Soon after the release of Game Categories Revised, Bubbletune put out a few bug fix packages to address some little quirks that new users discovered in the software. Game Categories Revised v3 addresses the problem of a mysteriously memory stick icon that pops up on the screen at inappropriate times.

The V3 bugfix follows a quick fix that came out just this morning, titled v2. V3 is now the most current version, but users expect that some problems are still resident in the code. Here’s the changelog that was written for the second version:

• Fixed bug of PSX games not launching when they’re categorized.
• Fixed some odd bug which made categories show up twice, and some other weird stuff. (I had already fixed this in a late build of v1, but most news sites published the initial build, which still had this bug)
• It will no longer show the ‘Uncategorized’ icon if you don’t have any uncategorized games (in multi-ms mode).

Thanks to Bubbletune for bringing out the fixes so quickly. Grab the latest version right here and get started being more organized.

The last official release of PSP firmware was at the end of November 2008, and since then two separate custom firmware versions of 5.02 have appeared on the Internet.

One of the custom homebrewed firmwares was brought to us by XiaoFeiChong. This version was a recompiled M33 firmware, but XiaoFeiChong’s version doesn’t support backups, including ISOs or CSOs. Still, this is a great piece of firmware if you’re looking to get into CFW.

The second homebrewed firmware came from a group named Team Omega. Like in XiaoFeiChong’s version, there’s no support for back-ups. However, the group claims some “new support for PSX games,” but, as is often true with firmware updates, a lot of home-cooked software and plugins might get screwed up by this CFW install.

We’ve got both custom firmware 5.02 versions here, so you can give ‘em a spin if you’ve got the stomach for a potential aggravation. We’ll keep an ear to the ground for more CFW updates as they drop, so stay plugged in.
