I don't see how this code can work.

ROM setups something and then jumps to address zero which does not contain any 68000 code..

I can see it needs at least 2M Chip to work. Not sure about other requirements.

debugger hint: f fc0008 and reset = break at the start of rom.

to bad. if you cant find anything, then it seems hopeless. i'll google a bit, maybe something pops up.

Thanks for that, Oxygene!

Now to see if I can get it running...

yup runs here if I choose A4000 from Quickstart configuration in WinUAE 1.5.2

Thanks, DDNI. Now I've got to get it running.

Just do as DDNI says.

I don't know how vital to adf images are, but make sure you've got both of those inserted to. (Edit: doesn't see to matter reading the website)

After further testing it seems to work on any AGA amiga setting. (a1200, a4000 or CD32)

Hmm... I wonder why hit couldn't get it working? And Toni didn't seem to think it would work at all!

Toni Wilen · 21 December 2008, 11:02

I used the most obvious configuration (for me), selected some A500-style configuration, noticed it uses 2MB chip and resets cache and vbr only if 68020+ -> 68000 + 2M chip "should" work. Which was wrong assumption..

hit · 21 December 2008, 16:19

hey, nice find. did that a4000-quckstart setup, changed rom and inserted the two disk-image. working

does also work with the ToolKit2 injected kickrom.
using winuae 1.5.4 beta4

So, would it be fair to say this is Sinclair QL+ emulation then?

does anyone have an amiga.org account and could tell Namek about the progress?! TIA.

Never mind Namek, someone should tell Ratte about the enthusiasm for the working QL which has been brought about by its being freely available.

After all, just a patch could achieve this for KickTOS.
