Unable to import ROMS into A1200NG

[Rob_Hawk]

Hi,

Looking for a little help please.

I am unable to upload my purchased Cloanto ROMS. I skipped the step on the initial start up and now when I try to upload ROMS from a USB stick I am only presented with two out of the many in the directory. I have watched several YouTube videos and have seen others uploading the same ROMS that I am trying to so am not sure what I’m doing wrong?

You will see from the two images attached what I see in the ‘upload ROMS area’ and also what’s actually on the USB stick when I check in Directory Opus.

All help greatly appreciated.


Regards

Rob

Those Roms are encrypted and can not be used right away. This is indicated by the ROM.KEY in that directory and the roms also are too big, 524.288Bytes is the correct size.

You can a) install AF to a computer, your decrypted roms should be in a directory like C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\Shared\rom or b) use https://github.com/abcbarryn/decrypt-amigaforever but you have to compile it yourself

Hi Thanks very much.

Sorry for my silly question but what's AF?

** EDIT **(Okay sorry AMIGA FOREVER! I have purchased this but only used years ago to set up FS-UAE on my mac). I'll take a look this evening.

Help appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks. It was easy to compile and the import now works perfectly.

So I'd recommend this option for others looking...
