As some of you may know the latest update to CFC enabled UltraHQ mode - PNG quality inside QTC files.

I've also been working with creating CFCv2, which essentially would put all Manila files into a single zip file, saving speed, disk access, and a hell of a lot of 'randomly' named files in your \Windows.

I've spent some more time working on this. I've tried a lot of methods to hook the relevant Windows Mobile functions needed to make this work - in Kernel, in Manila, and in injected DLLs. I thought I was finally getting somewhere - but unfortunately bust. Again there are two functions I seem to be unable to patch.

Back to the drawing board - though I'm starting to doubt if this hack will ever see the light at all.

Surely using non-hashed file names will remove the random _manila files in \Windows? It won't deal with disk access, but it would probably speed up the file load times as manila wouldn't have to calculate the hash for each file...

The hash algorithm is really simple. Typing this message probably took as long as calculating the hash for every single file in every single Manila installation around the globe :)

It would declutter \Windows, though, right about that. Takes a little bit of different hacking to accomplish. Who knows?

Oh right.

Reducing clutter in \Windows would be nice, since TF3D seems to double the number of files in \Windows!
