The "guts" will be the hard part ;)

Good luck tiermann, it sounds like a cool project. Are you coding it in VB or C#?

One thing that would be a nice addition would be a "Common Program Registration" portion where it would be possible to add in the reg code for common programs included in the ROM (like Resco and the Spb apps). Shouldn't be hard to add that part (as long as you know the registry locations).

I'm up to 11 categories now, and the navigation panel has a checklist for each category so you can "skip" adding unwanted keys to the resulting RGU.

Dope:
I'm using VB and I can add that section, no prob :)
Also, when all the mess is done, I'll have it open the RGU in notepad to be looked over or edited. Another thing I'll be adding is the ability to add more files to your OEM. You just browse with a file dialog and add it to the list and those files will be copied to the new OEM as well. I could even set drag/drop when that panel is open too for quick import.

Things it will do:
- Create a new zzzzzOptional_Personal folder in your kitchen/OEM folder.
- Generate a guid starting with fffffff.
- Create the RGU file with all the settings specified and comments for each.
- Create a blank DSM file.
- Move all files to the new OEM directory.
- Run buildDSM

If anyone wants to check out the current layout, the program is on the ftp. It still doesn't "do" anything, but it's navigateable.

Cool, looks good Tiermann! This will save a lot of headaches. I think I had to rebuild and re-flash the 1.04 ROM like three times because I either forgot a ; or had a space where I shouldn't have had. #-o

Like the looks of it. I never did find the reg key to turn beams off, so this would have been helpful when I built mine.

Once again, this is a great idea... as a matter of fact I may wait 'till this is done before I build my next ROM in the kitchen (depending on how long that wait is of course :wink: )

Ok.. After some battles with hex, I'm back on track.
I got my functions all worked out for writing keys and entries in regedit
format and started to actually get some of these buttons and doodads doing something useful.
Couple more days and I should have something useful for you all, but for now here's a look at the start of a beautiful RGU file..

Sorry that I don't have any kind of beta yet, but most things in this program are all tied together right now so I can't just release it with (insert feature here) enabled. Your wait shouldn't be more than 2 days for a release.
