Nope. Maybe I'll add the compile feature to CB2crypt, but cb2util is command line only.

Actually, even Windows' cmd.exe has only little in common with ancient DOS. But it's certainly true that command line interfaces (CLI) only excel on Unix/Linux shells.

A CLI allows you to do amazing things without too much effort. Let's assume you have a folder containing 100 CodeBreaker code saves. The following command extracts all cheats from the 100 files, decrypts the codes, and writes the result to cheats.txt.

Code:

$ cb2util cbc --decrypt /some/folder/*.cbc > cheats.txt

Try to do the same thing with a GUI.

Well, I guess cb2util v1.1 is complete.

As for the cheats file, here's how it's gonna work: https://github.com/misfire/cb2util/b...op/README#L121

I'll be releasing the official version tomorrow, along with a Win32 build. Stay tuned.

this i know but it still doesn't mean it's as easy as a gui i remember using some software that needed about a 300 character strings

I guess a Win32-Implementation into CB2Crypt would be nice and useful.
I think those guys from PS3-Tools.de could make a good use out of your newer CB2util.

Enjoy.

Hey misfire, I tried out the new cb2util last night and I had a quick question. I created a txt file with a bunch of cheats, converted it to a 'cheats' file with cb2util 1.1. Then put that on the mem card in the right place and loaded codebreaker. My list showed up!!! But unfortunately I had put in bad codes or something because whenever I tried to launch a game with cheats selected, the ps2 would lock up. With no cheats selected it would boot just fine. So I found good cheats, input a couple manually and they worked. So now that I have good codes, I created a new txt file with them. I converted them and moved the 'cheats' file over. This is where there was a problem! Codebreaker would not see the new 'cheats' file. I think it was pulling the old one (with bad codes) out of some cache somewhere. Even if I went into ulaunchelf and completely deleted the 'cheats' file, it would still pull up my list of bad games. I tried disconnecting the power and waiting for a bit to see if that would clear out any cache, but I just could not get codebreaker to see the second 'cheat' file I created. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Do you have a HDD connected to your PS2?

Mind posting the cheats file you're uploading?
