Softkick problem

[Amigaz]

Spent around 2h today  :crazy:  trying to softkick my A600 which has a Apollo A630 board but with no luck..
I've built a custom kickrom file using romsplit+remus and used the same recipe as on my other Amiga's.
Problem is that I can't softkick the file with either BlizKick, CpuControl or any other softkickers I've tried
I would have used the command "CPU FASTROM" if it had worked but I only get a crash when using it, tried putting it before and after setpatch

Are we A630 owners doomed to run slow system with no kickstart remapped into 32bit fastram?  :boohoo:

BlizKick for sure doesn't work with Apollo A630.

Tried RemAPollo? (I doubt it works either, but it's worth a check)

Yeah, I though BlizKick was worth "a check" when I tried it

I didn't try RemApollo since it says it's only for '040/060 cpu's but it's worth a final try....

It's just odd that you can't remap the kickstart to fastmem when you use the OS3.9 romupdate  :getmad:

No it's not. romupdate works with any system, regardless of CPU. Mapping the whole ROM is much more demanding trick. For example BlizKick relies on hardware to do the mapping.

Weird that it doesn't work then if I run CPU FASTROM at the start of my startup-sequence....
Must be the OS ROM UPDATE patching stuff that doesn't work with the plain AmigaOS CPU command remapping then?

CPU FASTROM remaps the ROM kickstart. It doesn't let you use different one.

Yeah but I thought that the OS ROM UPDATE parts would patch that remapped rom which is in my 32bit fastram

They don't.

ROM Updates are 100% separate of the kickstart ROM.

Thanks for clearing that out  :-)
