A small app from @Berion & I to calculate the checksum for a APA partition header. If user is not happy with partition name, type etc. he can just change it and thanks to this app, correcting checksum to not break partition chain list.
A special thanks to uyjulian for PFS Shell fork and Darkshadow_ for exaplain to us the algo

Thank You for this awesome little app which will help me in my APA journey. Thanks to this I'll be able to make relative easy PSBBN partitions transplantation and injection Linux to APA fs space.

However, this application can be useful also for other hex editor dwellers which needs quick edit something in the header and checked on PS2.

Main reason for creating this application is issue that if checksum is incorrect, then partition is not listed by PS2 and threat as empty space. Consider it as kind of validator.

Also I wanted to thanks @Darkshadow_ which explain me with patience the PFS Shell checksum code.

Thanks for the help bud. It wasn't too bad to make once I started using the right file for testing it lmao

I forgot to say in the OP that it's open source and the code is on my GitHub if anyone has any use for it.
