You want to create a pkgi.txt file in ms0:/PSP/GAME/PKGI/ that incorporates the objects obtainable for set up. The textual content database format is person customizable. Test this part to discover ways to outline your personal customized DB format.

You possibly can refresh and sync an internet database by including the DB URL(s) to the config.txt file in ms0:/PSP/GAME/PKGI/.

For instance:
url http://www.mysite.com/mylist.csv
url_demos http://www.demos.com/otherlist.csv
url_emulators http://www.instance.com/emulators.csv
Utilizing this setup, pkgi.txt shall be up to date with mylist.csv, pgi_demos.txt with otherlist.csv , and pkgi_emulators.txt with emulators.csv.

Subsequent time you open the app, you’ll have an extra menu choice known as Refresh. When you choose it, the native databases shall be syncronized with the outlined URLs.
