Replacement for UAE?? Like a ROM file for UAE.. Is this for ArosUAE?? Or is it a kickstart that boots AROS on classic Amiga hardware ( was 68K Aros Made??).. This really confuses me when I read this.. Do you intend on creating a kick.rom file that runs UAE that's made from AROS's open source kickstart (exec) routines? This is not very clear..

I've reworded it to include more information.

Not only is it impractical... it's impossible. 100% compatability means that everything in the Amiga 3.1 ROM has to be in the AROS ROM. The Amiga ROM was hand written assembly with many tricks to squeeze everything into the ROM which only has a few bytes of unused free space. AROS is written in C and would take much more space. There's no way everything would fit in the ROM.

Does the AROS ROM replacement have to be the same size as the orginal kickstart for the use of the kick.rom in E-UAE/UAE?  If it doesn't, it's not an issue that I can see for the bounty.  We're just wanting E-UAE/UAE to be happy and boot is all so it can run most apps.

AROS ROM bounty has been split up to Phase I and Phase II.  Feel free to donate to both of them.

It would be pretty funny if WB 4 and onwards were based on AROS and created by the Community instead of KMOS.
