Amikit AmigaOS ROM Update

Amigan · 18 April 2008, 20:45

Is it possible to rekick with BlizKick in a real OS3.9 Amiga the AmigaOS ROM Update present in the AmiKit emulator environment ?

Eh?

If you mean can you apply the OS3.9 (BB2) ROM updates as Blizkick modules... yes!

What has Amikit got to do with anything?

I see that Kickstart and Workbench version in Amikit are higher than the ones in real Amiga with BB3.9-2. So i think that it depends from the AmigaOS ROM Update that comes with Amikit, but after i checked it's the same. So where is the difference ??

I dont think Amikit comes with anything you are suggesting. Does it?

No, it is a different Kickstart (45.53 i think) that is loaded by Amikit.
In the comment it says it's for A4000 modified by Cloanto.
Now i want to ask if we can rekick this kickstart in A1200 ?

Sorry but that has to be rubbish.

Amikit cannot distribute kickstart files at all (and they certainly cant distribute cloanto ones). The user has to provide them.

I do not own your Cloanto ROM, but the number within it must be a fake.

Cloanto has done no work AFAIK to upgrade their kickstart images.

I never say that Cloanto distribute KickROM. I say that the KickROM i use with Amikit (And maybe it's the default found in the Amikit archive... i repeat _MAYBE_) and has as comment "A4000 KickROM by Cloanto". If i do a "version" i get a number of kickstart higher than the one used by me in real Amiga environment. Do not know if it's fake or not...

Not difficult to use a hex editor on a ROM file to change the version number.

AmiKit uses AfAOS. This new Kickstart is probably part of AfA.
