-BlizKick : I can't use this, I have 1mb kickstart/rom and blizkick soesn't support them, only 512kb roms is supported.

So why do you use a 1MB kickstart??

[kolla]

There are no 1MB Kickstart ROMs, CBM didn't made them, so that makes them unsupported.

Enters CDTV and CD32... :hammer:

FBLit is now opensourced, so everyone capable can make fixes to it.

Let us not forget that Amiga OS 3.1 also is de-facto open source these days :laughing:

The point is really that: I don't want to support piracy.

In essence you are saying that you only support piracy up to 512kB, and supporting 1MB kickstarts would make you feel twice as bad. Pardon me for not taking your argumentation seriously. :roflmao:

[kolla]

No, it isn't. Just because somebody pirated it does not mean it is open source.

Yes it is, the sources are now easily available to anyone who bother to look for them. Whether sources are "open" or not is not a matter of legality, it is a matter of logistics. In most of the world, it is not illegal to be in possession of the sources, or to do whatever you want with them. Hence de-facto open source.

If I would rob your home, would you agree that all your belongings are mine just because I could break in?

Flawed analogy. If you come to my home and copy everything I got, I honestly would not mind, even when you copy work I had spent years on.

Hence, in future, do you suggest I should keep checksums about ROMs and exclude those that are not valid?

I do not care one way or the other what you support, I do not have any need for that piece of software.

You know, there is a difference between "actively supporting piracy" by providing a feature that only supports pirated software and does not add functionality for valid machines - or providing a feature that works on a legal system and - unfortunately, due to the structure of the problem - works also on pirated versions, and where I would need extra code to actively defeat its usage?

So, you are saying anyone using a 1MB kickstart is a software pirate? That only pirates have any use of 1MB kickstarts? Interesting

One way or another: If you currently use a 1MB "kickrom", you're on your own. Don't expect any support from anyone, unless I see a way how to legally obtain such a ROM. I'm not against supporting it. I'm just against providing a feature that would help in case you do *not* use an original ROM.

Define "original" - do kickstarts from Cloanto count as "original" for you? What do you do the day Cloanto builds a 1MB kickstart? Also, you are aware that Cloanto are using the same "piracy aiding" software as the rest of us to compile their kickstarts?
