[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.

I just read you removed copy from the context menu. I have some of the old source files so I'm going to mess around with it to see if I can get it to what you want it to actually do. Im not big on C# yet, but I'm pretty fluent in other languages, but with that said don't expect anything big

Copy was never a function, it was just that the treeview is a little weird with the way that the right-clicks work. When you right-click, it wouldn't select the node you clicked, and the previously selected node would still be selected, which could be problematic.

CODE

at FATX_Browser.STFS.STFSInfo.CheckBuffer()

I have a feeling that's what's causing it. Does it do it whenever you go in ANY folder, or just in that one? If it's happening with all of them, it's most likely where it tries to grab the STFS info for the package/file. If it's whenever you go in to a folder with files, try running my ye version:

Ok - I managed to drill down just about every other folder on my HDD (including other manually created folders as well as FSD's fsd2data folder) and it's fine. I can access and see files populated with STFS names. It's literally just this one folder which is causing it to bomb.

I'm calling it a bogey though - I copied the folder using another tool and re-injected it using yours (and the other one I used so I could compare the result) and it now opens fine. I've still got the full error log from the problem before, so if you want it, drop me a PM and I'll forward it on. However I'd say if anyone else has this issue, the above steps would resolve it.

Thanks for your help!
