~pcwiz Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 NOTE: Utility is currently Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard only I thought that since many people were asking how to verify MD5's, I'd make my own no frills MD5 checking app. I know there are a ton of these out there already, but I thought I'd make my own and keep it very simple and un-technical (if thats even a word) so that newbies can easily use it. It has 2 features, one where you can check the MD5 of a file, and another one where you can choose a file, type in a MD5 to compare with, and do a one click comparison (useful for verifying integrity of OSx86 DVDs). This tool is pretty much a GUI for Mac OS X's build in "md5" command. This is a really simple tool, so I won't even bother to do a beta or anything, I've tested it and it works fine. Hope it comes in handy! PCWizMD5Checker.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweppes Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Good idea, but is almost the same that this one: MD5 2.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaporATX Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 When are you going to write your own OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've been thinking of making my own Linux distro [sarcasm] But I am currently in the process of writing pcwizOS. I actually travelled in time 100 years into the future, stole a copy of OS X Housecat, took it back to 2008 and modded it to work with today's computers. The world's most advanced OS--pcwizOS [/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNet33 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 add this in osx86 tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm kinda putting a feature freeze on OSx86 Tools until the final release, which is when I can take my time with other feature additions. Besides, MD5 doesn't exactly fall under the category of "OSx86", its pretty much a universal utility that can be used on any mac (thats running Leopard). Also, I want OSX86Tools to be strictly OSx86 related and not just another AIO utility like Cocktail or OnyX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
