Pointless to have LoadWB in ROM, workbench.library itself has alse been moved out from ROM since it has grown and there are much more vital stuff that needs to be there. But go ahead, you can create your own ROMs now

Great, why hasn't someone put a youtube video on how to burn your own ePROMS, for Amigas?

Here's a starter script:

I can recommend the eprom programmer they use in the video.

You are wrong
This is a freeware loadwb command, you even have the sourcecode of it and it works great. http://aminet.net/util/sys/MSys-1.2.lha

BTW, I already built sometime ago a kind of "FreeWBench" with free alternatives. If interested, I will search for it in my stack of backup floppies and upload it.

Wow! I didn't know that, but thanks for letting me know
And yes I would be really interested in that floppy of yours.

Hmm... odd I use ReloKick1.3 quite often but not with the ROM image that came with it on the CUAmiga coverdisk CD but with a real 1.3 ROM image captured using GrabKick...

Perhaps your talking about ReloKick1.4 which came with a modified 1.3 ROM Image file... :confused:

I do belive there is a misunderstanding here, what I meant with "hybrid" was not the actual ROM image on disk, but what you will be running after using Relokick. And yes I'm pretty sure that only parts of the kickstart gets patched, so in other words you will be running a ks 1.3/2.x hybrid
It makes sense really, because using the entire kickstart image might lead to 256 KB less RAM available which is no good on Amigas with only 1 MB RAM.

I belived this meant the ROM image supplied with Relokick was a reduced one, but after taking a quick peek at it with a hex viewer, it appears to be the full version. It won't work with winuae though (and yes I have tried this).

Oh, I thought the LoadWB command was ROM'ed in the later versions. Ah well, my bad!

Yes but I was wrong in thinking there wasn't a free version of the LoadWB command as well

Yes this is good tutorial which can be used for a lot of things, and in case Step 2 is FAILING, you will always have someone else to blame :laughing:
