The "virus" is just a couple function call. There's now a function in CVS-KOS called flashrom_delete, it's what the program uses. For the record, no one other than me has a binary of the virus, and only one other person has source. It took MAYBE 30 minutes to write. On a happier note, my flash app is ready for beta release, it just doesn't do anything useful yet ^_^;
You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

So what does this virus do, exactly? Would it render a DC unusable?EvilSporkMan wrote:The "virus" is just a couple function call.

there was a dreamcast game that had a virus, but this isn't a threat since it was a computer virus that didn't do anything on the DC. This program seems dumb.. like you just wanna feel power or something for having something dangerous... there's already a file that lets u flash the eprom (or w/e its called) with ur PSO, etc info (and its useful).. thats enough.
about the virus in Atelier Marie, it's a virus called Kriz, which is contained in a PC screensaver on the boot ring of the GDrom, and activates as soon as the GDrom is placed in a pc.
Kriz will erase the CMOS setup and attempt to corrupt a computer's BIOS chip in a similar way to the CIH (aka Chernobyl) virus. This effectively paralyses the entire computer, making it unusable and forcing the user to replace the entire chip.
The virus also attempts to overwrite all files on local hard disks and network drives with garbage.
pretty nasty crap, eh?

Where is this file? It probably does almost the exact same thing...'cept I wasn't aware it existed.IllegalWarez wrote:there was a dreamcast game that had a virus, but this isn't a threat since it was a computer virus that didn't do anything on the DC.

But PCs don't run code out of the boot sector(s) of a CD except when they are booting. The only code they run normally is whatever is defined as the autorun.about the virus in Atelier Marie, it's a virus called Kriz, which is contained in a PC screensaver on the boot ring of the GDrom, and activates as soon as the GDrom is placed in a pc.
