Hi I've been playing around with creating my own custom 3.9 rom and it works well but looking at adding updated stuff ect an was looking at romfixes from blizkick but don't seem to be able to find out what it "fixes" does anyone know?

Thanks

Are you using this guide http://www.mfilos.com/2010/12/guide-create-and-burn-custom-kickstart.html

There is a small error, DummyCDStrap is needed if your CPU has a MMU, not just if you have BlizzardPPC. MMU blocks memory area used By extended part of rom, it will work but it is bog slow.

Blizkick guide tells very well what those romfixes does?

cant find a guide that explains what "romfixes" does

with dummycdstrap is this also needed with a 030 with mmu?

I don't use any of the Blizkick patches for an AmigaOS 3.9 kickstart which includes many fixes already. I do use the Remus patches called Patchmath020_All and NoClick in the BK_Mods directory of Remus but they are not necessary. These modules can be added at the bottom of the ROM contents in Remus.

For a 512kB kickstart, split the AmigaOS 3.9 BB2 update (no more double reboot is necessary with these) which will give:

bootmenu 44.7
console.device 44.8
exec 45.20
FileSystem.resource 45.10
(Fast)FileSystem 45.13
scsi.device 43.43
ram-handler 44.23
shell 45.7

Then replace with newer versions from the unofficial AmigaOS 3.9 Boing Bag updates:

console.device 44.10
FastFileSystem 45.16
layers.library 45.24
mathieeesingbas.library 40.4 (or hsmathlibs)
ram-handler 44.24
scsi.device 43.45 (or higher as there are several patched versions)
shell 45.27
icon.library 46.4.411 (Peter K)

thanks i will have a look at these
