ROM Dumper/Extractor

[wandrerx]

I'm working on a Titan specific ROM Dumper/Extractor (you add whatever ROM and it extracts everything). Are any experienced cookers interested in trying and checking if the outputted files are intact and ready for build? They've gone fine through BuildOS but as far as cooking is concerned, I've only been into this for a month so I don't really know what to do after using BuildOS :P Eventually this may become a universal titan rom kitchen maker(or is it already but just missing a few tools, I dunno)...

The batch is only valid for the extraction so far!

THIS IS NOT A KITCHEN (yet)

This also takes a lot of MB when finished extracting as you have these directories:

Ingredients\ExtractedFromNBH
Ingredients\dump(original dump/backup for manually using PKGTool or whatever tool)
Ingredients\Packages(the automatic PKGTool output)
Ingredients\SplitOS(NBSplit output)

There is also a complete batch file on the ppcgeeks ftp in the titan section that works on the nbh to extract all the individual files.

okay thanks guys... really didn't know anything because I'm new to all this. It was a great learning experience though!

[wandrerx]

Mine is way bulkier (mostly due to CD RD and MD for organizing)... live and learn

so, you know it well enough to do it by hand now, isnt that what counts

[wandrerx]

with that now, I know I'm doing it right... I will upload the finished results later as the organization was made to make it easy for beginners (like me!). Thanks for the encouragement dcd!

there is already all the tools you need to build custom roms on the 6800 under my folder on the ftp

I can't get BuildOS to work it crashes everytime i try to open it ...... any suggestions or help would be great.
