You should use only bb 1&2. Those patches will cause problems.

Hush, you.  :laughing:

Wait, what exactly is your question?

I think he's asking about the large 3.9 ROM update file?

Replacement libraries go into LIBS:, replacement devices into DEVS:, the Shell as Shell-Seg into L:, and the Ram-Handler similar to all Dos-Handlers into L: as well.

This is probably a pie-in-the-sky request, but can you give us a list of the names of *all* the modules LoadModule looks for/replaces, and in what locations?   Thanks!  :)

RemAPollo is a tool specifically made to be used with a certain range of the Apollo accelerator cards. Its main purpose is to copy the entire Kickstart ROM into Fast RAM, which in turn leads to a faster Amiga (since reading from RAM is faster than from ROM). Especially Workbench gets a bit snappier and more responsive, but programs that use gadtools also opens quicker as well.

This concept worked fine until the release of BB2 for AmigaOS 3.9. Now there was a conflict between RemAPollo (DRAP) and SetPatch, which lead to the Amiga rebooting all the time (caused by the new exec.library).

The solution then was to either simply use BB1 only, or to load the BB2 ROM update as modules, like described in this thread.

Another probably dumb/obvious question, but if the RemApollo tool "breaks" when using anything newer than BB2, why not just get rid of it and use another tool out there to load Kickstart into RAM?

or if there is a good alternative for rekicking ROM.


Yes, many. Have you tried some of the other programs listed in this thread, or Aminet, SKick, etc.?
