rom scanner questions

[NLS]

you mean you put it in ROMs folder

[DamienD]

Yup, to clarify put the file rom.key in the same directory that you store your KickStart ROMS, then point to this directory in WinUAE and then select Settings --> Paths, click Rescan ROMS

Okay, now it works. I guess I needed to restart the program a couple of times. Thanks.

While we on this topic could someone Please put me right ?

A bit difficult to help without listing names..

Could some please tell me what Arcadia Multi Select is ?
Cheers

Well Google and the Internet is your friend.

Arcadia was a coin-op (arcade) machine, made on Amiga hardware.
Many games were ported for it.

You do not have 1.4b (VERY RARE) A3000 ROM.

What is the exact version number of this ROM?

36.16 = A3000 1.4beta rom.

Arcadia: search. (they come with mame rom set also)

[StevenJGore]

36.16

Two of the ROMs in my ROM directory are:

amiga-3000-boot-rom-v1.4-r36.16-1990-commodore-a3000-rom0-.rom (256K)
amiga-3000-boot-rom-v1.4-r36.16-1990-commodore-a3000-rom1-.rom (256K)

But when I start a quickstart A3000 config with 1.4 ROM selected, I'm told I need a single 512K 1.4 A3000 ROM.

Are my two 256K ROMs just the 512K split in two, and if so, how do I combine them?

Steve.

Split roms aren't supported yet. Planned in future.

You can do a "simple" combine of files by doing the following in a command prompt:

copy /b <file 1> + <file 2> <new file>

[NLS]

would this work?

maybe the ROMs have some header so they don't add up properly

in any case Steven if you try it, do it both ways (0+1 and 1+0)

That does not work. They need to be interleaved (and most likely byteswapped too) if they are real ROM chip dumps
