GameBoy Advance Good Dump Maker
-------------------------------
V 0.3 alpha release
This software is a complement to the OffLineList. It allow to patch any Gba rom unknown by OffLineList in order to try to find the good
Crc indicated in the gba.dat file.
For that, Gbagdm tests differents combinaisons de patch available and try to find the goid one.
For now, this software is capable of removing intros , to do trim FF & 00 and to isolate roms that become OK with a good CRC corresponding to the
gba.fat file CRC. Furthermore, this soft includes a library of several patches that can be applied to find a good rom.
The file gba.dat MUST be present in the directory of GbaGDM, you can find it here :
http://release.playeradvance.org/tool/Rele...aseList/gba.zip
The set of roms to test must be uncompressed into a directory. Generaly, we will copy the directory of uncknown roms created with OffLineList.
Manuel
------
The commands are :
Usage : java GbaGDM [options] name_of_dir
-t Test roms in name_of_dir without patching them
-i Test & patch roms in name_of_dir by removing intro with FF
-j Test & patch roms in name_of_dir by removing intro with 00
-h display the header of roms in name_of_dir
-? Display the help (but in french
)
-v Display the version
-F Test & patch roms in name_of_dir by removing FF or 00 at the end of it (trim ...)
-iF Test & patch roms in name_of_dir by removing FF or 00 at the end of it (trim ...) and the intro
-p Test & patch roms by applying matching patches available in the library
-pBF Test & patch roms by applying every patches available in the library (Brute Force ---> SLOW! )
-c Calculate the CRC of roms in name_of_dir
For some people, the command can be (it depends of the Installation of Java ...) :
java -cp . GbaGDM [options] name_of_dir
The file gba.dat MUST be present in the directory of GbaGDM
Every patched rom that becomes valid is moved in the directory name_of_dir/ok where name_of_dir is the directory given in the command line.
Roms the becomes OK are DELETED from name_of_dir
Some temporary files are created during the execution of GbaGDM but are deleted when program exits.
A lot of output trace are written to the screen.
FIRST it is recomended to try options in the order -i , -j and -p.
