Changes:
- Added support for the custom firmware 5.00 M33-4 (due to the new Shutdown option being added, a lot of offsets changed).

This plugin allows you to categorize your game menu and keep it more organized.

Requirements:
- A PSP with 5.00 M33-3/M33-4 or higher (it may break in the future, therefor I will update it as soon as I have the chance to do so).

Instructions:
- Copy 'game_categories.prx' and 'vsh.txt' to the seplugins folder, if you already have a 'vsh.txt', modify it instead of copying the included one.
- Enable the plugin in the recovery menu.
- Create folders prefixed with 'CAT_' in the GAME, GAME150, GAME5XX or ISO folder.
- Fill them with everything you want to appear for that specific category (if you have the same category name in two or more folders they will be mixed).
- Keep the Sony file length limitations in mind, due to the name of the category being added to the total length, the length of each filename will increase even more. If a corrupt icon shows up, try lowering the length of the filename.
- Boot your PSP, open vshmenu and select the appropriate category (a new option will be added by the plugin, this will happen seamlessly and everything should keep working).

Notes:
- If you change category while currently in the game menu, it will automatically leave the game menu and recache the directory.
- A 'Show all' and 'Uncategorized' option are available in case you need them.

Have fun.

It can be found here.

I know you! I know you! I know who you are
(great to see you here as well )

OK, no, now, serious:
Looks like a great update, and pretty quick indeed, seeing that I only noticed 5.00M33-4 beeing released a few hours ago.

Will download and testdrive! *thumbsup*
Will report any trouble, but I doubt I'll run into any.

BTW: I had to recommend your previous versions of this plugin quite some times already when beeing asked if sub folder ot the such would be possible in the game ment.
So far noone blamed me for a having made a bad suggestion

Yeah, I changed the name of the plugin and started again with the version numbers. It does seem to cause some confusion though, I might change it back if a new version comes (if at all).
