Amiga Bootblock Reader
3 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, my brother and I have just made a new program that we find useful and we hope you find it useful to
- Its a program that can read, write, save from disk and install to disk bootblocks. - It has a brainfile that recognises bootblocks and has the ability to add more - Any suggestions and feedback would be appreciated and if you feel so inclined add your own bootblocks to the program and send me the brainfile so it can grow :) Made in VB 2008 / .NET so it requires .NET 2.0 bb.brainfile included may be used by anyone for any purpose as long as you credit us. (We put a lot of work into it :)) 1.40 987 Bootblocks now recognised - Added ZIP support through ICSharpZip library - Batch scanning files now has colour coding depending on what bootblock is found on the disk (can be turned off) - Brainfile colour coded by category - Added 'Test run bootblock' to allow you to see bootblocks without the risk of infecting / booting the actual disk - Added 'Boot disk with WinUAE' to boot the disk loaded into ABR with WinUAE - Added bootblock picture preview (489 Bootblock pictures included in the seperate ABR Bootblock Pictures zip) - Added Logo, Boot Intro and Boot Menu classifications = Link no longer valid = |
Just had a quick look, seems to work fine but there should be an option to display the bootblock in hex. :)

Hi jasonver2.0,
looks nice and simple ;) Will try it with your bootblock pack :agree Btw : You only need to provide the executable of your application. The other files aren't needed for the program to run. |
@Stringray - Will work on it :)
@TCD - Thanks :) and you definately need the *.bbk files and the bb.brainfile |

There was one available back in the 90's for the Amiga, I would like the program again but for the life of me I cant remember what it was called :crying |

cool tool. i remember those "brainfiles" from marauder (copy tool) :)
the brainfile itself only saves those pattern, for recognizing the bootblocks? would be usefull, if there were a second file, for storing a bootblock collection :) |

DiskMonTools was a great tool for playing around with low-level stuff. Is that the one you mean?

Thank you Jason for this win32 bootblock viewer, manipulator.
Anyone one know of a converter for .Net app to another code c++ or any code than .Net. A simple gui to click insert file that pops converted app that needs no .Net to run. Just cannot use the .Net it seems cripples my pcs, with needs for standby resume passwords and the like. |

For standby try - Start the Power Options Control Panel applet / Select the Advanced tab / Uncheck the Prompt for password when computer goes off standby check box / Click OK. |
Nice little tool you have here, as a small contribution I've uploaded some bootblocks to The Zone for you to add, some you have already others you don't. There is a small problem with the interface becoming unresponsive when an unknown bootblock is loaded, a progress indicator would look better I think.
