IVistation Updater is a nxdk based, C written, simple update installer for the OG Xbox project IVistation.
It unpacks the adjacent update.tar file to the current directory, replacing everything in the process.
If it fails, the updater can replace the IVistation binary with a LithiumX
binary for further recovery.
Updates are an important part of any project. IVistation uses an external update installer instead of installing in XBMC, this is to avoid file locks. Therefore, updates can replace any file without issue. (And extracting files in C is way faster than in Python, although that may need some tuning).
This approach can potentially offer recovery if an update fails (by replacing with LithiumX), or is interrupted (by running the updater again).
IVistation Updater aims to be a single .xbe file with no external file dependencies. Any changes fitting of this
approach are welcome.
