HiToText (Version 2010.11.4).

It would be pretty easy to port this to C++ infact using pointers and structs would probably make it easier to code. But still there is alot of work there to translate! It would be nice to not have to rely on the .NET runtimes but for projects like GameEx and CPWizard we use it anyway but some other FE's would probably prefer to have a native binary version.
For Linux it should be okay to port across to Mono, although we have not tried. If you can get it compiling let us know. I don't think were using any sort of p/invoking or Windows specific code so it shouldn't be a problem.

That is what I can do. Is is a way in the future to make a such a parser version, so new games can been added without adding updating the main app every time? That is was fyrecrypts was thinking with dll files. C# Is a portable langauge like Java is, so it should been not a problem. So of course I would use the binary version, and hope it works. I report when I have tested in few days soon.

We talked about doing this earlier in the thread actually ;)

It a bit confuction how to get it to work because there is no real documentation and hitotext.exe is actuelly missing to the compiled file.
I need to ask some thing:
1. Is hitotext.exe need hitotext and app.config in the same dir, but for some reason it not in the compiled file (which it should), but is comply versions of it on the other download in first post? I see only the newest is really needed for best support.
2. do the app.config file which is a wrong name for the config (should been hi2txt.config), but that is needed by hitotext.exe as well?
3. How to checkout the supported games without using a manual list? I would like it have some short of -listgames command to get the list so no manual edit is needed. Only romnames is needed. (there is a command for that)
4. How to use the updater.exe, should that been invoked on some points?

HiToText is a stand-alone application.
I think you've downloaded HiScanner, which has no real practical purpose yet if you do not have your own webspace to host this. It's included because it was my primary project for a while. I have left it up there, but it has not been updated online for months. If you would like to use this application you need a webserver with a MySQL database. There is some php code I've included (I think... been a while) that will access the database. I am not really supporting this application as it's not very user friendly right now. The code is free and you're welcome to mess with it as you see fit to help, when I get closer to creating my own cab I will resume work on this application. The app.config file is required for HiScanner to work correctly, and does need to be in the same database.
Updater.exe is only used for HiScanner, and also requires the app.config file in the same directory. Source for this is not open, only because it's a very simple application.
The HiToText.exe is included in the base directory of the HiToText_20090106.zip file at the top of this post, it is also included in the bin/Release directory. No additional files are needed (not even app.config), HiToText is self-contained.
Hope that helps, headkaze and I have gotten HiToText to be pretty user (and FE) friendly, however the same is definitely not true for HiScanner. =D
