Is there any sort of command or program that can extract files or code from a kickstart rom?

Thanks

What is the name of the tool?

What sort of coding or programming languages was the kickstart rom written in?

Since that might help.

Since it is next to impossible to extract files from the kickrom is it possible to disassemble a kickrom file?

I am trying to merge kcikstart 1.4 A15 with kick 3.1 to create a custom rom for my use only.

Which are the best Assembly and C programming tools to use to disassemble the kick roms with?

I have already downloaded several programs off aminet to attempt to look inside the kickrom file but it mostly comes out as total garbage, I assume that it probably has something to do with the C programming that the rom was also programmed in.

I think I have a very good idea of what I am getting myself into.

After browsing the internet for glimpses of the kickrom programming I only found the brief extract of the fake kick 3.5 rom.

The coding that I saw on that site and the coding I get when running one of the many programs on my 1200 is completely different.

If I succeed on being able to reprogram a romfile it won't be distributed anywhere.

Would it be possible to copy both roms onto a flashrom and modify them from their instead of dumping them to disk?

I am creating a merged 1.4 and 3.1 rom to add some of the features that were in 1.4 but were never implemented into later versions of the kickstart and also to see if I can improve any part of both of the roms.

Just downloaded the ReSourceDemo program off aminet. It kept on giving me recoverable errors on every single computer I have here.

Any other disassmbler/assemblers that would be recommended?

If I have gone throught this before then I apologise in advance.

Would it be possible to get instructions on how to extract everything from the rom?

If it is in files coding or both it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter how crappy the documents or instructions are aslong as they just about work.

Thanks

With abit of luck I might be able to program an application that will easily allow modification to any sort of kickrom file or disk.

But for now any help is greatly appreciated.
