[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.

Bump & Update -- 1.0.0.8

This one's sort of funny actually, and really goes to show that you shouldn't copy and paste code just because you're lazy. I've got two functions that are basically the same, just serve different purposes (one's for writing a FAT chain, the other is for clearing a fat chain), and they've got the same names... within my delete function, it called to the writing function, therefore causing it to re-write what I just deleted. WEAK. Besides that, this update adds drag and drop support, fixes a threading issue, and has some better error handling.

EXE will auto-update (don't feel like posting that), source:

How come your using mega upload?

Lowering the bandwidth used on gamerfreak's server.

Also, @Martinchris, do me a favor and try out the new version that I pushed out (v1.0.0.9).
