$systemupdate Remover
« on: April 13, 2010, 07:07:00 AM »

Got bored so i decided to make something. This will remove the '$SystemUpdate' Folder within a game folder, or do a batch and search multiple folders and remove the '$SystemUpdate' folder in each.

example: "C:\games" will search each game in the games folder and remove '$SystemUpdate'
               or
              "C:\games\Modern Warfare 2" will only search the "Modern Warfare 2" folder

I have included all files required to run, if it doesnt run, try installing .Net 3.5

If I didn't already delete the folder myself each time, this would be pretty handy. Sure would beat clicking around trying to delete it from each game. Simple but saves a lot of minor hassle. Nice work.

Thanks for this useful utility! Any chance of one that works directly on .ISO images?

Thanks for the app! Will this work for ISOs too? Or only actual directories? If it can't, maybe an update idea?

If I remember correctly some games (Mass Effect 2) need the $SystemUpdate folder for the game to run. With Mass Effect 2 you just needed to replace the update folder with one from an older game. Maybe your SystemUpdate remover can do something similar for compatibility?

Slightly of topic question here. when you convert a game to god using iso2god does it remove the system update folder?

As I appreciate the contribution to the community and the time spent to create.. I can't see how this is any easier than simply clicking on the $systemupdate and selecting DELETE!!

I mean really.. after I extract an ISO I always delete that folder manually.. and probably easier than having to click a button, select the folder and then click another button to delete..

I don't get the usefulness of this tool.  If I'm missing something I apologize.


Now if this could delete from an ISO, or run as a xex from the xbox itself and scan the  HDD and USB then that would be helpful.
