## User manual
|
|
Unpack GCM/iso file **source_gcm.iso** in the default new folder _game_code-DVD_number_. If optional_dest_folder is specified we unpack in _optional_dest_folder_.
|
|
```
|
|
gcmtool.py --unpack source_gcm.iso optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pack **source_folder** in the default new GCM/iso file _source_folder.iso_. If optional_dest_file.iso is specified we pack in _optional_dest_file.iso_. If one of the files or system files contains length change we have to use --rebuild-fst command before packing. If the dol is duplicated in the FST use --disable-ignore to allow shared dol space.
|
|
```
|
|
gcmtool.py --pack source_folder optional_dest_file.iso
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
gcmtool.py --rebuild-fst source_folder
|
|
```

Print stats about the GCM/iso file or the unpacked GCM/iso folder. This stats contains informations about full memory mapping sorted by offset (files and system files), get empty spaces informations using optional align -a (default=4).

gcmtool.py --stats path -a 4
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
gcmtool.py -ur source_gcm.iso optional_dest_folder
|
|
```
|
|

The original GCM/iso and repack GCM/iso are different most of the time. This is because GCM DVD contains "empty spaces" with data unused (old datas or random datas I don't know). So this datas are useless and loss during unpack.
|
|
|
|
The sorting of files during FST rebuild is deferent from the original and this is full compatible with the GameCube dol API.
|
|
|
|
## Extracted file tree
