Big update. Been working on it for some time.
Now it supports windows, linux and osx.
Added a 0GDTEX.PVR viewer.
It can also detect if you have the correct CodeBreaker image.
Menu is now created in GDI format. This way it will boot on non-MilCD compatible dreamcast.

Thanks sonik, this looks great.
I was about to code a 0GDTEX.pvr injector but you've already made one, so would you release the src? Do you habe any plans to integrate it into the manager?

I'm about to set up a REST-API for retrieving box covers, so your manager could fetch covers, possibly filtering by region and name, if this can be extracted from the .gdi, and inject them.

I might just do a fork if you're not into it.

Hi!
I have no plans on doing a injector on the manager.
Actually it's not a injector. It needs to extract and rebuild the gdi (and only works with gdi).
Long time I don't use it. Will test and see if it still works. Can release the source later.

Oh so It basically does the same as the batch files, just chained togheter. I'd be happy to have a look at the source because my C# is rusty as hell.

Here's the code. It's provided as is.
I used it long time ago. From what I remember it can extract the trexture and convert to png on same folder as gdi. can also read a png from same folder and convert to pvr and rebuild the gdi.
It's just a fancy front end to the various apps involved.

Hi!
I don't have access to a mac and I really have no clue on how to use one.
Please take a look at this topic

Does this tool do the same thing as madsheeps where it creates a game list so it doesnt have to parse through all the folders at launch? My SD card of 300 games takes forever to load, Madsheeps is supposed to cache the list if i have Menu option checked but it doesnt seem to be working, so looking for alternative. Using that other tool I already have my gdmenu as disc 01, all my others as folders 02 through 299, etc

and all the gdi files are named disc.gdi and have a name.txt folder in them

thanks!
