Floppy disk Amiga Bootblock Reader v2

Hi all, im releasing a new version of my program Amiga Bootblock Reader as i now have very little time to work on it due to getting married etc and my old version is a buggy mess and so..

Changes include:

- 1107 Bootblocks now recognized
- Bootblock installer with 687 bootblocks
(No viruses and most non-standalone bootblocks removed)
- Rewritten directory scanner, now multithreaded
- Bootblock ripper to allow ripping of bootblock code from amiga programs without installing
- Revamped interface with pics drawn by me
- So many changes i have forgotten lol

WIP:
- Brain file manager


Program: ABR2.00.zip (.NET 3.0 Required)

For bootblock pictures download:
https://www.box.com/shared/m2y5vzraj4

ABR Source code (Visual Basic 2005 / 2010) - please suggest changes in this thread to help anyone who wishes to release a new version. Thanks
https://www.box.com/s/mhp7y9j2u1d8cin6d1qs

Please post any changes you wish to make to the brainfile to this thread or attach the 'bb.brainfile' file to a post at the end

I would like very much that if you learn any new bootblocks / make changes to your brainfile please upload to this thread in attachment or PM me ('bb.brainfile' in the A.B.R path). This includes if you used the old version and have learned or made changes to the brainfile. Thanks

Very good work. Some bugs but your program is very usefull.

some suggestions:
Quarterback detection is not very good
Code:
Quarterback Backup DIsk (Possible),1,98,2,48,5,0,1,98,5,0,1,98,5,0,s,,0
Quarterback Backup DIsk (Possible),1,98,6,0,1,98,6,0,1,98,6,0,1,98,s,,0
=>
Code:
Quarterback Backup Disk (Possible),0,81,1,66,5,0,6,0,7,0,10,0,11,0,s,,0
Quarterback Backup Disk (Possible),0,81,1,98,5,0,6,0,7,0,10,0,11,0,s,,0
Bad name:
Mortiville Manor Boot v1.0
=> Mortville Manor Boot v1.0

UAE Bootblock
=> UAE Extended ADF

AmigaDOS Standard - 2.0 FFS International DirCache
=> AmigaDOS Standard - 3.0 FFS International DirCache

Interesting project !

great work

I was just thinking if one could export a bootblock to BinHex, we could save bootblocks as text files.

If MD5 for each Bootblock is known, we know we have a authenticated way to recreate disks.

Can one imagine a whole DMS/ADF converted to XML format ;-)

hi jasonver2.0
your program does not check that the file is not locked by another application before reading / writing
eg:
"Test Run in WinUAE BB" if %temp%/temp.adf is already used by WinUAE

Since my previous post I found many errors in the database but I did not take notes, sorry. Overall, you forget that the virus (80%) mutate after each contamination...

If you like challenges, there is a very rare virus, which has so far never been identified (not sure ). His name is "Nightmare-Loader". good search

1. Ok ill fix that

2. I have scanned virus bootblocks from many different sources and all have come up accurate (as far as i know ) - some bootblocks have been hard to pin down such as Lamers, Tai-Pan and others, I presume these are the kind of bootblocks you speak of. I need many examples of the same bootblock in order to find commonality for detection. If you could tell me which ones do this i will remove them from the brainfile as the detection will be useless

3. Ok lol

Sad news because I use your program regularly. I hope someone will take over. You plan to provide your bootblock collection too?
In any case thank you, you helped me a lot for my own program ^^

New update:
- The detection of the entire family of viruses "Lamer Exterminator" has been reworked (decoded version removed!)
Note: Numbering based on VirusZ III
- Changed the name for many virus clones common
- Remove some unnecessary space characters
- Some unimportant things ^^
- Alphabetical sorting of the database

If these changes cause regressions, thank you for the report here.

bb.brainfile [2013-02-25] removed

that sates the demo aspect, how about the game but I'll say no more here as it's a slight thread deviation.

ABR WIP:

- Code optimizations
- Lots more bootblocks recognised
- Interface tweaks
- Brain file import (for updates etc)

Any suggestions welcome, provided they are within the scope of a bootblock manager lol

Bootblock intros have been done since the beginning of the Amiga scene (HQC made one in 1987 already f.e.). There recently were some bootblock compos were yours truly competed with this.

Bootblock games have also been done long ago already so not a new idea either!

Hmmm this is interesting! Was there ever a bootblock that would run the same as a SOFTWARE Action Replay (as opposed to hardware)?

Not sure I understand you correctly but you mean a full software Action Replay in just 1012 bytes?

There is no new contest needed since bootblock compos allow everything that fits into the bootblock, last bootblock game has been released not too long ago (hi Slummy! ). See here.

@Crashdisk - The bootblock display uses 'Courier New' which is a monospace font. Is it not set correctly somewhere in the program?

In this picture, you can see three problems:
1) Proportional font especially visible at position $00000330 and $00000340
2) Positions incorrect relative to standards. It should begin with $00000000 and ends with $000003F0
3) difference between the hex data and the displayed characters:
$525F5659 should show "R_VY"

I think it is an error on my part actually. I just realised what I meant was something running in the RAM? - just like Relokick does with Kickstart image, but instead have the AR rom in the RAM without needing the hardware connected. I suppose it would mean requiring more RAM but if possible, that is not so much of a big deal?
