NeoGeo game.bin.z ROM Generator & iNJECTOR for new NG Wii VC WADs
***BETA VERSiON***
Made by saulfabreg (@SaulFabre)

This tool allows you to make / create / generate a correct game.bin.z file from NeoGeo romsets (MAME/NeoRAGEx) and also inject them automatically into the first-generation of the new NeoGeo VC games for Wii which game file (game.bin.z) uses a strange type of ZLIB compression (NOT CRUSH / CR00 compression) in its game.bin.z (ex., KOF95, KOF97, Samurai Shodown III, Samurai Shodown IV, etc.), creating your own custom Wii VC WADs of your favorite NeoGeo MVS / NeoGeo AES games.

Well, the most interesting features are:

Posibility to make correct game.bin.z Neo Geo VC files for inject them in new Neo-Geo VC WADs of first generation of game.bin.z compression.
Checks automatically what is the biggest .app file (where usually is the game.bin.z stored).
Inject the resulting game.bin.z automatically in your NeoGeo VC WAD.
Auto-detection of size of each group of files (P, M, V, S, C) for make the header-generation easier
Compatibility with Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and x64 bits Windows OS

Special thanks to @sr_corsario (for the NG injection on new Wii VC WADs info and also for some code based in his old tool, and also for testing the tool), syring (for the UnxUtils split.exe splitting tool), Dirk Paehl (for the SimplyZip ZLIB compression tool), @stev418 from @0RANGECHiCKEN (for the game.bin.z compression info), @G0dLiKe (for the interest in game.bin.z compression found on KOF97), kikex-box and the SpekSNK community (for the NeoGeo to NeoGeo CD Graphics Converter), @waninkoko (for the NeoGeo Byte Swapper), the uCON64 team (for the uCON64 tool), @icefireicefire (for the u8it tool from WADder), Superken7 (for FreeTheWads tool), @torito21 and BFGR (for their WAD tools), and @Zorg1996 (for the big Wii VC injection support to me and testing of the tool) for the help and also for pushing me to make this tool.
