I have stuck with Kickstart 3.1 ROMs in my A1200 because I didn't want to lose the authentic Amiga tick logo on the boot screen. The 3.1.4 ROMs replaced that with a huuuuuuuuge boing ball.

I'm guessing these new ROMs will have the oversized boing ball screen. If so, should I keep my 3.1 ROMs, or is it really time to move on and install new physical 3.2 ROMs? The 3.2 notes do seem to recommend the switch.

I know that the boot screen is seldom seen, but I do have a removable SD card, so can pop it out to see the boot screen and load floppies, which is highly nostalgic for me from my original Amiga days.

Perhaps in the future the newer ROMs can use the tick logo? - although I realise that's probably down to several hundred lawyers fighting it out to the death.
