Initial requirements:
-have at least a game ISO or demo/homebrew that contains an internal name (ex. ProQuake) in memstick\PSP\GAME;
-wipe recent games list or remove ppsspp.ini (wiping recent games list is enough to reproduce).
Steps to reproduce:
-Wait for a new revision (required, it doesn't reproduce if you rewind your current branch repository head);
-Launch PPSSPP from repository manually or from VS2013 (doesn't seam to matter, also doesn't matter if you build the new PPSSPP revision or not), switch to homebrew / demos tab and witness the issue (PPSSPP will show the filename of the ISO file instead of it's internal name).

Workarounds: Switch homebrew/demos to grid view and back to list view or restart PPSSPP.
Moving the executable. assets, flash0, lang and memstick folders to another location doesn't help.
Issue reproducing is certain for 32-bit Windows.
As per @ufdada's suggestion, here is a screenshot of the game details (the information is exact, but if I click 'Back' I get back to the state from screenshot above):

What´s the code for this one? Could you just click on the game and holding it until it starts blinking, then a game screen should pop up, would be interesting to see a screenshot from this one.

I would really like to have an ini option to choose what to see...the name taken from the sfo(if I remember correctly) file inside the image or the image name.

The names of some games just don't look good

Updated PPSSPP to v0.9.7.1-33-gb894bd9 and couldn't reproduce it anymore. I have no idea what fixed it, but it is something recent. The switch to VS2013 project files made no difference. I think it got fixed in the last 72 hours or so.

I think this is a race condition in the GameInfoCache stuff, so it should be pretty random, are you sure it was completely fixed before -50?

Well. actually not at all; just because I wasn't enable to reproduce it, it doesn't mean it was truly fixed. Yes, most likely it was suppressed somehow and now it resurfaced.

This issue is still present. The more stuff you have in homebrews and demos storage the higher the chances for at least one item to have filename displayed instead of its title. Definitely a race condition.

Interesting, I thought I managed to eliminate this race but apparently not..

How many do you have to get to make it happen? I'm pretty sure I have not seen this occur in quite a while, or possibly I've never seen it occur.

Still happen.it's easy to reproduce,
Reset computer,then open ppsspp.exe and click games tab, and maybe need to scoll down.
