How to soft kick 1mb rom?
« on: March 27, 2015, 08:56:05 PM »
Blizkick and RemApollo doesn't support 1mb roms, is there any other softkicker able to do it?

ACATune supports, but it also support only ACA accelerators.

Thanks Cosmos, I didn't knew that.


So what to do with my Blizzard? Blizzkick doesn't support 1mb kickstart, it is sure, I needed to also disable map rom funtion.

CPU command with FASTROM swict seems also working. But how do I run it so that it doesn't leave shell window open? CPU FASTROM QUIET doesn't do anything.

Wich leads a question, what if I want program print something to screen? and after that closes shell window so that boot can continue normally?

Thomas: I have a 1mb rom in physical kickstart, so current rom to fast ram is totally OK for me.

Could you tell me how do I run RemAPollo so that it print result to srceen but closes shell window after that? That it would be usefull with CD32 emulator also, if it could print to screen something like "press X to boot from CD".

What I have http://www.mfilos.com/2010/12/guide-create-and-burn-custom-kickstart.html

There are some problems with that guide, RomHeader is needed with every custom kickstart and DummyCDstrap is needed with every accelerator with MMU.

Best possible scsi.device is this http://aminet.net/package/driver/media/SCSI4345p

How ever there is problem with included guide

If you haven't installed LoadModule yet, download it from Aminet
for the required ExtractModule tool.


There is no ExtractModule command inside of that archive, but you can get it here http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/PatchRAM

Works like a charm with 400gb hard disk. Drive did not regocnize with original commodore scsi.device.

This is how HDToolBox want to make partitions :

There seems to be some confusion with Blizkick and 1mb kickstart/rom, guide says :

Two kickfile (and ROM) sizes are allowed:
 256K KS 1.x
 512K KS 2.x, 3.x
