Easy SFV Creator Checksum File

Related .SFV software |
SFV (Simple File Verification) files are often found as part of a large file download (such as an ISO or BIN disc image). These files are used to clarify that the downloaded data is complete, and is the same as it was when the archive was created. This process is used to ensure the file has not become corrupt during the upload/download.
The .SFV file contains a complete list of all expected file names in the archive and each file is assigned a special value called a "CRC Checksum" which is simply a count of the number of "bits" in each file.
If a file's "CRC Checksum" does not match the value in the .SFV list, the file and thus the entire archive is presumed corrupt.
The majority of archives available on the Internet are in .zip or .rar format. Both of these archives can be opened with the excellent WinRAR.
WinRAR is also able to create archives. Use "Easy SFV Creator" if you need to create a single .SFV file.
