Kickrom 3.5 rev.40.71

[Piru]

KS 40.69 is no real OS 3.5 ROM (real as including the OS 3.5 ROM Updates).

It's a ROM with rompatches and some other BlizKick modules applied and the version field poked in manually.

Some archive even has my name tagged to such file. I have absolutely NOTHING to do with it, nor does it make the file any more genuine.

KS 40.71 (attributed to Amiga Technologies) is a fake. The file started circulating well before Doobrey's tools were developed.

If you want "real" 3.5 ROM you'll have to use Doobrey's tools yourself.

'nuff said. It is a fake, and a bad one.

@Donar

Last time AMIGA Inc. heard of someone making his own 3.9 ROM they send their lawyers.

It was a bogus DMCA claim. Basically if it would have been someone with enough balls (or money I guess), they could have sued Amiga Inc for it.

but they sue you if you make your own ROM/tell others how to do it.

It's nonsense really, they can't tell you what you can or can't do with the KS ROM you own. I should know, being BlizKick author and all. I've never heard a beep from Amiga Inc.

BlizKick is in aminet, and I see no reason why romus tools couldn't be aswell.

[Piru]

Maybe it has your ExecSG incorporated

It doesn't.

[Piru]

With regard to the issue that you are talking about, we were notified by third parties that someone had manipulated and altered the ROM's. This is a violation of our IP and they were notified

Well, even if the ROM was changed, it's none of Amiga Inc's business.

Oh, and BlizKick has done this for a decade now, where is my DMCA takedown notice or the lawsuits against me? (Included is a a tool that can apply the modules to ROM and create a new one, this can be used with BlizKick itself, or burned to EPROM for example)

I don't say that it is illegal, but AMIGA Inc. thinks it is and they (maybe) will come after you as they already have with others.

I can't wait.

[Piru]

Well yeah. Still doesn't explain why Amiga Inc took down some *video* showing the AmigaOS 3.9 ROM on A1000. Amiga Inc had absolutely NO rights whatsoever to the video, the author recording it had all the copyrights.

Speaking of interesting tools, here's one

[Piru]

Ohwell. I would have contested that view and kept the video up.

Since after all, the video itself isn't infringing in any way.

[Piru]

Indeed, the ROMUpdate format is rather self-explonary.. if you have any clue what executable files look like it's trivial to extract the modules out of it.

It took me just couple of hours to write the tool to extract the files out of the update. The result is in the BlizKick archive, including source code.
