jdupes VS cdecrypt

I recommend the use of jdupes, a fork of the well-known fdupes, to find duplicate files.

200 lines of Nim [1] seems to run about 9X faster than the 8000 lines of C in fdupes on a little test dir I have. If you need C, I think jdupes [2] is faster as @TacticalCoder points out a couple of times here. In my testing, `dups` is usually faster than `jdupes`, though.

There's always the well-respected tool, Czkawka. Or, of the CLI is your thing, jdupes is a good option.

My research into this many years ago turned out that jdupes was the right / best solution I could find for my usecase.

Though that works fine from a script perspective I'd like some more interactive way of sorting directories etc. Identifying is just the first step, jdupes helps with linking the files (both soft and hard links comes with caveats though!) but that is mostly to save space, not to help in reorganisation.

I can work it out by looking at https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes.

I have looked at a few alternatives and think jdupes is the one for me. Then I found out it was not multi-threaded so will give it a go but the developer of jdupes recomended fclones (https://github.com/jbruchon/jdupes/issues/186) if you were dealing with large file systems and wanted multi-threading. But as I am using a HD it may not be necessary.

jdupes is a fork of the old standby fdupes, but it has a Win32 release as well as supporting POSIX.

jdupes is a tuned fork of the well-known fdupes, and has Win32 releases.

Among other tools I tried Cdecrypt v2.0b and CDecrypt v4.8.

np man, go to https://github.com/VitaSmith/cdecrypt/releases/latest and get the zip file, extract, run the app in the folder that has the folder that your encrypt games are in (idk how it works but it does),

cdecrypt on Github

You need to unpack them dude. Run the folder through this https://github.com/VitaSmith/cdecrypt and it will spit out a new folder with 3 folders, code, content, and meta, inside meta will be your meta.xml file.

Either re-download the games as WUA or convert what you have with CDecrypt

After hours of headaches, I finally built cdecrypt for my mac. Whenever I run any of the execs it says: Last login: Wed Mar 29 20:41:54 on ttys001 /Users/myname/Downloads/cdecrypt-master/build/cdecrypt.build/Release/cdecrypt.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/Binary/cdecrypt ; exit; myname@myname-Air ~ % /Users/myname/Downloads/cdecrypt-master/build/cdecrypt.build/Release/cdecrypt.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/Binary/cdecrypt ; exit; cdecrypt [DEV VERSION] - Wii U NUS content file decrypter Copyright (c) 2020-2023 VitaSmith, Copyright (c) 2013-2015 crediar Visit https://github.com/VitaSmith/cdecrypt for official source and downloads.

cdecrypt is the easiest decryption tool I know of, I don't think you even need to provide it a decryption key

Next, games should be deciphered from their native format. I found only one way to do this on Mac is cdecrypt. You need to fetch repository and then make cdecrypt. It will build cdecrypt binary on your machine. Next you just cdecrypt / /
