BetterTrackPlug is a plugin that keeps track of how long you played your games, and an app to show you the values.
It is a fork of Rinnegatamante's TrackPlug with a better UI and support for PSP titles.
Feauters
- As it's rewritten as a kernel plugin, the files that record the playtime won't ever get corrupted.
- It only writes to file when you close/launch or suspend/resume the games so it doesn't murder your memory card, unlike the old one.
- Complete support for Adrenaline and Adrenaline Bubbles.
- You can add apps/games you selected to a blacklist (located at ux0:/data/TrackPlug/blacklist.txt).
- The app works at 60FPS instead of 30FPS.
Installation
Copy BetterTrackPlug.skprx to ur0:tai/.
Insert the plugin under *KERNEL in config.txt
*KERNEL ur0:tai/BetterTrackPlug.skprx
Install the VPK. Reboot.
User guide
It is advised you to set up your bubbles in a way that their title ID's will be the same as the corresponding PSP game's title ID instead of the default PSPEMUXXX.
This way, they will use the same file that stores the playtime and you won't see the game twice on the list if you launch it both from bubble or directly from adrenaline.
Controls
Up/Down - Navigate
Triangle - Prompt clearing playtime of the selected record, asks if you want to blacklist if you do clear the playtime
Screenshots
Changelog
V1.1
- Added blacklist support (Will prompt if you clear the playtime by pressing TRIANGLE).
- Fixed a bug where games with line-breaks in their names would display incorrectly.
- Fixed compiler warnings.
V1.0.3.1
- Changed to DolceSDK to save 32KB system memory.
V1.0.3
- Chinseng85 fixed an issue where if the played homebrew didn't have an icon, the app would crash.
V1.0.2
- Fixed a little issue that made the removed games come back from their grave. You will have to wait for blacklist update to remove TrackPlug entry, though.
V1.0.1
- Do not forget to reinstall the app even if it's installed.
V1.0
Changes From Rinnegatamante's Version:
- You now can track PSP games, thanks to Electry's hard work.
- Doesn't depend on kuio.skprx anymore.
- Has a nicer look imo.
- Works 60fps instead of 30fps.
- The scrolling is improved.
Known Issues:
- Do not launch psp games inside from Adrenaline, use Adrenaline Bubble Manager instead.
- In Adrenaline Bubble Manager, if you created the game's bubble with the BubbleID option set to PSPEMUXXX, the title names will not show up correctly.
- Homebrew apps do not show up.
Credits
- Special thanks to teakhanirons, dots-tb, cuevavirus and Team CBPS for helping me make this plugin and not losing their minds because of my questions. Without their help I wouldn't even know where to start.
- Rinnegatamante for LPP-Vita and making the idea of TrackPlug in the first place.
- Electry for his code chunk responsible for getting titles inside Adrenaline.
- ecamci for making the assets.
- chinseng85 for adding the ability to store games' icons so when you remove them, you will still be able to see their icons.
