- When using a command that moves a file to a different directory e.g. rename or move the GoodTool output stream continuously loops after the last file is processed. Wine must be terminated using the Stop button in GoodGUI. I believe this is an issue associated with Wine or X11. If anyone has any recommendations to stop this issue please email me and I'll update this help file with the preferred settings.

Usage

Only systems with both the "Rom Path" and a found Good*.exe file will show in the Select System Combobox
If you want to put all of your Good*.exe files in the same directory set "Same as Rom Path" to false and set the "Good*.exe Directory"
New GoodTools can be added without a problem, just add them to GoodGUI.ini
Information about the options can be found by hovering over each option. Check Cowering's documents for more
Blue items have multiple uses. Right click for multiple options
