150, PSP/GAME4XX and PSP/GAME are TARGET directories, if they still exist on the Memory Stick (they should be empty now), delete them. You could have set up more target directories, make sure they are deleted.

User guide

You can switch your categories in the XMB by pressing the Right Shoulder button and the Right direction on the D-Pad simultaneously.

The currently used category will be displayed for a short time in the lower left corner of the screen.

Important: Never switch between categories while USB is active. That also applies for USB enabler plugins for the VSH/XMB.

Controls

R+D-Pad Right - Switch your category

Compatibility

Works on:

3.90M33-3
5.00M33-3
