GameDiary vs Pyroblast

GameDiary tracks PlayStation Portable game playtime in the background and presents statistics for individual games and the full library. Its PSP release has a kernel-mode tracking plugin and a user-mode application. Tracking covers native PSP games and PlayStation 1 classics running through POPS; statistics include session history and activity graphs. The plugin also extracts icons from EBOOTs and ISOs. The interface supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese, with language detection from PSP settings. Web tools let users edit sessions visually and merge backup files from multiple Memory Sticks or PSP consoles. The responsive web interface works from a PC or smartphone with a backup.json file exported by the PSP app. Installation requires a PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, or Go with custom firmware and a Memory Stick or MicroSD-to-MS adapter. The project is free under the MIT License. Some homebrew that overwrites RAM boundaries or uses custom interrupts may temporarily pause tracking intervals.

Pyroblast is a browser-based service for bringing gaming activity from Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox into one profile. It detects and logs sessions without manual input, recording the game, start time, and duration. Connected libraries, playtime, achievements, and rankings appear together, with trophies and achievements collected in an achievement vault. Its Global Arena has boards for achievements, mastery of game difficulty, and lifetime play hours. Players can also review timelines, streaks, habits, play patterns, and a year-in-review recap. The service may generate AI-powered gameplay summaries, recommendations, and profile descriptions. Profiles can be public or private, and only public ones appear in the Arena. Pyroblast says it uses authorised platform APIs and permissions users grant, does not circumvent platform privacy settings, and does not sell or share data with third parties. It is free to start at free, with connections for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The terms require users to be at least 16 years old; the current homepage describes browser access, while desktop and mobile applications are described as future offerings.
