WAD Manager - LAN Edition v0.3

It is not released yet because there are still some things to be implemented (directory navigation and some error checks). Subscribe to this blog so you will be notified when it is released!

This new version has a great performance improvement. Now it is only 10% slower than a local SD installation!

TO-DO:

* directory navigation

* remember last directory

* search server IP automatically (is it possible?)

v0.3:

* performance improvement

* config file created (server ip)

v0.1:

* initial version (not released)

* install/uninstall WADs from a single directory

Performance Analysis

I measured the average installation time for the following apps, always using the same WAD files.

WAD Manager v1.5

* Total Time: 37s

* Test Case: WAD file is already in SD card and it is installed from there

LAN Edition v0.1

* Total Time: 2min 40s

* Test Case: WAD file is downloaded to the SD card and then it is installed from there

LAN Edition v0.2

* Total Time: 3min 43s

* Test Case: WAD file is not downloaded and it is installed directly from the network (1KB chunks - wad manager default)

LAN Edition v0.3

* Total Time: 41s

* Test Case: WAD file is not downloaded and it is installed directly from the network (4MB chunks - new work)

LAN EDITION IS ONLY 10% SLOWER IN AVERAGE
