Download: PS3 Game List / PS3 Game List (Mirror - same version but will show more info should an error occur) / PS3 Game List v1.5

To quote: Hello all!

I wanted to quickly create a list of my backups. I didn't have any app that could do it, so I wrote a simple one and would like to share it. There might be other (more professional) apps, but it's nice to have alternatives.

The application scans for games in a directory and creates a list of games names and their respective IDs.

The list can be saved to a text file. Also games trophies can be browsed if they're available.

Hope you like it!

v1.5 Changelog:

• Added support for scanning games in network shared folders (proper permissions should be set)
  
• Browsing trophies while scanning for games.
  
• Double click an item on the list to show its text on a tool-tip.
  
• Fixed minor bugs.

To quote, roughly translated: What's New in version 2.50:

NOTE: From this version, I will be partially retired. Or put in another way: I will not be as active as before (only in case of "extreme" need I would work on it) and I hope that the inclusion of the new GUI other people are encouraged to continue to maintain and improve the program:

I have done everything possible to provide all the tools and materials needed, but now it's time to take a break and do other things and maybe others take over if they want to continue to implement things.
