Introduction to Amiga Kickstart ROM Amiga Kickstart ROMs are required in order to boot any Amiga computer. In addition to essential boot functions, Amiga Kickstart contains large parts of the Amiga Operating system (AmigaOS). All Amiga computers (except A1000) are shipped with a built-in ROM chip. James t. ferrara. Since Amiga ROM-files are copyrighted, one is not allowed to use any version of the Amiga Kickstart ROM unless one; • Owns an Amiga computer equipted with the corresponding ROM version.

• Purchases the ROM, either as hardware chip or as a software file. Getting ROMs for Amiga emulation A common reason for obtaining the Amiga ROMs is emulation. The most popular Amiga emulator is WinUAE, which due to copyright reasons doesn't include (but requires) the Amiga Kickstart ROM files.

• A fast and easy way to get Amiga ROMs is buying the emulation and support package. It contains all Amiga Kickstart ROMs from version 1.x to 3.x, including CDTV and CD32 extended ROMs. Amiga Forever makes emulation extremely easy by providing a one-click gaming interface, ready-to-run Amiga hard disks and more than 100 pre-installed Amiga games. Upon purchase Amiga Forever and the ROM-files becomes immediately available for download. • A more difficult way to transfer the Kickstart ROM from Amiga to PC is using software such as. For this you will need a null-modem serial cable, or make the transfer over TCP/IP.

This method is only recommended for experienced Amiga users. Models and Kickstart versions The table below illustrates the Amiga computer models and the corresponding Kickstart ROM versions.

ROM trivia Amiga games are sometimes incorrectly defined as ROMs, but they are actually read/writable disk images (except CD32 games of course). The term ROM is only correct for console/arcade games which have been dumped from cartridges or CDs.

But I guess all crc32s are the same.

It looks to me like you did md5 which is a 128 bit secure hash. What you want is crc32 which is a communications hash that only outputs 32 bits.

Thought md5 & crc32 are the same things. Anyway, I used Beyond Compare which shows CRC column (not sure if it's 32-bit). Can't copy column so I painstakenly manually typed out ALL crc32s c3bdb240 *Kickstart v2.04 rev 37.175 (1991)(Commodore)(A500+).rom 1e62d4a5 *Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom 88136ca9 *Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.63 (1993)(Commodore)(A500-A600-A2000).rom 1483a091 *Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A1200).rom d6bae334 *Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A4000).rom Let me know which ones are good & which bad. You could have posted a screenshot instead of typing it out edit: just checked the crcs of 3 of em, the a500+/cd32/a1200 and they are all fine and there's no reason WinUAE shouldn't recognise them. Oh, WinUAE doesn't recognise: Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.63 (1993)(Commodore)(A500-A600-A2000).rom but recognise the rest. I haven't tried to see if it runs the kickstart.

Am just talking about the ROM scanner. So you say 1e62d4a5 *Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom works for you and your WinUAE rom scanner recognises it? Try copying all roms but Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom from your kickstart folder. Click on Rescan ROMs in WinUAE.
