Pardon me if this is a stupid idea, but why can't you boot UAE with the encrypted ROM and then run transrom on the virtual amiga to get an unencrypted rom?  I've never looked at the source for UAE, but it would seem to me to be a huge slowdown to unecrypt the ROM as you run the routines in it, so UAE probably just unencrypts it on bootup, and the virtual Amiga just sees it as a regular, unencrypted chunk of data (which you can just save off with transrom).

Works just fine like that..

Also, WinUAE is open source, so you can get the source and build a ROM decrypter out of those if you like.. :-)

If AUE's ROM.kick files are truly encrypted, then it would be because the bundled transrom program encrypts the data as it copies it from the Kickstart ROM chip in the first place.

Nope. Transrom creates normal byte-for-byte copies of the kickstart..

Amiga Forever != WinUAE even though it is built on top of it. :-)
