Carnage Manager 0.3 is one of the new homebrews that have begun to appear on the scene after the XBOX360 RGH: itself as a small but versatile file manager for the console with this change.

It may seem a bit thin and unattractive at first sight, but behind this ugly duckling there’ some features to envy for the all-powerful file-manager built into FreeStyle Dash.

The novelty is certainly to be envied porting integrated library UnRAR, directly from the console allowing the decompression of these files as if we did computer.

Here is the changelog of new version 0.3 part of the coder gives HungryBob:

================================================== ==============
Carnage Manager by HungryBob
================================================== ==============

File system manager for Xbox 360 Homebrew console (XEX executable).
On 360 press BACK button for brief controls help.

Features
————
* all standard file/directory operations copy/delete/mkdir
* multitasking – can do something while files copying…
* background tasks cancelable
* unpacking of RAR archives – UnRAR library version 3.9.10 ported to 360.
* classic double panel user interface

Limitations
—————
although i tested it for many bugs, currently i consider it to be beta.
there may be places where operations may go wrong, thus list of what not to do…

* don’t try to copy files over themselves, to same directory or child directory,
may freeze or crash.

* unpack files only to empty directory, if UNRAR encounters same existing file in
target directory, it will freeze forever. this is because unrar will try to ask if
need to skip, cancel, replace, etc. existing file using STDIN functions, which are
stripped from this UNRAR port. use delete operation to wipe files
from target dir first.

* any wide character support from official UNRAR library was stripped down
(meaning no unicode support). you will most likely end up with corrupted
file names when try to unpack such archives. however, since 360′s HDD
and DVD filesystems allows only multibyte characters in file names,
it should be OK to extract DVD backups or other files archivized from
that places.

* usb keyboard not supported (well, only in dashboard popup boxes)

* if eject dvd tray, automatically exits to dashboard
