Problem saving ROM in config file with 3.6.1

[AlphaUMi]

Hi! I have the following problem. I created a config file for A1200 but no matter what, WinUAE does not load the correct rom I've saved in the config. I mean, I saved a 3.1 ROM, and if I open the config file with a text editor, I can see that the correct ROM has been saved. But not matter what, when I load the config, the ROM is the dafault 1.3. Of course I can change the rom manually with the GUI, but the rom I've saved is not supposed to be loaded automatically?

Quickstart mode is enabled?

Yes, it was. And I just kept your hint and tried again with Quickstart mode disabled but nothing changed. I'm posting a snippet from my config file, maybe you can notice something interesting.

use_debugger=false
kickstart_rom_file=.\Roms\Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A1200).rom
kickstart_rom_file_id=1483A091,KS ROM v3.1 (A1200)
kickstart_ext_rom_file=
kickstart_rom=v1.3
pcmcia_mb_rom_file=:ENABLED
ide_mb_rom_file=:ENABLED

For example, kickstart_rom_file and kickstart_rom do not match the version number. If this is the problem, I cannot save that setting trhough the GUI. I forgot how may times I already tried pressing the "Save" button.

I don't know much about config files but seeing that you can read it... couldn't you also edit the kickstart_rom=v1.3 to kickstart_rom=v3.1 and save it to over-right the original (make a copy first though).

My config files do not have the line :- kickstart_rom=v1.3 in them as far as I can see. (3.1 2GBHD.UAE)

use_gui=yes
use_debugger=false
kickstart_rom_file=..\..\..\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\shared\rom\amiga-os-310-a1200.rom
kickstart_rom_file_id=1483A091,KS ROM v3.1 (A1200)
kickstart_ext_rom_file=
flash_file=
cart_file=
rtc_file=
kickshifter=false

Where has this line come from?

kickstart_rom=v1.3

Just create a brand new configuration file in v3.6.1 and it's not there... so will be ignored anyway.

flash_file=

rtc_file=
kickshifter=false

Problem solved. I mean my config file has this string:

kickstart_rom=v1.3

If I change it (manually, I mean with a text editor) to:

kickstart_rom=v3.1

Everything is solved. I already did that change, and it worked. Anyway,

Are you saying you don't have that line? Let's see what will happen if I remove it from the config file. Thank you for your support, I'll report back.

PS: Problem: is that line supposed to be there? Obviously I did'n write it myself. Is that a remnant of previous versions? Because it affects the config file and prevents to load the correct rom.

I'll try it and report back.
Thank you.

kickstart_rom is never created or modified by winuae.

It is option for front end/etc creators to enable easy way to set up correct KS ROM without requiring full path, by using WinUAE ROM scan results.

Thank you all for your clarifications! I removed that line - problem solved.
