What's in your flash ROM? (Deneb, etc)

[Heiroglyph]

I want to get the most out of my Deneb now that I know the system is stable.  This is absolutely the best Amiga upgrade I've bought, I can't recommend it enough.

So what are you flashing into yours?

Right now I've just got a basic Poseidon plus NoClick and removed the animation.

Is it possible to put the 060 library and the missing Workbench.library for my 4000T in it?

I'm using OS3.9, but wasn't when I installed Luciferin.  Do I need to reinstall Luciferin so that it makes modules of the updates?

Thanks

ive got the whole custom kick in there with all the almost latest patches, the full poseidon init, and the few additional modules i need, most notably those enabling powerwindows.
of course you can put your libraries and devices in there, the question is if this is necessary in case you dont need them exactly at boottime.

I get really tired of juggling the 060 and workbench libraries to get a working system, so having them in the Deneb would save me a lot of trouble should I change drives or resort to booting from a floppy.

On my A1200 I use the following (in a pair of burned 1MB rom):

OLD VERSION         ->                MY VERSION

con-handler 40.2        ->      kingcon 1.8 (Doobrey)
ram-handler 39.4         ->      ram-handler 44.24 (Doobrey)
scsi.device 40.12        ->      scsi.device 44.2 (Doobrey)
bootmenu 40.5         ->         bootmenu 44.8 (AGA) (Gulliver) optimised for 020+ and string change on early boot menu
console.device 40.2     ->       console.device v44.10
filesystem 40.1       ->         filesystem v45.16
filesystem.resource 40.1    ->   filesystem.resource v45.10
shell 40.2          ->           shell v45.27 (Thomas Richter)
exec.library 40.10      ->       exec.library 45.30 (Many) Alerfix + New Alert + interrupt acknowledge fix + 020+
mathffp.library 40.1    ->       mathffp.library 46.00 b2 (Matthias Henze) optimised for 040
mathieeesingbas.library 40.4 ->  mathieeesingbas.library 46.00 b2 (Matthias Henze) optimised for 040
workbench.libray 40.5    ->      workbench.library 45.131
intuition.library 40.85  ->      intuition.library 40.87 (?) optimised for 020+
input.device 40.1       ->       input.device 50.26 (Ralf Schmith) enables multiple input devices.

The Deneb was great (prior to me selling all of my Amiga gear), but I never did figure out how to add stuff to the flash ROM - seemed a bit of a dark art to me!

I got most of it done, at least up to BB2 so no more reboot!


I notice that when setpatch 44.38 is run, it says "68060 support code loaded"

Do we still need 040/060 libraries with this setpatch?


Thanks for the list Gulliver, that gives me some good starting points.

Some of those updated versions seem hard to come by, too bad there isn't a big list of ROMable updates somewhere.

[Gulliver]

Here we go:

_______________________________________________________________________________

kingcon 1.8
Remeber you need first http://aminet.net/util/shell/KingCON_1.3.lha
and apply http://aminet.net/util/sys/OS39_update_patches.lha
Finally apply http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=633937&postcount=13

With this, I totally removed Vinced from my AmigaOS 3.9 install, as it became redundant.
_______________________________________________________________________________

bootmenu 44.8 (AGA)
I used bootmenu 44.7 from decompiling AmigaOS Rom Update from BoingBag#2
with Remus (http://www.doobreynet.co.uk/beta/index.html). Then I patched it
with patchfor020 (see Aminet), and then I replaced with Filex (see Aminet) the strings:
"Original" with "OCS"
"Enhanced" with "ECS"
"Best Available" with "AGA"
And bumped the version number
_______________________________________________________________________________

exec.library 45.30
I used exec.library 45.21 from decompiling AmigaOS Rom Update from BoingBag#2
then applied Alerfix + New Alert from Blizkick (be carefull with the order these two)
And the interrupt acknowledge fix http://aminet.net/util/boot/BK_IntAckFix.lha
_______________________________________________________________________________

intuition.library 40.87
I used patchfor020 on intuition.library 40.85 and bumped the version number
_______________________________________________________________________________

input.device 50.26 -> from PoseidonV4.lha at http://www.platon42.de/poseidon.html
Inside InstallData/Devs/input.device
_______________________________________________________________________________

ram-handler 44.24 -> from Files1/L/Ram-Handler in BoingBag#3
console.device v44.10 -> from Files1/Devs/console.device in BoingBag#3
scsi.device 44.2 -> from Files3/Devs/scsi_A1200.device in BoingBag#3
shell v45.27 -> from Files1/L:Shell-Seg in BoingBag#3
workbench.library 45.131 -> from Files1/Libs/workbench.library in BoingBag#3

_______________________________________________________________________________

filesystem.resource v45.10 -> from Devs/AmigOS Rom Update in BoingBag#2
you need to decompile AmigaOS Rom Update with Remus (http://www.doobreynet.co.uk/beta/index.html)
_______________________________________________________________________________

mathffp.library 46.00 b2
mathieeesingbas.library 46.00 b2

I registered them by paying 5 euro to the author at http://www.hsmathlibs.de/index_e.html
_______________________________________________________________________________

filesystem v45.16 -> from Files1/L/FastFileSystem in BoingBag#4
_______________________________________________________________________________

This is what I remember, I know I have more things in that kickstart.

______________

Other usefull stuff to include in a rom build:

icon.library 46.4.175 from http://aminet.net/util/libs/IconLib_46.4.lha
Noclick from Blizkick (see aminet)
Card reset http://aminet.net/util/boot/BK_ResetCard.lha
IDEDelayFix from http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=639772&postcount=5
rebootfix (from Blizkick)

Fusion Reserve (I believe it was a blizkick patch, If I remember correctly)

No longer needed with Boing Bag 2

Thanks, I didnt know

Is it possible to put the 060 library and the missing Workbench.library for my 4000T in it?
Thanks

ThoR's (Mu) 68060 library is not ROMable. One of the other 68060 libraries might work though. The newest workbench.library is ROMable.

I notice that when setpatch 44.38 is run, it says "68060 support code loaded"

Do we still need 040/060 libraries with this setpatch?

Yes. SetPatch loads the 68060.library and prints that message. Without SetPatch and the 68060.library your Amiga will crash when an instruction that is not in hardware is used. This isn't very common with integer instructions (64 bit integer mul and div instructions are missing) but FPU use will very likely bomb.

No longer needed with Boing Bag 2

Now I was wondering why ShapeShifter didn't need it in 3.9 and worked straight away when in 3.1 it is required.
