Ever been in the situation where you've got a CTF and a single file in it that needs changing, only to have to go through the annoying process of decompiling then recompiling the entire CTF? Well never fear, for CTF Archiver is here! Now you can instantly "open" a CTF and edit its contents right from inside the CTF itself!

"But Xander, I'm still going to have to open the program every time and select the CTF that I want to edit."

Oh ho! Is that so? I don't believe it is. CTF Archiver integrates itself with Windows to let you simply double click on a CTF to open it. Not only that, but it integrates multiple XMB tools into Windows. Right click on a PRX quickly scramble/descramble it. Double click on an RCO to open it.

"So what does this CTF Archiver look like?"

I'm glad you asked. Take a look:

Now, a few things before you download it. CTF Archiver is the result of ThemeXtra, which is sadly still in the works. This program's original title was "DTA Archiver", reflecting the ThemeXtra file format. The long road I've been down with Davee and Bubbletune, following ThemeXtra's progress, doesn't appear to have an end. So I decided that I should just release this with support for CTFs instead of DTAs. As a result, you'll see the word "DTA" a lot. Just pretend it says CTF or simply isn't there at all. Maybe one day you'll get to see the true wonders of TX and the DTA format. But for now, enjoy this release.

Download:
- EXE Installer
- ZIP with binaries

Note: The installer is bundled with the required 4.01, 5.00, and 5.50 PRXs. You'll need to get the PRXs yourself with the binary download. And no, the "Password" tab does nothing. It was designed for the DTA format, which supports passwords.

Please report any bugs or suggestions you may have for future versions.

This is sick. I might get into the Theme scene if I can learn how to use this, lol.

This is amazing

Completely and utterly

Does it have drag and drop support (ie, can i drag an RCO onto the icon of a CTF and have it overwrite?)

Now if only I knew what the fudge I was doing.

XanderChaos · 26/09/2009 04:36 PM

I could add support for that, but at the moment the best you can do is open the CTF then drag & drop the file into CTF Archiver.

I am curious as to what this ThemeXtra is all about.

roberth · 26/09/2009 04:47 PM

Bah....useless

I kid, i kid, it was more a question than anything. This is a very acomplished app as it is, congratulations on it
