The Amiga Forever Package from Cloanto (now v11) includes most ROM files up to 3.1/3.x. The Individually downloadable Amiga Forever Classic Support Disk Pack includes the NTSC Kickstart 1.1 and generic Kickstart 1.3 ADF's (Kickstarts that were on disk), excludes PAL Kickstart 1.1 and generic Kickstart 1.2. Also includes the Relokick v1.4 Degrader by Galahad.

Are the v11 ones unencrypted?

There was quite a discussion on EAB about when that happened. AFAIK AF has had unencrypted ROMS for awhile. At least since v9 maybe.

My AF11 ISO has a rom.key file in the ROMs directory but not sure if that means that the ROM files are encrypted or not.

After a quick check online it states the Value Edition of AF since AF 8 are likely to have ROM's with XOR encryption making the ROM file approx. 1kb larger eg 513kb rather than the standard 512kb. This is coupled with a rom.key in the ROM folder. There are 128kb and 256kb ROMs also that this would apply to.

It also states AF Plus Edition and Premium Edition since AF 8 do not have this encryption system and are unencrypted.

My AF 11 Premium downloadable package has unencrypted ROMs.
