WHDLoad and kickstarts...

[flaviosr]

Hi,

I am configuring my WHDLoad... and now I am looking for kickstarts!
I have the complete Commodore TOSEC collection also so I found some of them there but... is there a collection of the WHDLoad kickstarts?

Thank you

You must buy them, Amiga.org does not condone or allow discussions of any kind that include pirated software, or Kickstart ROM files.

Colanto sells AmgiaForever which has all the Kickstart ROM files (encrypted so they need a keyfile) and the emulator WinUAE and a couple others.  It is available on CD with extra content about the Amiga on DVD, or you can also buy a download only version.

The other option is to Dump the KSROM file from a real Amiga that you own.

Good Luck,

mumble, mumble... I have the Amigas!!!
I have kick 3.1, 3.0, 2.04, 2.01 and so on...
Ok... I am not able to dump them but I bought them! I would only like to use them with WHDLoad!
Obviously I do not have ALL the versions (I see in the TOSEC library there are many versions...) but I don't think this is so illegal (in my opinion it's not illegal!)...
I would only like the know which versions are needed with WHDLoad... for example I see 7 type of v2.04 r37.175!!! I own one type (in one of my A500) but I think I could use also the other...
This is a legal matter!!! Is there some expert there?

As you will find in the readme for pretty much every WHDLoad install that requires a Kickstart...

The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts"
and must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a
A500 with tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will
quit with a appropriate requester.
Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the
same directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
"util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.

Stuff that needs a 3.1 image will be similar. See the respective readme.
