Hi :-)

In fact there IS differences between Amiga's ROMs.

You can not use A3000's roms in an A4000D since you will miss the right scsi.device (IDE_scsi.device in the A4000D and SCSI_scsi.device in an A3000(T), and a small file named A3000_bonus IS different from the A4000_bonus file in the 4000's Rom.

And some other small but important differences (memory space used, ect...).

The only Roms that are pretty identical are A500 and A2000 ones and are interchangeable.

Skick is really ageing now, better use Blizkick.

Conclusion : You have to have an A4000 ROM in your A4000, either Real or Softkicked for it to work :-D

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. :-)

...I'm pretty sure there were small differences between the 1200 and 4000 versions. I had problems using the 4000 version on the 1200.
;-) Well, yeah.  Each Kickstart ROM has support for hardware features that are unique to each 'miggy model, and the A4000 and A1200 differ greatly: The A4000 has real Zorro III slots, while the A1200 has a PCMCIA port, but not the other way around, and probably other differences that I can't think of, right now.

@ 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.
