1mb kickstart to fast ram

utri007 · 14 January 2016, 12:25

First, how do I know that my kickstart is sofkicked?

Check picture, are those modules in 32 bit fast ram?

If not what software I can use to it? Blizkick doesn't support 1mb roms, MuFastRon doesn't support, etc.

Remapollo does and it works nicely with my 040 Apollo, but problem is with my Blizzard 060 card

The maximum address for 24-bit is $FFFFFF so yes those modules are in 32-bit RAM.
If BlizKick does not work with 1MB kickstarts, I am not sure there is a way to softkick a 1MB ROM, other than using skick which is a pure software rekicker (which requires a relocation file which you do not have since it is probably a custom ROM).

Come to think of it, when I created my custom 1MB rom, I think I used the 1MB ROM header from the BlizKick package so are you sure it does not support 1MB roms? Perhaps they just need to be created and used the right way.

If those modules are in 32 bit fast ram C:CPU FASTROM maps 1mb kickstart to fast ram.

I thought so, but I wanted to be sure.

Blizkick manual says that max size is 512kb, but seems that CPU command works, so everything is OK

If they are not loaded from disk, then they must come from kickstart yes.

Where does sysinfo say that the kickstart is located? My guess is that it should be $68000000 then?

Kickstart is located to 00F80000. Modules are on kickstart, not loaded disk. Just wondering that addres is from 24bit space??
