PBP Unpacker v0.21 for Windows

pdc · Post by **pdc** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 6:36 am

As an excercise for my rusty programming skills, I have developed a PBP unpacker.
PBP being the archive/format used for the firmware update, of course.

I'm sure this program will come in handy for those of us who need to extract these files!
It will save a few mins in the hex editor ^_^

Features are basic but include:
(+) Extracting all files to selected directory.
(+) Extracting selected file(s) to chosen destination.
(+) Previews of picture files, displaying the main preview pic by default.
(+) Text previews of small files, e.g. SFO files.

Suggestions are welcome but I think it pretty much does what it needs to!
Next addition will be the ability to add, remove and replace files.

While you're at it, add a preview of the sfo file contents.

And you could as well provide the source, since it could help poeple who also are quite rusty with their win32 programming skills :)

Updated to provide previews for small files.

@Pixel, I intend to provide the source as soon as I tidy it up and comment it.

Tnx Modman. I don't need any help myself thanks :)

Looks awesome! Unfortunately, My mac can't run Win32 code. And I'm too lazy to turn on the PC :).

Careful andy, comments like that can lose you your programming license ;)

Source available now.
It's reasonably tidy/commented.
