Measured in quality and not quantity is PartQual with a new version of his Windows tool — pspHBSortTool v2.0 — which as the name suggests is responsible for sorting your memory stick loaded collection of PSP homebrew.

You should also know pspHBSortTool is compatible with the Game Categories plugin… So if you’re using that, and it’s not running in “content browser” mode, you may preferentially reorder whatever categories you have defined.

pspHBSortTool v2.0:

• Upgraded background DevEnv;
• Added icon and title to on-screen information (not for CSOs);
• Added lots of error handling for odd events;
• Added rollback option when file/folder lock encountered.

Take a break from that Kit Kat bar and upgrade to Game Categories v9. It adds this new categorization mode called “Content Browser” that is no doubt, in my opinion, the best mode. It’s so seamless, so fine — Bubbletune’s Game Categories v9.

Game Categories Revised v8 —

It’s the same must-have plugin you know and love, only this time, Context Menu Mode has been improved and now displays more than just 4 items. As well, v8 adds the ability to hide the uncategorized category should your homebrew be, well, uncategorized… And if it is, I gotta ask: Hello McFly!? Anybody home? Why are you using this plugin in the first place? That’s a rhetorical question, so whatever the circumstance, enjoy Bubbletune’s Game Categories v8.

Uncategorized ‘brew can be hidden by creating an empty file called “gc_hide_uncategorized.txt” in ms0:/seplugins.

Game Categories v8 Changes:

• UTF-8 support was not correctly implemented for language files, fixed.
• Improved Context Menu Mode, now shows a larger number of items instead of only four.
• Added ability to completely hide uncategorized even if there are files floating around (see readme for instructions).
• Tried to fix a rather strange crash that occured in all sorts of instances.
