Easy CSM (ECSM) Readme

Use of this:
The use of these program is to decompress ASH files, extract and pack ARCs used in the Wiis system menu without the all the fuss of drag and dropping, using cmd or browsing for files.

Instructions:

Put the app folder in C:\ECSM
MAKE SURE YOUR FOLDER NAME IS: 00000001_app_OUT
Use ECSM.exe to select any ASH file, ARC file or TPL file.
If you have already decompressed an ASH file you won't need to do it again.
The extracted ARCs are in the ARC_OUT folder
The original TPL images are in the TPL folder.
Put your custom images in Images folder and make sure they have the same name as their TPL and that they are BMP format (example: let's say you want to change my_ParentalBtn_a0.tpl then you will need to name you custom image to my_ParentalBtn_a0.bmp and DO NOT FORGET THE EXTENSION) 
Your images don't need to have.tpl at the end but the need .bmp

Notes:
This is the first time I do any autoit so don't go saying it's crap cause I'm only 13
I did not make any command for \html\EU2\iplsetting.ash because it doesn't work with ASH.exe cause it's an ARC renamed to ASH.

Changelog:

To come:
- 1 batch file to run them all (DONE)
- an interface in Autoit letting you choose wich ASH files to decompress (DONE)
- encode ASH files using yaz0enc (possible but not very likely cause it's no use)
- replace a TPL (to come soon)
- extract a .arc (DONE)
- pack a .arc (DONE)

All that just by ticking check boxes so that even n00bs with basic knowledge will be able to make their own csm
