Hi.
It's not currently planned. Unfortunately I don't have the time to implement it.
Can you test it with Wine or other ways to run windows apps on linux?
Edit: To target other OS's it would also need versions of cdi4dc, gdishrink and mkisofs.
Compressed files would not be supported as it needs 7z.dll

Could you import the library into Linux version? See: https://github.com/stonewell/lib7zip
Is it doable?
from gdmenucardmanager.
Big need here, as 7zip are much smaller than ZIP for these images and it's how I've kept them archived.
I suggest you to compress your images with chdman
, if you care... 😉

Thanks for a quick reply. I will check it with Wine, for now I manually put GDI's into SD card, however it would be really good to have separate software to do this for me. I'll let you know here about the results.
from gdmenucardmanager.
When you say "manually"... are you just putting the folders/files on the card? Or you also rebuild the menu image for it to boot faster?
I'm looking into ways to port it to another platforms.
Done a quick test with a small program and it seems doable!
I will have to migrate the code to .Net Core and redo the GUI.
Can't guarantee it will work. And even if works, some features will have to be cut like GdiShrink and support for compressed files.
Hope to have news in a few weeks.

Yes, this is how I install games on SD Card. Like an animal 😬

Great news! Really looking forward to it.

Please check if your distro comes with mkisofs.
And please check if this program works:

I second a desperate need for this utility in Linux. When executed in WINE, I get an error indicating that I'm missing DotNet 4.0 despite WINETRICKS showing me that I already have it installed in the current WINEPREFIX I've got selected as the default.
from gdmenucardmanager.
The linux (and mac) version is almost ready. I just need to do some tests.
What distro do you use?
I'm testing on Ubuntu on a VM. It mounts my card reader on /media/.... It''s the common way to handle removeable storage devices?

I think so, it mounts mine also on /media/... I am using Ubuntu 20.04.
from gdmenucardmanager.
Yep! Correct! The way Ubuntu's automounting works--it mounts flash drives in /media/userid/volumename

Might be handy to do something equivalent to this tiny bit of BASH code to detect plugged-in USB flash drives. I tested it out and it worked reliably.

New release is ready! Go for it! :)
Linux port is using AvaloniaUI. It currently does not support drag-and-drop from the desktop.
Dragging and dropping is a great function of the program. I don't like not having it. But I've done my best.
If you need to add a bunch of GDI files it will be a pain. You will have to add one by one.
Please test and let me know if there are any problems.
from gdmenucardmanager.
I will have to look into it. Can't guarantee.
It's a C library and I have no idea how to integrate it with C# on linux.
And p7zip is an unofficial port of 7z. Last updated in 2016.
from gdmenucardmanager.
Big need here, as 7zip are much smaller than ZIP for these images and it's how I've kept them archived. I use a shell script to create and burn images for now since GDMENUCardManager couldn't do 7z natively. I'd rather use GDMENUCardManager but my hands are tied until it does (not that the shell script doesn't work well).

I will look into it.
But I can't guarantee as I don't have much free time to work on it.

You can find two updated (2021) releases:
Official original Linux alpha release
or
another p7izp (unofficial) fork, updated

Hadn't used this before. Does it actually compress? It's designed for MAME/MESS but if it truly does compress smaller than 7z (I find it hard to believe that it does) then that would make a viable candidate for a compress/decompress option to add to GDMENUCardManager. I'm not a #net coder, though. Does a CHD library show up as an available option?
miles@unicron:~$ chdman --help
chdman - MAME Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) manager 0.195 (unknown)
Usage:
chdman info: displays information about a CHD
chdman verify: verifies a CHD's integrity
chdman createraw: create a raw CHD from the input file
chdman createhd: create a hard disk CHD from the input file
chdman createcd: create a CD CHD from the input file
chdman createld: create a laserdisc CHD from the input file
chdman extractraw: extract raw file from a CHD input file
chdman extracthd: extract raw hard disk file from a CHD input file
chdman extractcd: extract CD file from a CHD input file
chdman extractld: extract laserdisc AVI from a CHD input file
chdman copy: copy data from one CHD to another of the same type
chdman addmeta: add metadata to the CHD
chdman delmeta: remove metadata from the CHD
chdman dumpmeta: dump metadata from the CHD to stdout or to a file
chdman listtemplates: list hard disk templates
For help with any command, run:
chdman help <command>
from gdmenucardmanager.
There's an implementation of the 7z decompression in c#.
Last time I checked it was very slow. I need to test it again. Might be viable to use in linux (and osx).
About chd I don't think there's any library usable in c#.

Sure, but will it compress better than 7z (which seems to do a surprisingly good job on multimedia/disk images).

Well, just try it by yourself... Just remeber to use latest chmand (0.231 at time of writing)!!!
from gdmenucardmanager.
Implemented 7z and rar support for linux by using the SharpCompress lib.
@cinnamonmatexfce and @Mi1ezDR please go to the releases and grab the file named BETA.
It needs some testing. Let me know of any problem.
