@Eggmansworld Eggmansworld released this 05 Jul 18:18

The first public release of SabreTools Studio — a portable graphical front-end for the SabreTools DAT manager, for Windows and Linux.

Features

  • DAT From Dir — create DATs from ROM folders, with every hash type and full DAT header control
  • Sort / Rebuild — rebuild collections to folders, TorrentZip, Zstandard Zip, TorrentGZ (Romba depots), or TAR
  • Verify — check folders against DATs and produce fixdats of anything missing
  • Update DATs — convert, merge, diff, dedupe, 1G1R-filter, and rewrite DAT files
  • Split DATs — split by extension, hash, size, total game size, or item type
  • Statistics — reports in text, CSV, HTML, SSV, or TSV
  • Batch — run SabreTools batch scripts, with a visual script builder

Every option has a documentation tooltip, invalid flag combinations are prevented, each page supports named presets, and the command bar always shows the exact CLI command being run — so you learn the command line as you go.

Zstandard support: the bundled SabreTools build reads zstd-compressed zips (as produced by RomVault ZSTD mode / 7-Zip-Zstandard) and can write them or recompress to TorrentZip. Note zstd output is not byte-identical to RomVault's own RVZSTD archives.

Fully portable: settings and presets live in a single SabreToolsStudio.config next to the exe. No registry, no user-profile folders. Outputs default to the application folder.

Installation

Windows (x64): download the zip, extract anywhere, run SabreToolsStudio.exe. No .NET installation required.

Linux (x64): download the tar.gz, extract, then:

chmod +x SabreToolsStudio/SabreToolsStudio SabreToolsStudio/sabretools/SabreTools
./SabreToolsStudio/SabreToolsStudio

Requires an X11 or Wayland desktop session. No .NET installation required.

Notes

  • Studio is an unofficial companion to SabreTools and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SabreTools project. Full feature documentation lives on the SabreTools Wiki.
  • Not every SabreTools CLI switch is exposed in the GUI; the bundled CLI in the sabretools folder can be used directly for anything the interface doesn't cover.
  • The bundled CLI is built from the zstd-support branch of the Eggmansworld/SabreTools fork.
