- NewBoot V1.1
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This is a new powerful bootblock including some nice routines.It is of
- course NO VIRUS.There are two versions, a PAL version and a NTSC version
- with less features.Use NBInstall_PAL and NBInstall_NTSC to install a disk
- in df0: with NewBoot V1.1.
-
- !WARNING! Be sure that there is no special bootblock loader often
- found on games.I'm NOT responsible if you have destroyed
- any bootblock, so be sure that you only install disks
- with normal bootblocks!
-
- If you boot a disk installed with NewBoot V1.1, the following will happen:
-
- - The screen turns dark yellow to show that NewBoot V1.1 is still on
- this disk.
- - If the right mouse-button is pressed, the screen turns cyan and
- nothing special will happen (e.g. a normal bootblock will be
- executed and the following will be skipped.)
- - All reset-vectors will be cleared (CoolCapture, ColdCapture,
- KickTagPtr and KickMemPtr)
- - There will be no NTSC Amigas (only PAL version)
- - The CLI-Window will open with max-size, e.g. 256 pixels (only PAL)
- - If the left mouse-button is pressed the screen will turn purple
- and all FASTMEM will be killed
- - A FastText routine will be installed.That means every routine using
- _LVOText will become very fast ! Try to use page-up/down with an
- editor like genam2, ed, amigabasic etc...The routine is certainly
- able to exist under multitasking !
-
- Well, I think that's a nice collection of useful routines in the bootblock.
- Before I wrote this bootblock I used in my startup-sequence NoNTSC,
- NoFastMem, MaxSize and BlitzText.No I put all these programs in the bootblock
- plus killing all viruses and my disk is much faster and has more free space.
- Enjoy this bootblock !
