Soft Kick Rom

[Thomas]

What the difference between BlizKick and skick

Blizkick requires an accelerator with MapROM support. Skick works with any CPU and enough RAM.

Blizkick can load every ROM file, skick only works with ROMs for which relocation files exist (.pat and .rtb).

Blizkick protects the mapped ROM area against write accesses (like a real ROM), skick has no protection.

Skick cannot find my new Rom file in Devs:Kickstarts. I have put it in there
as A1200.47.102.RTB. per what I understood as the instructions.

That's not how it works. You have to put the ROM file into Devs:Kickstarts as A1200.47.102. Then you either have to get a A1200.47.102.RTB file from the SKick author or create your own A1200.47.102.PAT file. These files list all places in the ROM file which are absolute addresses. So to create such a file, you have to seek through a disassenbled listing of the ROM and note all places which are such absolute addresses.

Section 8.2 in skick.doc describes it a bit more simple than it actually is.
