Homebrew GameDiary - Update Notes

Good evening everyone, just dropping by to share the update notes for the latest version.

This version adds support for Italian and French. Special thanks to GAD_Alexander for reviewing the Italian translation.

The app now supports the following languages:
English, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, and French.

New features included in this update:

  • Multiple themes support (Dark and Light themes) available in Settings.
  • A new formatting section in Settings. Currently, it allows changing how total playtime is displayed:
    • Days - Hours - Minutes
    • Hours - Minutes
  • Online version checking support in the "About" section.
  • JSON database backup support.
  • Database export and import support.

Users can now export/import their database and also upload it to my website (the official link is available on GitHub). The website is still under construction, but it already includes two tools:

  • A database editor for adding games and sessions.
  • A database merge tool for combining multiple databases.

More website features will be added in future updates.

This version also includes minor visual bug fixes.

Known issue:
Some UMD games are still crashing the PSP when the plugin is enabled, including games like GTA. I'm already aware of the issue, but I need to wait for some UMD copies I purchased to arrive so I can properly test and fix the problem in future versions.

I've posted a couple versions of this before, but I've been working on it again and wanted to share the latest update.

It's called GameDiary — basically a way to track how much time you actually spend on your PSP, similar to modern consoles.

It runs as a background plugin and logs your play sessions automatically, even for PS1 (POPS) and homebrew. Then there's a separate app where you can view everything — total playtime, per-game stats, graphs, etc.

In this update I focused a lot on improving the overall experience.

I added a playtime graph for each individual game, and reworked the game carousel/list so it's smoother and more optimized. Overall navigation feels a lot better now.

Also fixed a few annoying issues:

  • small visual glitch during the transition between the game list and the game details (and when going back)
  • crash when pressing start/select on the splash screen
  • crash on PSP 1000 when changing categories in the game list

If anyone wants to try it, you can download it from GitHub:

There's also a small site for it (in construction):
https://game-diary-app.vercel.app/

Would love to hear any feedback or ideas.

Good evening everyone, first I'd like to thank the community for their support in testing some of the homebrew's features.

I've updated to version v0.1.0

I've made significant improvements such as:

-Support for other CFWs besides 6.61Ark-4

-Correction of invalid Japanese characters, especially in games with Japanese names.

-Addition of the German language.

-Correcting the time calculation for when playing until the next day.

-Many other improvements were made, but these are the main ones.

Anyone with suggestions, improvements, or criticisms is welcome.

Thank you all.
