Kickstart Editor updates, extra features and fixes!

But you don't need to extract the Modules if you don't want as you can add them straight from a ROM without extracting;

CapCLI> add "/path/to/ROM.rom" "Component name"

This is the same as "RomSplit" and saves the files to the local dir (use "savedir" to change where you save files)

Perfect thanks !

Or at least : "copy over all components from this other ROM in the same order", after you've created a new ROM + added the required bytes to the scantable. Rather than having to specify components one by one (currently I don't even know how to dump them from an existing ROM)

In the current version, what would be the minimum script to turn the stock 3.2.2 A1200 ROM into one with the same components but that scans 0xE00000 ?
Once you have that, it seems easy to create the required extended ROM with extra components as described on the website.

There's an update in the latest version v1.04, you can now use a wildcard to add components from an existing ROM;

add /path/to/ROM *

This will add any components from the source ROM into your new ROM (unless they are already in the ROM).

I've created a new RAT/Test called "Hyperion.3.2.2.1Mb.A1200.nopatching" it uses the CD32 exec which comes "pre-patched" and is compatible with the A1200 so you could have a look at the script (under "Tests"), it means making 1Mb A1200 ROMs really simple!

Awesome tool, thanks for macos compability. Hyperion.3.2.2.1Mb.A1200.nopatching script is nice. Now if only I could get BlizKick modules working...

I have 3.1.4 custom kick with bppcfix built using remus, but 3.2.2 is tempting.

Hi!

New version of ehide.device ($VER 1.2) smaller then $VER 1.1. Its perefctly fits into A1200.47.111 kickstart. I have made CAPCLI script:

# Creates a 1Mb Hyperion 3.2.2 ROM with workbench and icon libraries and ehide.device for the A1200 using the CD32 exec without patching

# Define some of our source files
auditfiles ROMs
alias SOURCEROM "$0x5c40328a"

# First create the "normal" 0xF80000 Kickstart
newrom 512k 255
rombase 0xF80000
add "Components/CD32/exec.library"
# OK, maybe one patch - set the Kickstart ROM version to 47.111
patch $(KICKSTARTVERSION) 0x002F006F
add "$SOURCEROM" *
add "Components/ehide.device"
add checksum
add size
add vectors
checksum

saverom Tests/Output/Hyperion.3.2.2.1Mb.A1200.nopatching.F8

# Now create the 0xE00000 extended ROM
newrom 512k
rombase 0xE00000
add "Components/BinaryChunks/ROMHeader_E0"
# OK, maybe two patches - set the extended ROM version to 47.111
patch $(KICKSTARTVERSION) 0x002F006F
add "Components/workbench.library"
add "Components//icon.library"
add checksum
add size
add vectors
checksum

saverom Tests/Output/Hyperion.3.2.2.1Mb.A1200.nopatching.E0

# Save some burnable files for EPROMs
romprofile dual 0 1
saveprofile 512 byteswap Tests/Output/Hyperion.3.2.2.1Mb.A1200.nopatching

Thanks for the script but where can I find ehide.device (Version 1.2)? I don't see it on the exxos forum.

oooh... awesome, didn't know there was a new version, I'll update the instructions, that's nice!

Hi!
Small question - which version of CD32 exec library did you used?

If you want a 1Mb/2Mb A1200 ROM, you can use the CD32 exec from the CD32 modules floppy as it comes 1Mb/2Mb enacted

Thanks, everything works on my side.

Thanks for the tooling and the script to include ehide.device - it was useful and I managed to get myself a new Kickstart built swiftly!

I read that it was also possible to include pfs3aio in the Kickstart. Is it simply a case of using add "pfs3aio" in the CLI script, or is further magic needed?

If you have space, then just "add /path/to/library" as long as pfs3aio is v2.2 or above then it's "romable", there won't be enough space in the 3.2.2 ROM with ehide and you'll need a 1Mb ROM.
