GameDiary v1.0.1 by OniMock

Two parts: a plugin that notes the time while PSP games, PS1 games and homebrew run, and an app that shows play time per game, the total, each session and weekly graphs. The plugin also copies each game's icon for the list. The app is in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese, and picks the PSP's system language.

It needs custom firmware such as ARK-4, PRO or ME. Copy GameDiary.prx to ms0:/SEPLUGINS/ (ef0:/SEPLUGINS/ on the PSP Go's internal storage) and the GameDiary folder to /PSP/GAME/. Then turn the plugin on:

- ARK-4: add psp, GameDiary.prx, on to SEPLUGINS/plugins.txt. Add the same line starting ps1 for PS1 games and starting game for homebrew.
- Other custom firmware: add ms0:/seplugins/GameDiary.prx 1 to game.txt, and to pops.txt for PS1 games.
- Restart the PSP or reset the VSH.

In the app, Start opens the main menu, Select the settings, Square filters by category and L shows help. With the in-game hotkey turned on, L + R + Select stops or starts tracking the game you're in. Settings, Backup, Export writes a backup.json that the author's website can edit or merge with another console's.

The author says the on-screen notice for that hotkey can flicker in some games.
