Boing Bag 2 - ROM Update
« on: July 27, 2009, 03:40:59 PM »
I am just curious how this works.  Does this "update" to the ROM occur after the real ROM is loaded from the chips?  I am not incorrect in that 3.1 ROMS are not editable, right?  It must be loading it when workbench starts up?

I'm just curious because I was informed that I can use Deneb as my primary mouse (including the boot screen) but only if I install Boing Bag 2 Rom update, but I don't understand how it would update the rom on cold boot.

Has anyone ever tried burning these new rom images to actual physical ROMs to make it all easier.  For example, I want to be able to use my Deneb USB Mouse immediately from the kickstart screen without having a hard drive in the machine.

witht he deneb you can add all custom rom modules and have a fully updated machine without any boots.  I beleive.


Anyone know how to do this?  Sounds like what you are saying is that I could put the whole new Boing-Bag 2 Rom and Poseidon USB Mouse drive in the Deneb ROM to get this working?
