GUIDE: How to extract Kickstart ROM from Amiga Forever Value vs Plus / Premium
Hello everyone! First post on this forum and I'd like to share the steps for extracting the Kickstart ROM files that come with Amiga Forever.
Note the following restrictions: AF Value: - Costs only $10 - Doesn't include all Kickstart ROMs, but 1.3 is included - Does not use rom.key, but a DLL for decrypting - Process of extracting rom files is more work AF Plus / Premium: - Costs $30/$40 or $20/$30 as an upgrade - Includes all Kickstart ROMs - Uses rom.key, which UAE based emulators can easily import - Process of extracting rom is extremely simple Process for extracting the Kickstart ROM from AF Value: - Start AF - Go to systems - Edit Workbench 1.3 profile - Go to Media tab - Add a directory somewhere on your computer (I'm going with amiga as folder name) - Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\Shared\amiga_utilities - Copy transrom to your amiga directory (the one that you added previously) - Start Workbench 1.3 emulation - Double click on Amiga Workbench 1.3 icon - Double click on Shell - Type the following command: Quote:
Process for extracting the Kickstart ROM from AF Plus / Premium: Option 1: Create an ISO image - Run AF Plus - Go tools > Build Image - Choose destination folder and press Build - Burn the ISO to a DVD, mount in a virtual drive, or unzip with 7-zip or similar - Open FS-UAE (that's what I used) - Go to Main Menu - Amiga Forever import - Point it to the DVD and click Import - Done Option 2: Copy ROM files from installation folder - Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\Shared\rom - Copy these files somewhere else on the PC, for example the directory that your emulator monitors for ROM files - Run FS-UAE (that's what I used) - Go to Main Menu - Amiga Forever import - Point it to the folder with ROM files - Done YouTube versions of these steps If you prefer a visual overview of the steps, I created these two videos: [ Show youtube player ] [ Show youtube player ] Last edited by Phil; 12 September 2015 at 11:52. |

Very informative...! Was curious as I noted that the version of WinUAE you were using is an old one, and that your original file dates in the video are ~2009, so just wondering why this is your first post here...? (I know, I'm nosy...

A kickstart 1.3 with 512kB? You dumped somehow a wrong file in the first video. All Kick 1.x files are 256KB. Unless Amiga Forever has a 512KB file (overdumped?) in their Value Pack.

I was s bit annoyed when I got the cheap version and found out. The information is somewhat tucked away deep in the FAQ of the AF website ![]() Last edited by Phil; 21 September 2015 at 01:03. |

Yes, FS-UAE (and WinUAE) will recognize an overdumped 1.3 kickstart ROM - it is also catalogued in TOSEC

Is there anything that can be done? Meaning how does one dump the kickstart ROM files so they can be used on a real Amiga or FPGA Mist of example? Is there another dump tool that doesn't overdump? EDIT: Nice! The Mist takes the encrypted ROM as long as key.rom is also on the SD card. Very happy with that ![]() Last edited by Phil; 28 September 2015 at 15:30. |
