SfsTools

[ru2aqare]

I present SfsTools, a set of user-space applications which can access and read/write SFS disk images. Please do try it out. Bug reports and general feedback is much appreciated. The code is located at https://code.google.com/p/sfstools/, a C# compiler will be needed to compile it.

Edit: binaries attached.

I was expecting a *nix-compatible tool, but no, it had to be .NET . What's the advantage of that over VB?

It's currently in a proof of concept stage. If there is enough interest, I will reimplement it in C. Nevertheless there is Mono for you *nix fans.

That is not a solution, that's a kludge..

Combuster was trying to communicate that he's already written a "Windows-only" SFS tool, so what does your project contribute?

[Love4Boobies]

And there are already other operating systems out there so what do any of us have to contriubte? Cut the guy some slack

Also, the "why C#?" sounds to me like the NIH syndrome. I don't know about the .NET framework (which Combuster mentioned but the author didn't) but C# *is* an awesome language, perhaps the best high-level language I've seen - look into it.

What about providing some binaries (they don't have to remain up-to-date, just so we can see an example)? I doubt a lot of people here are willing to download a C# compiler (if they have none) just to compile and try out your utility.

Providing binaries is a sensible idea, I attached them to the original post.

Well, now you have *two* "Windows-only" tools. Other than that, mine has comments.

The source is there, if you want a *nix version that badly, just take it and start rolling your own. If there is enough interest in this, I will at some point make a C version too.

What is the licensing and is there any p/invokes or such? Have you tried to compile and run it on a *nix system?

The code is licensed under the MIT license, as it is stated on the googlecode site. The code is 100% managed code, there are no P/Invoke calls. As for your question, I have currently no access to a *nix box, but I'd expect it to run without a hitch under Mono.

You can also check it.
