We don't currently maintain a database of all games, the information shown currently is read directly from the game ISO itself. Game ISOs don't contain genre information, so we have none to display.

So this is really a request to maintain and include some metadata about all known games. Which has many uses, including ISO validity checks and so on, which could be useful.

We could start with a small list and let people contributes, just like translations ;) Btw we already have some data as a base at https://report.ppsspp.org/games right? which already contains genre information.

Huh? Where do you see genre info on report.ppsspp.org?
