A1200 ROM Image Version 40.68. Anybody have it?

nyteschayde noted:

Before you start flaming me I do actually own 3.1 ROMs for my A3000D and my A3000T.

[Snip!]

I need a valid A1200 3.1 ROM to use the supplied patch and relocation table files supplied in the SKick archive.

[Skip!]

If anybody with an A1200 has 3.1 ROMs and would like to help me out please email me.

:-( Not as helpful as you would like, I suppose, but bear in mind that Cloanto’s Amiga Forever is said to come with licensed ROM images for all versions of Amiga.  If you can find a copy of that, cheaply, you may be able use the appropriate ROM image with your machine.  E-bay and Amibench may be good starting places to look…

nyteschayde niggled:

Please help me out.

:-( Actually, that was the best I could do.  

Be mindful that, on the one hand,  what you're asking is, strictly speaking, piracy.  Although with your special circumstances, you're as close to the borderline as one can get and still be (strictly speaking,) on the wrong side of it.

On the other hand, any discussion on that topic is moot, as I don't own an A1200.

@ -D-, Nyteschade:

8-) You're right, of course.  If you own an Amiga Forever CD, then you've bought the legal right to use the Kickstart data, encrypted or not.  I only mentioned it as over-compensation for a tendency NOT to mention it, which I noticed I was doing only because Nyteschade's avatar was so pretty, which isn't supposed to influence such decisions.

:roll: I need to get out more.

CodeSmith cautiously suggested:

Pardon me if this is a stupid idea, but why can't you boot UAE with the encrypted ROM and then run transrom on the virtual amiga to get an unencrypted rom?

:-D It’s not a stupid question, it’s just that "You do not have all of the facts.™"

;-) If AUE's ROM.kick files are truly encrypted, then it would be because the bundled transrom program encrypts the data as it copies it from the Kickstart ROM chip in the first place.

-D- -described:

...I'm pretty sure there were small differences between the 1200 and 4000 versions. I had problems using the 4000 version on the 1200.

;-) Well, yeah.  Each Kickstart ROM has support for hardware features that are unique to each 'miggy model, and the A4000 and A1200 differ greatly: The A4000 has real Zorro III slots, while the A1200 has a PCMCIA port, but not the other way around, and probably other differences that I can't think of, right now.

@ Jope:

;-) My point was that Transrom is bundled with UAE (Whichever flavor,) and is written to run on an Amiga and create the data file that UAE expects.  If UAE expects an encrypted ROM, then Transrom would be the tool that encrypts it.

If the version of UAE on the Amiga Forever CD was re-written to use encrypted ROM data, then your idea has merit, though it stands to reason that any version of UAE that expects encrypted ROM files would be bundled with a version of Transrom that correspondingly encrypts any ROM file it reads.

On the other hand, AF's UAE may not include Transrom at all, since it includes its own ROM images.
