- Recoded entire project.
- Added support for 5.50 GEN.
- Added new mode, “Context menu”, see below for more information (this replaces pre-game-menu mode).
- Added new option under System Settings to pick your mode instead of the ctrl combo.
- Added possibility to translate the plugin to your own language.
- Order of your categories is now calculated from their modification time instead of randomly.
- Changed remap code, a lot of character and count limits should now be gone or decreased, including SCE limits.
- Show All option was removed in order to aid the removal of certain limits.
- Fixed compatibility with a lot plugins.

Cool! now i can update to GEN! the only reason i downgraded back is because i couldnt use this plugin!( too many games/apps to look through)
nice i hope it works with some of my ctfs!
This has got to be the most helpful app i have ever seen.
I loved the idea of this app but the last version didn’t entirely work for me. But this looks awesome.
Just to check back in, I’ve installed and it works perfectly on my 5.00 M33-6 Phat.
This is an incredible piece of homebrew, this is up there with PSP Filer as one of the must haves for PSP. Amazing why Sony never implemented some shape or form of this.
well they (sony) haven’t made this themselves because they don’t assume ppl have tons of homebrew apps on one psp.
I mean, how many lame demos can one with original firmware have on a non-cfw-ed psp?
plus the one umd at a time game… not too much.
this is only super useful for us cfw users :)
yes indeed, the best app ever made for the psp, the most useful one ^^
does this work on a psp 3000 running on custom firmware enabler v3.60? and is it compatible on a running ctf theme?
This works fine with a CTF theme, but like I said above I’m using an older version PSP and CFW.
been waiting for this since june
I’ve always loved this plugin, I’m glad to see updates to it :)
Haha this is cool :) I love the people who make this stufs for us. Just “BRAVO” in my language or ”Good job dude” in English :P
Love this plugin, definately one of if not the best.
Also love the way it looks like it’s an official feature from Sony the way it’s integrated into the XMB and the options under System Settings…very professional…great stuff.
I really like this plugin. it works so seamlessly with the XMB. Except, i think thet could expand on this idea for the music folder too, as i have 5.00 m-33 6 and don’t have subfolders for usic. once again, a must have!!
not to sound too stupid but could someone give me a hand with this
on psp xmb i hit Select and i get the M33 VSH menu pop up, but where do i copy this .prx file etc ? How do i set it up ? first time using plugins really
I’ve installed in PSP3000 with Gen-A but there is no option under System Setting. But there is an option in VSH menu.
Anybody?
does this works with CTF themes
got it working fine – and its excellent, can u change the icons for the folders?
and yeah if this could be applied to the Music folders it be mega
I have to agree that getting this to work with other folders like Music and Photo would be awesome :3
I can confirm that this works for the psp 3000 with cfe 3.60.
Its not weird that Sony never integrated this in their official firmware. Its even pretty logical because normally you cant play .iso files from your memory stick, and normally you cant play homebrew applications, so why would Sony create a feature wich sorts your games fron your programs when you normally cant play them? This is a great plugin, wich is a must-have for everywone in the scene. A great piece of development!
Thanks! this plugin actually very useful to me! Thanks again!
i a noob at this i got it installed but how do i make the new folders to show up in the menu’s? i tried with no success.
read the readme.txt
i wish that u could “hide” the uncategorized. that is necessary, as i am using ultimate psptube 2.0 high memory mod. this isnt stand alone, instead, it boots the eboot.pbp in ms0:/psp/game/psptube/eboot.pbp so uncategorized only has the reg version uf ultimate psptube 2.0
You can “hide” the “Uncategorized” folder from the VSH. My Game folder only has “CAT_” folders in it, so “Uncategorized” doesn’t show up. I also have a “CAT_” folder for my ISOs.
It’s stated that support for GEN 5.50
NOT FOR GEN-A 5.03 :(
Consider switching to CFE 3.60
Bye GEN 5.03
I hope they can implement to the PHOTO section, because it will be VERY useful if we want to add our personal photos in other category so that it won’t affect the launching of ChickHEN in the photo section.
Cus as we know, we cannot add other photos in the Photo section for ChickHEN to work.
Wow! Just really awesome plugin, pretty useful for organizing missed up directory. I just wish it had some extra feature too for pic cat. Great work!
I LOVE this app! Thank you very much! <3
how do u rename the uncategorized memory stick?
You can “rename” the “Uncategorized” folder from the VSH. My Game folder only has “CAT_” folders in it, so “Uncategorized” doesn’t show up. Make sure that all of your folders under GAME are only “CAT_” folders.
I’m having issues using this plugin.
Im currently running 5.00 m33-6.
I have 2 CAT_ folders, one in ISO and one in GAME.
In the CAT_ISO folder I have my iso’s; same goes for my ISO_Homebrews, homebrews
I have them set up as “Context Menu” and whenever I select either of the categories the only thing that shows up is one “corrupted data” file. help :C
thanks in advanced
Caekchamp@live.com/@yahoo.com
aim/xfire: p4nd4zpwnu
btw,
the CAT_ISO folder has just ISO files
and my CAT_Homebrew folder has folders inside of the homebrews
if that helps any
It doesn’t sync with hellcat’s recovery flasher.. =/
but what the hell!! VERY USEFUL INDEED!! xD
hmm this is soo cool but when i put this name CAT_UMD some games can’t run or show with icons ”homebrew appl” WTF? and other bug i find too when i put the CAT_APP my net fond 4 browser not work, and CAT_EMU work but when CAT_EMULATORS i thing is too long to PSP can handle it… i dont knov . I use 5.50 GEN-B with PSP FAT i hope this can be fixet in the next release. Good luck
I just found out something…
When I put Rock Band Unplugged under ISO\CAT_Iso and my downloaded music tracks on Game\Cat_Iso, the game wouldn’t recognize the downloaded stuff. When I tried to put both of them outside the ‘CAT_’ folders to make the game detect the downloaded songs again, and they now both show up under ‘Uncategorized’, it didn’t work anymore. I guess I have to re-download the song add-ons…
