SBW Classic Status Update
Currently, SBW Classic 2.9.0 is in the works. It will be a major update to the entire program. Many things were recreated, added, and optimized in order to make the program more feature-rich and powerful. You an check the status on the project at the bug tracker: http://bugs.codeisle.com/
I know I said last year that this program would not go passed 2.0, but since it has been used and talked about by many people (many of which are from China) I decided to continue work on it.
I saw the need for a translation of the program to other languages since not everyone speaks English. I know Chinese a bit, so my first translation goal will be for that region. If anyone would like to help me out with this task, contact me when the next version is released (this version is scheduled to support language packs).
Stay tuned for updates!
SBW.NET Progress Update
During development, I decided to make some changes to SBW.NET.
These are the changes:
- Removed support for converter plugins
- Added support for tool plugins
- Change language file specifications from CULF (Code Isle Universal Language File) to a new specification that is more flexible (called XULF).
More information on the program status will be released soon.
Until then, I have also decided to continue work on SMD BIN WIN 2.0b to possibly make a few maintenance releases. However, it most likely will never go past version 2.0.

VB.NET Developers Wanted: AMX Config .NET
From Sourceforge.net Help Wanted:
Hello,
I am looking for VB.NET developers for "AMX Config .NET", an attempt to complete the features of "AMX Configurer".
To learn more about the previously abandoned project, check out this page: http://amxconfig.sourceforge.net/
"AMX Config .NET" is, basically, a code cleanup/transcoding/enhancement of "AMX Configurer" in "VB.NET"
I'm writing it in the latest version of Visual Basic (2008), so if you have this, it is a plus, otherwise code will need to be converted.
Note: you can download Visual Basic 2008 Express for free on Microsoft's Site...
I need several programmers to help me on this project.
To read more about this listing, check out the 'Help Wanted' page: http://sourceforge.net/people/viewjob.php?group_id=227425&job_id=30969

SMD BIN WIN: Redux
After a year of lack of updates to my first popular application, I began work on a completely new SEGA Genesis ROM tool (designed for legal ROMs). It is currently in an Alpha state and has no scheduled release date.
Currently, the features planned are:
- Plugin support
- Designed for Windows Vista
- Written in completely managed code (.NET Framework)
- Increased stability
- Language file support using the new CULF (Codeisle Universal Language File) XML Schema Specifications
- Support for right to left languages (ex. Arabic)
- Unicode Support
- Auto Updates
- Improved help system
- Ability to uncompress files, convert them, and recompress them on the fly.
- Unlimited Conversion Number (convert 10, 000 files in one press of a button if you have the memory for it!)
- New theme designed by Mike (A.K.A VectorMan)
Along with these features, through the introduction of plugin development, new converters for other file formats may be added in the future.
Specification for plugin development will be released eventually, along with documentation for the CULF Schema, which is currently in the test phase.
