BadBuilder v2.0 Release + Info from the developer
Hey everyone! It's my first time posting here, but I'm the developer of BadBuilder. Version 2 has been released and its been rewritten from the ground up with a focus on stability and better UX.
I never expected it to get so popular when I first made it, as I threw it together as a weekend project and showed it to a few friends. I posted on Twitter about it and from there it blew up, got attention from YouTubers, small tech news outlets, and lots of others wanting to try out BadUpdate. The original version(s) weren't particularly robust and had very flaky code in the formatter, leading to a very unreliable experience for a lot of you. I apologize for all of the frustration. Personally, I didn't really see the value in the tool as it's not that hard to just copy and paste files yourself, especially now that xex patching is no longer required, but I guess people really do like convenience. I made it for fun above all else, but I'm glad it has reached an audience. I know a lot of you in this subreddit actually recommend against these automation tools, rightfully so, but I hope some of you will find value in this new update.
So, with that, I'd like to announce the release of BadBuilder 2.0. It's been updated with many new features, is much more stable, and is more robust and extensible. It's much easier now for me to add new features or disk enumeration/formatting support for other operating systems.
