About

• Our buddy Harcroft has been keeping a rolling list of missing content for nearly 20 years.
• The idea of this software is to cut out as much of the manual digging as possible, and expand on it as a tool to archive this data.

Hows this work?

• Drop UDATA and TDATA into a dump folder.
• Analyze the dump for userdata and DLC's, User Created Content, Content Update Files.
• (Optional) Analyze the dump for Homebrew content in a C E F G folder structure.

Todo

• Disect Disk images
• Import archived dumps
• Export output for easy viewing
• Add more flags for more specific searches
• Create "Homebrew" JSON file to identify homebrew content.
• Beautify output, to make it easier on the eyes.

Experimental Flags

• -fatxplorer: This flag will use a mounted E drive on partition X to scan.
• -update: This flag updates only the JSON. Useful between builds without major changes.
• -statistics: This will output statistics of the JSON, i.e totals.
• -titleid=ABCD1234: This will output the JSON details on a specific TitleID when provided.
