    R4 manager is a program that helps people interact with their R4 cards.

    I wanted to make this up for my friend but also decided to translate it into English, for you guys.

    System requirements:
    .NET framework 4 (ugh, I will try to make beta 2 without that)

    [​IMG] R4 Manager 1.0 Beta 1 | RAR file | Mediafire

    Currently beta 1 features firmware updates (latest original firmware, YSMenu and Wood R4). I will include more features.

    Also I will be making more of these programs for other cards.

    Have fun. Also please recommended me features to add ;)

    Creditz:
    - CoolKill3r for the Wood R4 topic
    - afrokid13 for the YSMenu topic
    - Yasu for YSMenu
    - Yellow Wood Globin for Wood R4
    - R4 team for the original R4 firmware
    - Microsoft for Visual Basic Express
    - Mediafire for letting me upload it

    it's not that hard. you just put the files on the micro SD
    ...no need for a file manager

    what would be handy is this:

    You open the program,
    it automaticly finds the latest R4 Kernel and YSMenu kernel and Wood R4 Kernel
    then you can select one and input where to unpack, select it and it will say 'Sure: Yes/No'
    then it downloads from the internet and automaticly unpacks it and your done!

    if you added a theme maker and save converter, then I would definitely get it.

    I mean without learning new things how the fuck am I gonna code downloading the newest version, unpacking it (if it's a RAR then it's gonna be hard) and copying it (shouldn't be a too big problem but still).

    probably won't be. I want to do it, but probably won't be.

    version checking and downloading new versions is easy, theres at least 5 ways I can think of doing it offhand, unpacking from a rar theres at least two ways of doing it, and copying it theres 5+ ways.

    Mind teaching me the extraction part? I would greatly appreciate that.
    The only thing I've been having trouble with is extracting, you see.

    With downloading I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile, saving all crap to C:\Downloads.
    With copying I use this piece of code:
    Code:
    Imports System.IO
    
    Private Sub WoodUpdate_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim FileToCopy As String
    Dim ToWhere As String
    FileToCopy = "PathHere"
    ToWhere = "AnotherPathHere"
    If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToCopy) = True Then
    System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, ToWhere)
    MsgBox("Firmware upgrade done!", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "R4 Manager")
    End If
    End Sub

    either you call the commandline version of rar (Unrar.exe) and supply it with the program, or you include the rar library and call the extraction function.

    ..why didn't I think of WinRAR's command line version?! You're the best loony!

    thats the worse of the two methods...

    Erhm and it also doesn't seem to work. It says something about that it can't add the reference...or am I doing something completely wrong?
