16 August 2014, 19:37

Hi

Ive been looking around for Roms for Blizzard PPC and Cyberstorm PPC cards. I need the ROM and not the update.
Im gonna use this in Winuae for testing PPC support. Anybody know where to find these? Or anybody already got some I could have?

Seems like they are in the zone. Accelerator-roms.zip

How do I get access to the zone?
after joining the group, look for "The Zone" link next to the "logout" button.

Hi
I'm looking for Blizzard PPC rom and there is no file Accelerator-roms.zip in TheZone

How is the legal issues regarding these BlizzardPPC roms? Is there anyone that actually owns them like with kickstart roms, so if a person would use them in say a demonstration video, they could get in trouble?

All of the ROMs are available on the FTP.

I've checked and the most complete archive is expansion_boot_roms [Renamed version of accelerator_roms, more HD controller ROMs included.].zip. It contains everything that the others contain, however accelerator_roms [Accelerator ROMs for WinUAE PPC].zip contains different versions of the following files:

Quote:

ccd44037ec7e89f0bb52bf10d1d72cd3 *blizzardppc_040_44.67.rom
d87a78f0f0051c7de7d7ab63442eb441 *blizzardppc_040_44.69.rom
8cd2388f28b59982fcc653a1bbc8e6d2 *blizzardppc_040_44.71.rom
e030aef40dd21417d2cd5d78283e183d *blizzardppc_060_44.67.rom
83ffcb713b4392bf806b90f3ed491604 *blizzardppc_060_44.69.rom
28867194233a7ea7ec055b7ee83058f0 *blizzardppc_060_44.71.rom

Each of those files is 256kb, whereas the same files in the larger zip are 512kb.

I don't know anything about these files so don't know if the 256kb are underdumped, or maybe superseded by the 512kb ones. Can WinUAE use both? I haven't tested to know so anyone that knows, or is willing to test, please chime in

Last is expansion_boot_roms [New MAST Fireball and Hardital Synthesis.].zip from 16.12.2020. And you don't need to unpack it, just put that zip file in roms directory and use "Rescan ROMs" in Paths.

Thanks Tomislav. I didn't know "expansion_boot_roms" had become the new filename for releases
