That doesn't seem to work either. May be something to do with sendspace.com. Again, can it be uploaded elsewhere?

Just downloaded it without any problems (Windows 7 with latest Firefox browser). Are you using still using Windows XP with the Firefox esr browser? Support has ended for XP and Firefox esr, so a lot of sites don't work properly with it.

I'm using Windows 7 X64 and I tried both IE11 and Chrome with same results. Obviously it's my PC! :|

Do you think you could install OBS and record a quick video showing what you're doing?

Thank you for re-uploading that link. I have never used this tool before but it interests me greatly.

Is this essentially just an alternate way of decompressing compressed files from .DATs instead of using the MUER / Custom Uniform Loading method inside Madden 08 PC? That's how I decompressed compressed uniforms from NCAA PS2's Uniform Dat in the past, by placing them the slot of a team in Madden 08 PC's Uniform Dat then using MUER and selecting the team's uniform before going into a game that has the custom compressed NCAA uniform and then going into a game in Madden 08 PC. It would crash Madden but then would allow you to export the uniform uncompressed if you switched back to MUER and extracted it before you closed Madden. I'm not sure if that method only decompressed uniforms, but that's all I ever tried to do.

So if I have it right, this tool just decompresses files without having to go through all that. If so that's great. I was also using QuickBMS to split up an NCAA PS2-decompressed uniform into its parts after using the MUER / Madden 08 PC uniform loading / exporting method.

Now I wonder if through this tool, I can do the opposite, which is take a decompressed NCAA PS2 uniform and then re-compress it. Because the step of re-compressing it is critical to being able to put custom edited uniforms into the NCAA PS2 games and getting it to work because we need to re-compress it after editing it so its file size is small enough to fit into the slot in the NCAA PS2 Uniform dat which needs to be below the size of the original file or else it won't work.
