Game Categories Lite v1.5-r3

Game Categories Lite v1.5 - Codestation

This plugin is based and uses source code from Game Categories Revised v12 (GCR) and Game Categories Light v1.3 (GCL), both created by Bubbletune. Compatible with 6.20, 6.3x and 6.60 CFW.

I changed the name of the project (doing a fork in the process) to avoid confusion with GCL and GCR (the plugin is based heavily in GCL since it doesn't use a kernel/user approach).

You can configure the folder prefix (use CAT_ for folders or not), showing uncategorized content and change the category mode in system settings.

You can get the source code from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Known issues:

>> Unknown if fixable:
Change of category in the PSPGo requires a VSH reset.

>> Unrelated to gclite:
ME doesn't merge the categories with the same name between /ISO and /PSP/GAME.

>> OFW limitation:
The Folder mode has a limitation of 30 characters for the combination of folder name + homebrew folder name,
e.g.: My Homebrews/AwesomeBigHomebrew is valid but My homebrews/AwesomeBigHomebrews isn't (i am not counting the "/").
Note: the japanese and other non-ascii characters are 2 bytes wide, e.g.: カラフル counts as 8 chars.

is the author of this project still working on this? There's still a few bugs on 6.60 ME

by **Bou** on Sun Feb 05, 2012 5:08 pm

I'm pretty sure Codestation stopped working on this, but it's open source so you never know someone else might pickup this project again^^
