@ Jope:
;-) My point was that Transrom is bundled with UAE (Whichever flavor,) and is written to run on an Amiga and create the data file that UAE expects. If UAE expects an encrypted ROM, then Transrom would be the tool that encrypts it.
If the version of UAE on the Amiga Forever CD was re-written to use encrypted ROM data, then your idea has merit, though it stands to reason that any version of UAE that expects encrypted ROM files would be bundled with a version of Transrom that correspondingly encrypts any ROM file it reads.
On the other hand, AF's UAE may not include Transrom at all, since it includes its own ROM images.
