Twinkick help please

[Ratte]

- please use a blank (fresh formated) 880 kb disk.
- copy both kickfiles on the disk
- rename them to "KICK13.ROM" & "KICK31.ROM" .. !uppercase is very important!
- execute the tkg.exe and insert the disk with both kickfiles
- leave the disk writeenabled and tkg is able to write the new kickdisk on the same disk

i am sorry for the "uppercase" problem, when i wrote tkg.exe it was something like a quick dirty hack, because i used twinkick since 1993.
in 2002 i thought it would be nice to create a "legal" patch, otherwise i could get in trouble with amiga.
so tkg was written in a fast way ... (i never thought about so many a1000-collectors would use it)

Twinkick should boot Kick3.1 from the same Disk after loading from Kick1.3.
But you need FastMem at $200000 ....

What does SysInfo says about your Config?

[Ratte]

The first few seconds before displaying the instructions is just an indicate for "loading".
No syncproblems, just playing with the screencolor.
(Remember the old C=64 tapeloaders...)

Regarding selecting of Kick1.3 or Kick3.1:
You can switch back and for to Kick1.3 and 3.1 during operation!

If your reset your Amiga (CTRL+A+A) press the right Mousebutton to switch to the Kick1.3 or back to Kick3.1.

Try the mail with your working config.
I hope you like it.

OK, thats right.
You can save 512KB extra if you leave Kick3.1 away.

What does SysInfo reports about the "Insider" ... memoryarea at $???.
Is it autoconfig?

Btw. did you noticed the nice Game-Mode?
(Kick1.3 reset + both mousebuttons = colorflash -> gamemode)
It disables everything ... all expansions and external drives.
Even on my rejuvenator (with ECS and 2mb chipmem) the result is a A1000 with only 512KB ChipMem, no FastMem, no Expansions (HDD) and only internal Drive df0:.
Its perfect for some old games, demos ... and after reset+right button you are back in 3.1 with all goodies.

Booting from df0,df1,df2,df3 is a Kick2.x,3.x feature.

If you like coding ... Twinkick supports 1MB kickfiles.
$200000 - $300000 ... this area must be checksumed and Twinkick pays attention to it.
(You lose 1MB FastMem instead of 512KB)
