Title: Problem with relokick and its custom ROM image.
Post by: AmigaMance on January 25, 2007, 03:31:09 PM

 I'm trying to run some old 1.3 software using ReloKick and i noticed this problem: When a disk loads a workbench screen (WorkBench 1.3 for example) and i try to double-click a volume, the volume window opens but the mouse pointer remains busy forever and the system stacks there. I have to reset after this.
 This happens only if i use the custom ROM image that comes with Relokick which offers the ability to diable the  CPU caches and change PAL/NTSC. If i use an original 1.3 ROM, this problem doesn't occur but i lose the ability to disable the caches etc, and this doesn't help much to run old software.
 Is there a solution to this?

Hi,

I seem to have posted this same response a few times recently, but have you tried TUDE (http://www.aminet.net/package/util/misc/TUDE)?

Like Relokick, TUDE can be configured to softkick 1.3, turn off caches, force DblPAL/DblNTSC, force OCS, restrict RAM to 512Kb, etc, etc. There's a GUI based app to pick all these options included in the archive.

 Thank you InTheSand!
 I tried it and it works ok. There is one small problem though: Unlike Relokick, i can't make it to stay resident. I have to reload it in every reset. Is it possible to make it resident?

Good point - I only generally use it for a quick 1.3 session and then can't wait to get back to normality! Too much orange and blue is bad for the sanity!

And on one weird A1200 I own, I have to switch off for what seems ages to remove 1.3 via Relokick, otherwise up pops the hand again when I switch back on!

But... back to the question... I don't think TUDE can be made to make KS1.3 reset-proof. But then again, it only takes a few seconds to load and boot into 1.3.

 Ok, thanks.
