--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


During the last 6 months, I have been working on a HDF image, which has Whdload games and demoes preinstalled and ready to use. It is greatly inspired by Bloodwych ClassicWB with Workbench and startup sequence is done from scratch. Both iGame and MagerValp’s Arcade Game Selector 2 is installed can be used to start Whdload and hd-games. Each game and demo has screenshot and details extracted from data sources like Lemon Amiga, Open Amiga Game Database, Pouët and Janeway Amiga Scene Demo Database. AGS2 is combined with EasyMod to play music while browsing games and demos. To make it easy to use I have added a configure setup menu, which can be launched from Workbench or by holding down right mouse button during boot. This configure setup allows customizing use of accelerators, OS patches, patched scsi.device, change boot sequence and tweaking Whdload settings. Right click during boot also can also be used to revert or reset settings, if they should result in OS not booting.

Now I would like to share this image with other fellow Amiga users, who might be interested in such a setup. So, in order to release this I, know I have to remove Workbench and kickstart files. But is that enough or do I need to remove additional licensed parts?

I plan to do a similar approach as Bloodwych has done with ClassicWB, where Workbench and kickstart roms installation will be automated. Legal Workbench and kickstart roms just needs to be provided.

To give some insight into what this is, here are some screenshots.
