Software – AniFetch v1.3.0.0 released (30/11/2011)


Get the new version here.

After a long wait, it is here. This version was very complex to do, and I hope I did everything properly. I’ve tried a fix on x64 systems, so let me know if you still encounter problems.
Please read the changelog, as well as the help file (AniFetch.chm) to understand the changes (especially operators).


I’ll release a minor update in a few days, regarding the program and the registry. Right now the “Launch AniFetch on startup” option writes an entry in your windows registry, but if you uninstall the program, the key won’t be deleted (yet). Gotta fix this.
Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback/reported bugs. Hope you’ll enjoy this new version.

Changelog :
Thanks to Anon, Knoobie and rhizzu for their ideas regarding this version, and everyone else for their feedback/bug reporting.

Software – AniFetch v1.2.0.0 released (07/08/2011)


Get the new version here.

Finally, it is done (;゚A゚). Let’s pray that I didn’t break anything.
The installer and the .exe files are no longer compressed. While this makes the files a bit bigger, it should prevent some false positive detections from several anti-virus softwares.


I recommend that you clean your history (using the new button) once you’re done downloading/updating AniFetch. Feel free to give me feedback on the new Help file as well.

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on the previous release. This version brings a lot of new features that I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

Changelog :
Thanks to Anon and rhizzu for their ideas regarding this version.
[Released] Version 1.2.0.0
[Updated] Some extra code for URLs which could, sometimes, not be processed properly because of some special characters.
[Added] Helpfile “AniFetch.chm” to help users in using AniFetch.
[Added] New “warn” icon in the tray area. This icon will appear if there is a new notification (only if “Show Notification Window” is unchecked, or if it is checked with the “Only when not in fullscreen” option set.
[Added] Option to hide the notification window, or to only display it when not in full screen (main window).
[Added] Buttons “Fetch Now”, “Minimize to tray” and “Open help file” (main window).
[Added] Buttons “Clear selection” and “Clear all” to clear one or all entries from the history (history window).
[Added] Tag “[:NEW:]” will be added for each new “unread” entry in the history (history window). This will only happen if the option “Show Notification Window” is unchecked, or if it is checked with the “Only when not in fullscreen” option set.
[Removed] UPX compression for AniFetch.exe and Updater.exe, resulting in bigger files, but less false positive detections from anti-viruses softwares.

Japanese Games – Vanguard Princess


You were not expecting this, right? Well, neither do I :/
It’s been ages since the last “Japanese Flash Games” post, and I thought I’d be more interesting to post about Japanese games in general so I renamed the category (as said in today’s Picture of the day post).

Small quote from wikipedia :

Vanguard Princess is a Japanese freeware dōjin 2D fighting game for Windows, developed by a single programmer and illustrator called Tomoaki Sugeno, nicknamed Suge9 and a supposedly ex-Capcom employee. The game was released on June 26, 2009 and was created using Fighter Maker 2nd. The latest version of the game is 1.07c, released on June 20, 2010.

For a free game, it’s pretty amazing. Graphics are gorgeous, and you don’t need a rock’n lol PC to make it run. The only drawback in my opinion is that characters do not have a lot of different moves. That may change in later versions, though.
Note that You may need Microsoft AppLocale to make it run on your machine.
You also need to rename/fix the file path so that it does not contain any asian characters (ex: C:\Vanguard Princess\vanpri107c\vp). You also need to rename the .exe and .kgt files for the same reason as well. You can give them any name you want, as long as they both have the exact same name (ex: vp.exe, vp.kgt).

Found the game quite fun and relaxing, and I hope some of you will think the same ;)

Software – NG Hash Calculator

NG Hash Calculator is a software which calculates the MD5/SHA1/CRC32 hash values of a file, using a drag and drop system.

What I had in mind when coding this software was “simplicity” and “fastness”.

Usually, you need to open an explorer window and manually look for the folder containing the file for which you want the hash values to be calculated.

It takes time, and it’s a pain to reach the right folder when you’ve got a lot of files/folders on your computer.
The drag & drop system skips this annoying step. All you have to do is drop the file on the program’s window and that’s it.

Okay, after much delay, it’s here.
AniFetch is a free software which notifies you when someone releases something that you’re specifically interested in, on most anime torrent sites. But in fact, you can use the program for a much wider variety of websites.
