ok, it was going through my Source files and everything, how do I know it's not secretly sending them to someone? lol

This occured to me as well, but if it was accessing the internet my firewall would have seen it =P

Also the result of my final scan ended up with 38 files, 16 of which were new to the DB. My final total then is around the 530 images mark. Not bad I guess.

EDIT:

I noticed you apparently have been looking for some of the prototypes from the one large batch release still.

Could you tell me which they are? I still have all of them, but the only thing is that I converted them to .zip rather than .rar files for the most part so as to be compatible with Fusion in compressed form. As such this utility is almost certainly not going to find them, but I can get you those.

Don;t worry about it, I already ran though all of them, from the original .torrent I'm seeding, no less. Only one or two were needed to be added.

Maybe it's because I usually wipe my cache monthly, but I only found one file through the scan... which has now been restored. Go go being useless!

I'd just like to say first that this is a fantastic idea to help restore the wiki to it's former glory

Anyway I will do a full scan of my C drive on the weekend (I'd do it overnight but my computer is in my room and it is very loud).
The sad thing is I am pretty sure I won't find anything because most of my wiki browsing was done on my iphone, it's still worth a try thumbsup.png

Does it search for just the file names, or just content? I may have some things, but I did edit the file name.

EDIT: Well, um, never mind. got matches nonetheless, which are all the level maps of some Game Gear/Master System games.

3 files added:
  • Sonic_2_Homing_Attack.zip -> Sonic_2_Homing_Attack.zip
  • objdef[1] -> Soned2-objdef.zip
  • Imagenesis4000beta.zip
(Actually, Imagenesis4000beta.zip was already recovered, but my renaming script found that it was in the archive table, too.)

Maps.zip

It checks the contents of the files. Specifically, it hashes the files using the SHA1 algorithm and then compares them against a list of known files (retrofix.dat).

Incidentally, all 53 image files in Maps.zip were missing from Retro, and have been readded. smile.png

After scanning my 2 TB worth of HDDs I've found a depressingly small number of images T_T

I do have other images I know were taken from this wiki but I assume the dat file ignored images already found from other members... oh and any idea why it wanted Disgaea artbook images?

Two exact matches:
  • Hzsubboss.png
  • Sonic_Advance_Zone_Cosmic_Angel.png

Four files that didn't match SHA1, but I added anyway:
  • Sonic3&K_Badnik_Catakiller, Jr..PNG
  • Sonic3&K_Badnik_Mega_Chopper.PNG
  • Sonic3&K_Badnik_Ribot.PNG
  • Sonic3&K_Badnik_Turbo Spiker.PNG

I update retrofix.dat after adding a large batch of files to prevent duplicates from being submitted.

The Disgaea artbook images were used for testing by Xkeeper: File:Test.jpg

All of your files matched, but these files were new:
  • Sonic2_md_nfr.jpg
  • Supershadow.jpg
  • Green Hill Zone.png -> Ghz.png [SHA1 overwrite]
  • Erazor Djinn.jpg -> Erazor_Djinn.jpg
  • Biolizard.jpg
  • Super_Silver.PNG

What do you know, I had some extra files on a USB drive. I ran Retrofix on it, using the latest DAT, and there were 6 new ones.

I have released retrofix-0.4. In particular, this version supports Unicode on Windows. On Linux, it uses lstat() instead of stat(), so it won't recursively scan symbolic links.
