This is a database based program, where you can view various hacks, and download them at will.
You can switch between Custom Stages, Music Hacks, Texture Hacks and Sound Hacks.
I like to keep people updated on the progress of things, so check back for any new information and screenshots.
You can sort them by alphabetical order, modify the SDF files (Databases), or use the preset order.
Remember, THE DATA TABLES ARE NOT FINISHED.

If you plan to edit the databases, please add the creator, hack name, and the DIRECT download link.

This looks nice :P would you be able to make the tables searchable by back name? Also, maybe checkboxes that show only a certain characters hacks.
Just a few suggestions. Can't wait to see this. Good luck :P
I'm just starting off small, and probably, you'll be able to search

Thanks, I've been wanting to create this for a while, but I didn't know how to... Now I do. Being coded in C#.

Here's a screenshot of this.

EDIT 2:
The tables automatically fill themselves.
I've removed the button for Table update.
And the controls are bigger.

Does the program save the files to the location where they should be? Let's say you donwload a mario hack, and want it over red mario, would it save it as FitMario01.pcs on the mario folder?
That would be nice, but I guess the amount of zipfiles on the vault would make this dificult. If they were all pcs you could implement that rather easily.

This would actually be a bit more complicated then it seems, though it can be done. i'm sure if he can, he will add it in a future update. :P
I know how complicated it'd be, I am a programmer as well :P That's why I know the different way people upload stuff would complicate stuff more than needed. If everyone uploaded in an standard form, it'd be easy to implement this. But since that's not the case, it becomes more difficult.
The databases are stored as .sdf files. All you need is a copy of Visual C# to edit them. People will be able to make their own ordering, and help out to add all the hacks.
EDIT2: All I need to do is add support for parsing all the other SDF Databases.

Have a download.

Don't delete the .sdf files.
those contain the databases.
Doesn't start on my comp, no idea why. it instantly crashes. just thought you should know :P
Updated. Rebuilt the source
Looks like a nice idea. Maybe you could add a column for wifi-safety in stages and texture hacks, in case people want hacks that don't change the gameplay at all. And maybe another column for preview links? Like another url that takes to a video or picture instead of the download itself or something.

What error do you get?
Or what type of comp do you have?
Windows 7 Home Premium. 64 bit comp.
.net framework 4.5
it crashes just saying it has stopped working, before the program even starts.
tells me some logs that may be useful here :

Not sure if this runs on 64bit...
I'm using Windows Vista, 32bit
ahh i see :P that may be it. though in that xml file i posted, it did say filenotfound exception...not sure if that would be it

I think i've fixed it
modified the config file
hmm...nothings changed. it may be because of me being 64bit
awww....

awww....
since you have the source up i'll look and see if i can't get it to work :P
I got the same problem sammi-huskyEX got...
Using same thing.
The problem is that your targeting the 4.0 .net framework unfortunately. you would have to rebuild and target 4.5 for it to work for anyone who has 4.5 :/

Ok, I'll do that after I get home from school.
it may not actually be the problem, now that i think about it. there is support for backwards compatability in the .net framework. unless some things specific in the code was changed in the newer .net framework :/
Very nice!
Imagine if there was a HBC app like this. :o

Yeah, since it's compiled for the 4.0 Framework, it should be compatible with 4.5 Framework :/
