Checksums Demystified (.st5, .ffp and .md5)

[cmaz]

i have a question regarding the difference between verifying and testing with TLH. If i verify the files, do i also need to test them? If the files verify, won't they neccessarily decode properly? And what about the check box "full ffp vrf"? When, where, and why do i choose each of these options?

When do i verify, test, and/or choose "full ffp"?

Thanks!

since this tutorial was written there have been some new features added to TLH... if you test with the "full" feature enabled (as it is by default) TLH will check the files every way possible and only that one test/verification is necessary.

Is there any chance of updating the initial post in this thread? I'm trying to make a SHNTOOL md5 with xACT, however, the interface looks completely different. The example given is not helpful 6 years later.

I sincerely hope nobody takes this as complaining on my part. I know you all want this to be as helpful as possible.

Thank you.

in xACT 2.x, on the Checksum tab, click "Create Checksum File" and choose the "St5" option

select the files you wanna include in Finder, drag to the window on left in xACT [screen below], then select the options circled in red...click "Checksum" button and let it do its thing
