I actually learned about that shortly after making the script. It's definitely really cool and would solve some of my problem, but unfortunately I depend on ashcompress.exe, which is a Windows-only binary with no known source code (so I can't build it for Linux like I did with ASH.exe) for compressing ASH files. That's a mandatory step in the repacking process, so until I can break free of that, I'm not able to make a fully Linux native version, because WINE is still going to be required somewhere in the process.

I'm actually working on a brand new library to replace libWiiSharp (what Sharpii uses) written in Python that will entirely solve my problems, and with that I'm working on a new graphical app to replace this script. ASH file support is currently in the works over there, which will entirely remove my dependency on Windows-only software. If you want to see how that's progressing, the repository for that is here. Once I can support all the file types I need over there, then I'll have a fully Linux-native version, as well as native Windows and macOS apps.
