I also probably should have made the update system a lot nicer, and shouldn’t have done that bullshit with the ads/latest news stuff. I sort of started to do that with the Drive class in Up’s FATX library, but I plan on sorting that out before the project is done with (how about this weekend?). Looking through the source, I realize how much I didn’t understand when I started off, and how much better I could have made both projects in terms of performance and source structure/readability. I would have designed them both a lot differently. Some reflections on Party Buffalo, and CLKsFATXLib: So, I’ve started to start development on Up again, and hope to have it done this winter.
They made the excellent point that it’s useless on non-Windows platforms without a device explorer. I was debating finishing Up, but then two friends of mine showed me the awesome work they’ve done on their cross-platform STFS package manager (also does a lot more than just that!) called Velocity. I’m starting to get in to web development (Ruby on Rails to be precise), and this project has lost my interest. I said this before, but this is almost 100% guaranteed to be the last update for Party Buffalo, unless I really screw up this update. So, for some disks, the size of the file allocation table would be off by +- (around)0×3000, give or take, which would then make the data region of the Data partition off by that amount as well, therefore giving the user bad (just random) filenames and other weird stuff happening. Here was the problem, which also applied to Party Buffalo: I was using the raw disk size, and not the actual size that the Xbox uses from the security sector. I thought that it was odd, since the FATX libs should be 100% solid as far as reading and disk size calculations and all that crazy stuff goes. A friend of mine was trying to use my cross-platform FATX explorer, and it didn’t work for him. It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog, and since I’ve updated Party Buffalo. Sadly, it looks like this will be the last update for this neat app, unless something goes wrong with this version. The just released v2.0.1.0 fixes a bug related to disk size calculations. Party Buffalo by 'CLK' is an XBOX 360 HDD/USB device explorer.
