⚠️ WARNING!

This project is still in beta and may have some issues. If you experience an issue, please report it and wait until we fix it.

⚠️ ANOTHER WARNING

Since this can use so much of your disk and CPU, it is reccomended to have a mid to high-end setup to use this tool. It is reccomended to have at least a Quad (4) core CPU and a SSD (Solid-State Drive) Using this on a HDD may cause this tool to be very slow. It is not reccomended to use a HDD but if you need too, you can but it may be slow. The optimal specs would be: >6 core CPU, and an Internal M.2 SSD @ 1GB/s+ Read/Write.

QuickMD5

A fast, free, small, and open-source MD5 hash checker similar to QuickSFV but console-based.

How is it so fast

QuickMD5 is very fast in speed because it uses multi-threading. By running multiple threads, it can read and process multiple files at the same time. This greatly reduces the time needed to check the files.

How to use

To use QuickMD5, you need to have a .MD5 file ready to use in a specific format. Failing to format it proerly may result in errors..

Arguments:

QuickMD5.exe PATH_TO_MD5_FILE

This is the proper .MD5 format. QuickMD5 will only read files made this way:

MD5_HASH *FILEPATH

for example:

e91c0d2c0c3c0eb39d130443830e1fbd *..\..\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe

Since you can use arguments and do it through a command line, you can set up .bat files to automatically run QuickMD5 and validate files. For example:

start path/to/QuickMD5.exe path/to/md5_file.md5

Commenting

To add comments to a .MD5 file, do it this way:

; Comment goes here

I am going to add multi-line commenting in the next update.

Other Information

I have plans on porting this over to python. And no, I do not plan on porting this over to linux. I will do that later once some major updates are out because it is kinda buggy as-is.

Building

You need Visual Studio 2019 and to build, you can either load the solution or do dotnet build in the folder with the solution.
