Homebrew [Early WIP] bluelist - a script-based whitelist editor for DSi

[dr1ft]

Still a VERY early work in progress; no binary releases yet. It's not quite ready for public use, so this thread is more of a request for help than a !!! BIG RELEASE THREAD !!!

Features:
Rudimentary scripting system to automate building specialized whitelists (not heavily tested)
Automatic decryption (via twltool) and key extraction from Launcher
Automatic encryption (via ndstool), parsing and insertion of ROMs into the whitelist (not sure if this works at all at the moment)
Arbitrary NDHI check region insertion (a la RocketLauncher )
Insertion of any number of dummy entries into NDHT and NDHX sections the whitelist

Planned:
Automatic twlnf script generation

As per the usual, if you brick your system with this, I'm not responsible, yadda yadda.

Please feel free to contribute to this if you know C# and have a decent understanding of the DSi whitelist system, though be warned that my code is beyond ugly.

Is this what you were waiting for @Apache Thunder?

Does this script preserve alphabetical order of the entries when adding them? Launcher is really picky about that and if order is broken, Launcher fails to accept any entries after the game code that broke the order.

Also note RocketLauncher relies on white list being a specific file size. Once it's released that size will be known. I did add 10 or so dummy entries to each section to facilitate adding entries without changing file size. As long as you design your script to accommodate that, this may be useful for when RocketLauncher is released.

Yeah, it does preserve alphabetical order. I could implement filling in dummy entries pretty easily.

new hope now lives here?

 

[dr1ft]

Dummy entry insertion is implemented now via the "adddummies" directive.

AHA.
I KNEW IT.

You won't release the size without a tool like this being finished, but no one can finish this tool without the size, therefore it will never actually be released.

1) bluelist is not strictly designed for rocketlauncher, and offers directives for inflating the size
2) it's possible they don't know exactly what size the list needs to be quite yet for certain, since there can be much variance in testing
don't rush them. developing these sorts of things can take a long time, especially with jobs and school and such. have some damn patience.

Whatever happened to this? Is there a reason it got deleted?
