[beta] Party Buffalo Drive Explorer Options

[CLK Rebellion]

[This is a copy/paste from another board, so please excuse me if something doesn't make sense or out of context]

This app is pretty self explanatory -- created by me from ground-up, and has been in development for a while now. To use, connect your drive (if using a drive), press File>Open>Open Drive Selector>Select your drive. If you're not using a drive, load your file by going to File>Open>Open Dump.

Features so far...

• Backing up of drive
• Extracting files
• Reading files
• Reading backups/files that are a single FATX partition (such as the xlaunch.fdf file found in devkats)
• USB support added 1/13/2010

Future updates...

• Adding support for memory units
• Backing up security sector, josh sector -- Done.
• Writing to individual sectors/clusters
• Reading fromm individual sectors/clusters
• STFS implimentation (so you can see the game name/file name of an STFS package) -- Done.
• Maybe undeletion... -- Done.
• Anything else that people would want
• Package creation

One known issue I want to address is when extracting multiple files from a hard disk, it will throw an error about the handle not supporting asynchronous operations, etc. -- working on that.

Instead of keeping this closed-source, and having licensing and all that junk, I've decided I'll just make it open-source. I figured it would be too annoying for Cheater912 for me to ask him every time I need to update for him to obfuscate the executable, and then to have to create a licensing system would be annoying as hell.

Quick note if you peek at the source code...
The code in just about every single one of the forms is really messy. Please excuse that. Also, if you use the dev build, you're doing so at your own risk... I wrote a lot of the code in the writing quickly, and have barely tested any of it. So if you're using a hard drive, or anything else you don't want to get messed up on accident, please use enable beta mode by changing the bool at line 16 of the main form to true.

WOW saved my butt big time! Someone thought it would be funny to delete my profile off my usb stick! This program opened my partitioned usb stick and was able to undelete my gamertag!

I wasn't able to inject the gt back into the usb stick but xtaf gui took care of that but it doesn't have undelete!

Enjoy the donation! I've been working on this undelete for about 6 hours and your program did it in a few minutes.

Sweet, thanks! I really appreciate it! You aren't able to inject your gamertag back in because I'm still working on some of my writing functions, but those should be done fairly soon.

Edit:

1.0.0.7 -- includes writing. I just tested injecting a folder in to my thumb drive, and it showed up perfectly on my Xbox. All game saves were there, nothing appeared to be corrupt...

Other changes in this build:
•I removed basically everything except the "Extract" function from the treeview's context menu. Reason for that is I noticed that when you right-click on an object, it doesn't actually select it. So say you right-click on your profile but beforehand you clicked on the "Content" folder -- it's going to extract the content folder vs. the folder you right-clicked, and there's no way (that I know of?) for me to fix that. I figured it'd be safer to remove the writing functions from that so you don't accidentally overwrite something you shouldn't...
•Fixed the listview not being cleared after opening the drive selector
•"Get Help Online" in the "Help" menu item actually has something there now
•Entire re-code of the extracting form

I really have to stress this though: if you think the app isn't do anything, but it's responding to input (that is, when you click on it, it doesn't say "(Not responding)") -- it's probably doing something. When writing to your drive and you need to overwrite something first, it will go through and delete everything within that folder (if you're deleting a folder), therefore causing a little bit of a delay. And please, if you feel a little bit worried about writing to your device -- make a backup.
