Any DB i put in the DATABASE_ADF folder gets "The version of this DB is not compatible"

ADF DB skipped: Unrenamed - Warez scene (v2021-04-18)[part1] => The version of this DB is not compatible
ADF DB skipped: Unrenamed - Warez scene (v2021-04-18)[part2] => The version of this DB is not compatible

Hi Faerytale,
it is likely that you are using the wrong version of ADF-Workshop.
The latest databases, including those you mention, are only compatible with ADF-Workshop v2021xxxx.
Please check with the "About" function

Crashdisk, I am looking for the old databases of year 2020 for use with the TOSEC homepage version of ADF-Workshop.

You say at the top of this thread that the year 2020 databases can be downloaded from the FTP Server, but the only version there is the 2019 or older (I think).

If you could upload the databases at some other place for me and other people to download it, I would thank you for the help.

Crashdisk · 06 July 2021, 20:37

You are right, I did not update the FTP. So it is corrected

I took the opportunity to add the last updates of the v12 databases on the FTP. They will also be available on the forum in the evening...
EDIT : Well, finally, it's already done ^^

Leandro Jardim · 06 July 2021, 21:04

Thank you!

Are you going to re-upload the beta program too?

The v12 databases are only for that, correct??

RoC · 07 July 2021, 23:34

Thank you for the dat file!

The v12 database only works with the 2021 version of the program.
The data is no longer calculated in the same way, so it cannot be made compatible or converted with the old version of the program.

Viceroy · 08 July 2021, 08:41

Do I keep all old databases or just use new beta with v11 & 12 databases from FTP please?

chip · 08 July 2021, 12:58

Using always the last version of a program is important IMHO

So, this is valid also for ADF-Workshop

Anyway, no idea about the databases to use, sorry

It is simple :

ADF-Workshop v2015 = Database v11 only
ADF-Workshop v2021 = Database v12 only
As the program is portable, you can have and use both versions as long as you put them in different folders.

Other databases will be available soon

Viceroy · 08 July 2021, 20:24

Thank you ;-) That was simple

Crashdisk · 10 August 2021, 17:36

New beta in first post
- Better management of the ADF database (faster loading, less memory used, faster searching,...)
- Updated autofix DMS database
- Updated bootblock database
- Updated exec database

I added 2 new db :
NonTOSEC - Crashdisk (v2021-08-09)
Unrenamed - Commercial CD (v2021-07-20)

Sandancer · 10 August 2021, 17:44

Awesome thank you

RoC · 10 August 2021, 22:51

Great! Many, many thanks

Viceroy · 10 August 2021, 23:14

Well Done!

Asle · 22 August 2021, 16:04

Can you please explain how !DB_Maker_v12.1.exe works ? I simply don't understand anything

And, please, tell me it supports subdirs

Crashdisk · 29 August 2021, 17:04

First, place the program in an read/write folder
Run the program and with the window that opens, choose the folder containing the ADF files (no ZIP, DMS, WRP, ... only the ADF files)
After validation, the program scans the folder and all subfolders
When it is finished, a file named "Last_ADF_File[UseDBName].db" is created
The name can be freely changed (ex: Asle - My Disk Collection.db)
This file must be placed in the /database_ADF folder

Please note :
If in your database "Asle - My Disk Collection.db", there is an entry called "Disk013", it will appear in ADF-W under the name "Disk013"
If you add "[UseDBName]" to the name of your database (Asle - My Disk Collection[UseDBName].db, the same entry will appear as "Asle - My Disk Collection - Disk013"

Crashdisk · 19 September 2021, 23:32

I added a new db on EAB FTP .../~Uploads/Crashdisk/ADF-Workshop :
Amiga TOSEC (v2021-08-08)

Answer to a question I was asked about the flags displayed when decompressing a DMS file.

Code:

File selected             : FWR3UPD.DMS
File size                 : 744.343 bytes
CRC32                     : $BB0CA619

Version number of creator : v2.04
Version needed to extract : v1.11
Packed bytes              : 29.940.292 bytes
Unpacked bytes            : 36.495.360 bytes
Lowtrack in archive       : 00
Hightrack in archive      : 00
Compression Mode Used     : Heavy1
Creation date             : 1994.12.15 07:15:04

Info Header CRC           : $5D9F

Machine Type              : Amiga
Machine CPU               : Motorola 68030

Disktype of Archive       : Amiga OS 1.0 OFS

 FakBB     1.024         -         -  NoComp  - - -  $C936  $D585  $193C     No
   C00    11.264    10.998    10.144  Heavy1  - T -  $5357  $BF15  $586B     No
   C01    11.264    11.134    10.721  Heavy1  - T C  $1EDA  $9CD7  $465B     No
   C02    11.264         -    10.871  Heavy1  D T C  $E992  $75DA  $025A     No

First of all, this only concerns cylinders compressed in HEAVY mode, so potentially DMS created from 1.11 version.
D > Typically, the raw data is pre-compressed with the RLE method before applying the Heavy method. This flag indicates that the data is directly compressed in Heavy.
T > This flag indicates that the compressed data starts with a literal table.
C > This flag indicates that the data is compressed individually from the others. Generally, the compressed data of a cylinder X depends on the data from the decompression of cylinder X-1. If this flag is set, the cylinder can be read without having to decompress the previous data. This is only used with the DEVFIX option (for use with DMSDevice)
