WHDLoad Download Tool v1.3

This version adds CRC32 checking and support for the new Beta - Demos folder in retrogame's folder on the Turran server. As there is a lot of new stuff in the background, please treat this as a beta and post any bugs below.

You will find that this new release is slightly slower as it needs to scan each file as it is downloaded. It also has to scan the folders with your archives in them and add extra data to the database. I've tried to minimize the amount of times this is done and by default it is only done when the dat files are loaded or you refresh the database (F5). Pretty much everything else is unchanged.

Fixes / Updates

  • Added CRC32 checking to the update procedure.
  • Added support for the new Beta Demo folder on the FTP. All beta files are still saved to the selected beta folder.
  • Users are now prompted to download the dat files when a prefs file is loaded and no data has been downloaded.
  • All download files are size checked against the dat files and removed it they are wrong.
  • HTTP download errors are logged in a file called error_log.txt.
  • You can now toggle the file tree in the download preview.
  • Downloads are a tiny bit slower as the files are size and crc checked once received.
  • You can now save the download list as a text file.
  • Fixed status bar spacing.
  • Changing prefs files will prompt for clearing the database and will rescan the WHDLoad folders.
  • Save Prefs button is now active all the time.
  • The file list now shows any errors in your files by highlighting them with red for missing and blue for bad CRC32.
  • Moved all donate links to a new window.
