@AAA3A and I have been testing out a new installer script made by Matt. He's been at this for almost a month already, and it's really incredible. The script can download MediCat USB from either Google Drive OR via Torrent from within the script itself, and assist you in getting it onto your chosen USB device.

So I downloaded the MediCat torrent 3 times using 3 different Torrent clients. In each case, the installer .exe showed as being included in the list of files, but was nowhere to be found in any of the directories. Looking at the individual files, it should have been located in the root directory of the download. All the other executables were there so it wasn't a target of any malware/virus app. It was a phenomenon I have never seen happen. I thought perhaps it was my torrent client, which is why I switched 3 times - but they all did the same. Finally, I came across the link for Matt's script and decided to give it a whirl. It took quite a while to download all the pieces (Like 2+ hours and I have a i7 and 400Mbps Down) - but I am a patient person and just let it do its thing... In the end I have a working installation now and I thank everyone who has put a lot of effort into this project. One question I do have though is - why isn't this distributed as an .iso? Seems like it would simplify things? But hey! Thanks guys for the hard work nevertheless.

on screen instructions are bad. leads you to believe it can download the files on its own but it can't.

Yes it can, you just need to have PowerShell installed on your system. Please come to the Discord with any issues before leaving a nonsensically bad review.

Kudos to the developers! A nice "little" script, that must have been quite a lot of work to code this, thanks for providing it! I'm glad to have found such a great script here! This is already, a completely different league than "Sergei Strelec" or the "Hirens Boot CD" series! This one is "the Next Level!"

P.S
The "False-Positive" finding, probably comes (at the EXE file, which was distributed here before) because, it is (as I think) an "EXE" file, which was created from a "Bat" file with a "Bat to EXE" converter. (Please tell me if I am wrong). If, here it was packed with "UPX" (similar to 7-ZIP), it makes the false positive problem even worse. Because malware is often packed with UPX, because the packer supports encryption and encrypted archives or packed files escape the eye of a virus scanner. So most scanners (also Virustotal counts to it) recognize simply, everything, which was packed with UPX as malicious files. This is one reason why virus scanners are no longer the first choice, as in the 90s ...

I could very well be doing something wrong, but I ran the executable and here's what I get:

Please bring this to Matt's attention in the Discord, so he can help you. https://discord.gg/hZWkufx3ye

Alright, it does give you a virus warning with Windows Defender but after looking around for a bit it turns out it is a false positive. PowerShell commands are known as cmdlets which you can use to execute and even automate system-level tasks (which is the case here since it is automating the download & install process).

Also the code is public.

This tool beats the hell out other tools i don't find the reason for it being a false positive by some people I find rather common sense and knowledge is missing here :).
EpicLPer
This is being detected as Malware by various different scan engines on VirusTotal. I also doubt it's a simple false positive, a simple script with built in Torrent downloader should not be detected as such.

It's because it calls PowerShell. Please don't rate the installer poorly just because you don't understand why it's being flagged as a false positive.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
