BlizKick troubles
« on: January 10, 2026, 06:07:20 PM »
I have a strange problem.
My Amiga is an A4000D and the accelerator card is a Cyberstorm MKIII, the kickrom version is 3.2.2,
The maprom function is disabled.
I want to use kickrom 3.1 with BlizKick to run Amiga Game Selector which has tons of problems with kickrom 3.2.x.x.

I run latest BlizKick at the top of my startup-sequence:

BlizKick kickfile="devs:kickstarts/kick40068.A4000"

It kicks kickstart version 40.68 which is 3.1 ok but it get stuck in an infinite bootloop. Same thing hannpens when I test to kick the rom from my kickrom on the motherboard with "BlizKick *" in my ss.

Can kickrom 3.2.2 on my motherboard somehow make BlizKick act like it does?

I have a Blizzard 1230-IV and the maprom function on that has to be enabled for Blizkick to work (but looking at some old threads on here some boards need it disabled like you already have).

Try enabling maprom to see if it makes any difference.

After some fiddling I got it to work. The problem was that the kickrom file I was using. I tried a new one and it suddenly worked.


I then tried to boot into a small Workbench 3.1 install which worked flawlessly. Now I need to get Amiga Game Selector booting OK which it doesn't right now by unknown reason where it can't see partitions beyond 4GB even thought the scsi.device is patched OK to version 43.45
