Demobase Amiga WIP

[.mad.]

maybe this will help???

http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/explode-7

This is a bug-fix of the explode.library, library needed by executables
crunched with TurboImploder - old but still the best cruncher for executables.
However, the library has a bug hidden for nearly 5 years! Although authors
claim that decrunching routines are aware of 68040's copyback mode - this is
not truth! They clear caches ONLY when an executable calls the decrunching
routine of explode.library directly. However, after the library has patched
LoadSeg() and NewLoadSeg() vectors... pooof! That's no longer the case! In
effect, small files, when imploded, can randomly crash on 040 machines. This
also applies to 68060 CPU, which has even bigger datacache.

As I still use TurboImploder I decided to disasemble it and fix the bug Also
I removed 1.3 support code and did few optimizations, what made the library
slightly shorter.

This version is based on explode.library 6.0.64 (28.10.91!!) by Peter Struijk
and Albert J.Brouwer. I hope I didn't violate copyright by releasing this
bug-fix

Hi Mad,

As far as i know the files i sent to Paul have to be decrunched ....
(they are packed with xplde.lib v4).
For the Amiga Geek thats an easy job....still i have found no one
that wants to do that for me.

I have asked many times for help on EAB,no luck.....

So this is the prob:

I am not releasing any time soon cause this is something that
can be solved with a little help.

xplode.libv4,xec.lib,mathrans,mathieetrans? and some other
packers are used ,i really want them decrunched so i can run
them from the frontend.

Hi Sjakie43,

Yes i know.

the files run as they are imploded or not.
they just need the "explode.library" in the libs dir.
*included on this disk

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P70YO2PW

this disk also has the imploder util which the demos were imploded with, and a couple of the demos you posted here.

type DIR when disk has loaded.

type
intro.exe for scoopex intro crunched
scoopex.exe for the same scoopex intro uncrunched
1.exe effect intro - wild palms (crunched)

type imploder
for the util to uncrunch the other demos.

Hey Sjakie43, Is Demobase Amiga nearly done yet? Sounds like a real monster of a project but please keep it up as there is so many good Amiga Demos I'm looking forward to seeing in this release.

There will be news soon.....
