XBOOT III 3.20 ENG - Patched!

[Gaiyan]

Hey,

Please find attached what I believe is the latest version of XBOOT III in English. Trouble is, it crashes when trying to save a set and the date is wrong.

Joska posted a working patched version here: viewtopic.php?f=97&t=31425&p=315338&hilit=bootmanager#p315338. It's an older version and in German. TheNameOfTheGame posted a translation. Both versions work for me.

Can someone take a look at this please? Thanks. Never mind, I had a go at it.

Not patched:

xboot.prg.zip

Edit: Patched (Can't test on a CT60. Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll try a couple of things)

xboot32E.zip

XBOOT III Manual is here (bad quality but I enhanced it)

Atarian Computing downloads section launched!

Here's a manual for XBOOT III as a small contribution on my part. It's really crap quality as you can see from the source I used (attached below). I removed attachment to avoid confusion.

You'll find a patched English translated Xboot here : viewtopic.php?f=97&t=31425
Thanks for the manual, I was looking for it

That's the link I linked on the top. That's version 3.02.

[Faucon2001]

What patched version are you looking for?
This one is patched for CT60 and allows to save sets without crashing.
It also works ok in 030 mode. That's the one I use.

Patched version of the 3.20 version I linked in the OP. It's the latest version no one seems to have yet. I have a working 3.02 ENG version. That's not the problem. I'd like to use the latest version.

[Faucon2001]

Opps I mixed 3.02 with 3.2

[Gaiyan]

Here's the Y2K Patcher for 3.1. I wonder if it can be modded to patch 3.2?

I had a go at patching and it seems to work. Had to do it on a Hex editor as the patcher expected version 3.1. I ended up patching XBOOT.PRG directly. Took a few efforts. Here it is, enjoy!

Thanks a lot Gaiyan. I have tested it in CT60 mode and it works good ; no crash when saving sets. Well done.

Good to hear. Thank you.

Thank you from me as well... but I'm curious... do you have any idea of what is changed between 3.10 and 3.20?

You're welcome. No idea. Haven't found any change logs.

Going to add this here rather than a new thread.

I am using this.. Xboot III 3.2 eng patched.

I am following everything as far as I can tell.

I have multi sets. But I want to have a newdesk.inf for each or options anyway.

I have a VME ET4000 / Multisync so I can run low/med/hi..

SO I create a desktops folder (just because) in my root. I create 3-4 different .inf files there..

I boot xbootIII and I choose the .inf file for the set I want.. I boot.. make changes and when I reboot.. it is loading the NEWDESK.inf from the root OR ????

I think I am not saving the changes to the .. save VME.inf file? but to the newdesk.inf? I know xboot copies VME.inf to newdesk.inf before it drops to desktop.. but how do I save changes to VME.inf??? do I have to manually copy over newdesk.inf to VME.inf before I turn the machine off??? because there is nothing in the program that is pointing the desktop to vme.inf when I go to options save desktop .. correct???

[crashman]

It is weird. Works like a charm in Falcon 030 and CT60e mode.

With my version, MagiC 6.20 crashes in 060 mode, i have to disable it.
