So injecting files is one of the best features? I am going to guess it is working perfectly, could there be something that can be added or altered? Let me know!

Sorry for the lack of updates around here but it’s nice out side for once! So before I get back into action, I need idea’s! Post some idea’s as to what type of stuff you guys want to see on here. Apache and Munge Explorer are not dead projects, there still an on going development. So again, post ideas!

A tutorial section has been added. To start it off, I have added 2 tutorials by myself about LBA tables, they are kind of old but all the methods are still usable. If there is enough interest I will create a sample tool or something in those terms and make it open source.

PS. Remember the g00gle links!!!!

This time there has been a huge update. There are currently over 140~ recognized file types that have been incorporated into MEv1.6.7.13.

The list of file types is just way to long to post here. Grab the latest release from below.

After countless hours of banging my head against my desk, I finally have a release ready! If you have an older version of Apache3 (v3.1.0 preferred) you can use the auto updater feature to update OR you can download it from the link below.

Here’s a quick update log:

02/15/08
added window memory,size of window stays the same as it was closed
added hour/minute/seconds to modified column
fixed bug where if incorrect image is loaded the “image info,extract all,ect” buttons stayed enabled
fixed :when you press bin2iso and hit cancel the conversion box would come up still.

02/12/08

fixed bug in gc routine that caused incorrect reading of file size
fixed preference layout
added “exit” button under file menu
added “close image” feature which will blank out tool like during intial launch
added file size values using KB/MB/GB instead of bytes
added color coded lines for image view

01/05/08
fixed support for “CVM” files, now able to extract (thanks alot gnie!)

12/17/07
added hex editor (beta stage)
added office 2007 skin

Again, I am not the best note taker so there are a lot more additions as well as fixe’s that have not been noted. I do however need feed back, as the title of this post suggests, this release is in “BETA” mode. Meaning there may be software glitches here and there, so if you run into one please make sure you either send an email to support@pixoda.com or post a comment under this errr…… post.

Also for the graphic guru’s out there, I am in need of a new icon or rather a whole new icon set dedicated to Apache3. So if anyone is up to the challenge and needs a project please post or email.

PS. There is a new poll open, please vote in your opinions, thanks!

Download Apache3 v3.10.6

Well its been a while since I informed you guys about the progress of Apache3. I have worked on it for some time now and fixed alot of bug’s and there are still many features to be fully functional still. As an update, ROFS CVM files are now fully supported by Apache3 as well as alot of various types of “.IMG” files. The user interface has been worked on as well, here’s a quick screen shot of the files view:

As you can see the file size’s are now easily readable and the background color of the lines are colored. I noticed that this feature would come in handy when I was working with CVM files, so I hope it helps out. Along the same lines, FileScan has been updated as well, updates include faster scanning and an updated database.

There has been alot of progress made and I am trying to keep the update’s to a minimal, the new version is almost ready for release so stick around!

PS. Please donate if you appreciate my work, there is a donation box on the top right hand of the sidebar and if you can’t do that then please click on the G00gle ad’s, all fundings are going to hosting this site as well as keeping me motivated to release more software. Thanks!

I have just installed the “Intense Debate” plugin. Now adding comments as well as discussing stuff will be a lot faster+smoother. You can find this under each postings comment section.

As I was cleaning up the code for Munge explorer I found a error in my coding. The error has been in the code for a few of the release’s and is the cause of files not being rebuilt correctly. Before when user’s would rebuild there file the tool would grab a random number for the amount of files, thus writing incorrect entries for most of the file.

Another feature has been added to Munge Explorer, when rebuilding AFS files the tool will rebuild the name table as well. The name table is not necessary to have but it does make the AFS 100% like original (if rebuilt without modifying).

Grab the latest release, if there are any new errors that come up please let me know.

Download Munge Explorer v1.3.7.13

In order for me to update Munge Explorer for Front Mission I need your help. Since there is no name table and there are about 10,000 files I want to make life easier for you guys by adding an extension recognization feature. In order to do this I need the header information, please follow the following steps to get this information.

Tools Required:

Hex Workshop (or equivalent)

1. Extract DVDIMAGE.DAT using “ME”, once extracted you will have a new folder called “@DVDIMAGE.DAT”

2. Browse into “@DVDIMAGE.DAT” folder and start selecting random files, once selected open them up in your hex editing software. Try to find something unique and note it. Highlight the unique bytes and write down the “Unsigned Long” value which can be found on the bottom window. I will need the highlighted value, unsigned long, and the offset you obtained this information.

3. Once you have retrieved this information, put it in a format that can be read such as the following:

Sector:

Highlighted Hex:

Unsigned Long:

Number of bytes:

If you are confused don’t hesitate to ask, post a picture if you have to.
