ROM Hack WIP Explode - An expansible file explorer designed to be a bit more tinkerer-friendly.

[SamTheSaminator]

This is Explode, a WIP file explorer that makes Switch hacking and identifying files easier. It has a simple UI, and a full plugin system which can be used to create plugins in any .NET language. It's completely free and open source. There's nothing really special about it... yet. There's still a lot to come.

This is still in beta and is quite unstable!

Hmm. Any popups about errors? Is ExplodePluginBase.dll in the same folder as the exe?

No errors and ExplodePluginBase.dll is in the same folder. Also i noticed that when ExplodeNintendoPlugins.dll is in the same folder as the exe nothing happens where as without it menu opens for a sec then closes.

What happens if you run it straight from visual studio? (open the project, Debug -> Start Debugging)

There we go - your working exe is in the projects "bin/debug" or "bin/release" folder.

I'm not really sure why that's happening. I've got to do stuff now so will try to fix it later.

Would you be interested in having an outsider do some UI work on this? I understand if you'd prefer to do it yourself, it's your baby. But I really like the concept and wouldn't mind helping out with the front-end so you can focus on getting core features up and running.

@milomc123 A pull request I submitted got merged that fixes a crash bug on launch, perhaps try that out.

I have no problems with that at all - another pair of hands, so to speak, is always a good thing. I've invited you to be a collaborator.
