    If you forget to do the USB workaround, you will see some Defect Files that can't be started (they are the remains of the cached last category), nothing to worry about imho.
    I will do my best and tbh have to ask around if there is a good way to flush the memorystick cache for the XMB.

    You could sub-categorize them too, e.g. "BREW_GAME_ACTION", "BREW_GAME_PUZZLE" etc. ;)

    Flushing the MS cache is easy. Just put this statement in your app.
    Code:
    sceIoDevctl("fatms0:", 0x0240D81E, NULL, 0, NULL, 0 );
    BTW, nice utility.

    I got it working. I think the USB icon turns into a sort of "refresh" or cache clear button to see your new category. It feels a bit rudimentary, but for what it does (organizes my long list of homebrews, apps, and ISO's) and for free, I can't complain :) Maybe AhMan's code can help make the process more intuitive.

    Just some suggestions, if you want them:
    - Option to remove the load text -- I can understand its purpose, but I don't like splashscreens or load text unless it has a purpose other than to tell me the obvious
    - Button Assignment! The switching process would be easier if the categories were assigned to other DPAD buttons

    Optional: Intrafont support. It would make the GUI look cleaner and is easier to read when it's sitting atop all the graphical elements

    Thanks for the nice app :)

    Mr305: it's based on renaming directories, nothing more, nothing less :)
    AhMan: I already knew of this piece of code and have put it before and after the operations on the file system, unfortunately without any success.
    alongcametheother: maybe you already have one or more plugins running and APPSwitcher isn't compatible to that/them?
    Psypher: a plugin being successfully loaded is a purpose, another purpose could be that I like to have my name on everyone's PSP at least for some seconds hmkay? I'll take the button assignment option on my Todo list ;)

    oh and Thanks for your comments so far, I didn't think that such a little plugin would be such a crowd-pleaser ;)

    It's just something that we naturally assume after running it successfully a few times. And if the app doesn't load properly, well, we'll probably find out within a second or two. Like I said, I understand why you want the loading text there. I respect your wishes, and we're priviledged to even be using this application -- it was only a suggestion. Thanks for taking the button assignment suggestion to consideration.

    And yeah, this plug-in has been something that's been asked for ages. I even think I made a thread or viewed some threads asking if such a plug-in exists. All I can say is, FINALLY :Punk:

    alongcametheother: well, please try with a minimalistic filled memorystick if thats possible for a first start. Having the memorystick formatted could be beneficial too. (Backup your previous stuff before that of course).

    i had the same thought
    even renamed and set everything up just like the readme states
    directory names and appswitcher.txt

    appswitcher.txt reads:

    ms0:/PSP/GAME150;ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP150
    ms0:/PSP/GAME4XX;ms0:/PSP/BREW_APP4XX
    ms0:/PSP/GAME;ms0:/PSP/BREW_GAME

    and directories are renamed as such

    i always have the best luck :)
    Murphy's Law and all that
    -=Double Post Merge =-
    the game folder that i renamed BREW_GAME works but nutin else

    That's kind of strange. I've just tested it and it worked for me. The way I've tested is I've another little seplugin which runs in parallel with yours. After I've pressed the button to switch Application Group, I pressed the note button which activates my little plugin and all it does is to call the sceIoDevctl.

    This statement should be placed after you've renamed directories and close all file descriptors. BTW, the flushing of MS Cache will also force all open files to be closed.

    just updated to 5.00 m33-2 just to check if itd work
    still same stuff

    before i upgraded it wouldnt let me use anything in the settings menu
    and would freeze on some of them

    it would let me see what was in the renamed game folder
    when i switched to another one it would show the no games message
    but then it would rename one of the folders back to the original name

    even tried all the little tricks to make sure it was saving on the stick correctly

    had to do all the file transferring through recovery since everything in the settings menu was broken
    figured this plugin reroutes the usb command anyways for its own use

    sorry really tired hope im making sense

    Hey guys,

    - The following is not an official release -

    Get the updated beta from http://mk2k.net/temp/appswitcher_1.1b-mk2k.zip

    the zipfile just contains the APPSwitcher.prx, replace the old with the new one.

    The new one doesn't show any text on the PSP screen, but writes messages to ms0:/appswitcher.log
    Please use the steps from the 1.0 readme to set up your PSP as intended and use the Right-Trigger+D-Pad-Right combination to switch.

    - The procedure to go to the USB activation/deactivation ISN'T necessary anymore.
    - the ISO directory still doesn't seem to work, so please only use switching with PSP/GAME etc.
    -> please also try other XMB functionality while this plugin runs (the issues reported by some of you should be gone now)

    please report back how it worked for you.

    thanks

    -- MK2k

    I'm on 4.01 M33.

    Worked great! At first I forgot to delete the existing GAME folder, so it didn't seem to work. Once I had done that, all went well.

    Thanks Mk2k!
