What is this?
A plugin that keeps track of how long you played your games, and an app to show you the values.
How is this "Better"?
- As it's rewritten as a kernel plugin, the files that record the playtime won't ever get corrupted.
- It only writes to file when you close/launch or suspend/resume the games so it doesn't murder your memory card, unlike the old one.
- Complete support for Adrenaline and Adrenaline Bubbles.
- You can add apps/games you selected to a blacklist (located at ux0:/data/TrackPlug/blacklist.txt)
- The app works at 60FPS instead of 30FPS.
How do I install this?
Just put BetterTrackPlug.skprx under *KERNEL in config.txt
*KERNEL
ur0:tai/BetterTrackPlug.skprx
install the vpk. Reboot.
How do I use this?
- UP/DOWN to navigate.
- Triangle to prompt clearing playtime of the selected record, asks if you want to blacklist if you do clear the playtime.
Notes
As it's currently not possible for me to extract icons from inside Adrenaline, games launched directly from Adrenaline won't have any icons if there is no corresponding bubble for the said game. I also don't think it would be efficient even if I knew how to do it.
Please let me know if you see any bugs, it would be extremely helpful.

- Electry for his code chunk responsible for getting titles inside Adrenaline.
- ecamci for making the assets.
- chinseng85 for adding the ability to store games' icons so when you remove them, you will still be able to see their icons.
