WUAE:: custom rom to load a kickrom from HD?

[azvareth]

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible (everything is) to code/write a custom rom that would for example load the "real" kick.rom from harddrive, remap the rom to there, and continue to boot as normal.

1. would it be easy ?
2. what tools must be used ? (to get the code onto such a rom)
3. has it ben done ?

why?
first it would be much more easier to modify a rom loaded from disk... second I have some ideas of changing the functions in the rom.

an example "recompile" aros for native Amiga and the step to a free AmigaOS would be closer.

note: this is an idea at this point, no plans.

Thank you for your answer, perhaps it is better to remap it from s-seq then.

I was only playing with the idea to have an OS loading from disk, for example a (soft)rom containing only the basic to launch the system and then load everything else during startup, libs: intuition, wb, ... devices, handlers and ....

I was even thinking of tech from virtual machines (UAE) to somehow "map" the hardware thru software and as such I thought it would be "remapable" to some point during startup (for example the rom adress).

But then again only ideas at this point, and now checking if it is posible (I might [or might not] try anyhow, but not with a fullblown OS).
