Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

Hi. On the Cloanto Cd my 3.1 ks A500 file looks like this...

[001/001] C:\Users\Tony Win7\Desktop\trydowave_kickstart3.1.bin.rom
Size: 524,299
CRC-32: 0C728EF9
MD-5: dc3f5e4698936da34186d596c53681ab
-------------------- FILE SIGNATURE COMPLETE --------------------

I have 3.1 for A1200, A3000, A4000 and CD32.
Theres nothing for the A2000 or A600.

 

[gump]

Please understand...

Kickstart 500/600/2000 is the very same kickstart

Its for the 16 bits amigas.

A12000 kickstart will do failure on kickstart becouse of 32bit amiga. 1200 etc is split on 2 16 bits roms. Thats why 2 roms chips.

Just checksum the file you beleave in. Regardless if The name is a2000 or 500 or 300 or whatever

Just check the checksum. Rename and upload !

That's pretty strange file, if you'll ask me. Why is it 524,299 bytes in size? Proper Kickstart for Amiga could be 256KiB = 2¹⁸ = 262'144 bytes, 512KiB = 2¹⁹ = 524'288 bytes, 1MiB = 2²⁰ = 1'048'576 bytes, or 2MiB = 2²¹ = 2'097'152 bytes as explained here. Your file looks 11 bytes too long thus of course checksum will not match...

 

[trydowave]

Gump: Just checksum the file I believe in? That's a bit vague?

I cant be bothered to type out all the roms I have on the cd so here's a screen grab.



I used the tool gfsw.exe and dragged the rom files into it to get the information as suggested.

Cheers

Checked with crc32 and uploaded tonight, thanks for the service!

PS: me stupid and not sent as binary first (did it old school comandline), so.... please use the _bin_ one

--w------- 1 ftp ftp 524288 Dec 26 17:20 weehawk_bin_kickstart3.1.bin
--w------- 1 ftp ftp 528448 Dec 26 17:14 weehawk_kickstart3.1.bin

I have the Cloanto Amiga Forever 2014 Plus Edition. I WinRar'd the entire rom folder and non of the CRC values match that posted by kipper2k.

The following file should be the correct one: amiga-os-310-a500.rom, but the checksum does not match

Size: 524,299
CRC-32: E4D58065
MD-5: c3e114cd3b513dc0377a4f5d149e2dd9
-------------------- FILE SIGNATURE COMPLETE --------------------

I don't have an A600 (yet) to extract the ROM from, so not sure how to proceed.

It might not be the easiest but this should work....
Set up winuae to boot a 600 from that ROM. Once this is confirmed as working boot one of the tools listed above in the emulated a600 and dump the rom. Thus should then strip out the extra 11 bytes and make sure that checksum matches.

 

[CrazyBob]

I believe the Cloanto Amiga Forever kickstarts are encrypted and the low and high bytes might be swapped.
CraigsBar instructions should do the trick.

 

[gump]

Yeah. I totaly forgot. All or some of the cd files are probably swapped files or they wont work in x86 cpu:s in winuae etc.

It might work to byteswap them.

I do not have any cloanto cd. I would have checked to help you all if i had any cloanto cd :/

Kickstart ROM with correct checksum uploaded to FTP as requested. Many thanks.

 

[trydowave]

At least I know now that my confusion was warranted. What a friggin palaver!

So... this is what im going to do... im going to boot winuae. load up the A600 config and change its kickstart to the 3.1 A500 KS from the cloanto cd. shove grabkick onto it and create an image... then use the tool in windows to read the info...

Here as follows:

Files to signature: 1.
--------------------
[001/001] C:\Users\Tony Win7\Desktop\kick40063
Size: 524,288
CRC-32: FC24AE0D
MD-5: e40a5dfb3d017ba8779faba30cbd1c8e
-------------------- FILE SIGNATURE COMPLETE --------------------

If this checks out im going to upload this image (under my amibay name) up to the FTP.

Edit.. uploaded and awaiting confirmation.

 

[gebes]

uploaded under my amibay name, will check every so often to see if it's moved to the valid folder and that way I know I did it right.

 

[supaduper]

First off Big thanks to` trydowave` for helping me sort this`Palaver` out I agree with his sentiments.

I have now uploaded: supaduper_kickstart3.1.bin ROM with correct CRC

 

[gump]

@trydowave

Excellent that you sorted it out

I didnt mean to be rude. If i was. I apollogise.
I totaly forgot that rom files for emulators etc often are byteswaped, encrypted etc

Can anyone help? Thanks!

[trydowave]

Don't worry, you weren't being rude mate. Im just glad it's finally got sorted out...

Ill be even more glad when our Vampires arrive

Happy New year everyone

 

[cktwo]

Worked it out using another ftp client. So, never mind...
Now waiting for confirmation...

 

[karloch]

During holidays I won't have access to my A600, is it any problem if I send the kickstart about 7th January?

 

[Rakeim132]

Same here... Will not be able to send before 15th of January... But I don't mind waiting to receive Vampire II a bit later...
