Short: MapROM tool for Blizzard turbos. V1.6.
Author: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
Uploader: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
Type: util/boot
Requires: OS 1.0+, Blizzard turbo with MAPROM feature
Version: 1.6
Replaces: util/boot/BlizKick*
BlizKick is used to rekick any Kickstart ROM image with blizzard turbo
boards having MAPROM feature (jumper). It has been tested with Blizzard
1230-III, 1230-IV and 1260 boards. Kickstart 1.2, 1.3, 2.05, 3.0 and 3.1
are currently tested ROM images.
BlizKick main features include:
*NEW*
- Can be run any time (no more need to start before SetPatch on 1260)
- EXTRESBUF feature: Can use memory outside ROM image for "modules". No
more "iffucient ROM space" -problem!
- Can replace PrepareEmul tool 100%
- FORCE works now more rationaly...
- Has possibility to plant ResidentTag modules into ROM image!
- Can restore the original Kickstart.
- Has built-in FastWaitBlit patch.
- Uses Blizzard board's own MAPROM feature (jumper).
- No kickstart file preparation or similar is needed. You can just save any
ROM image and give it to BlizKick!
- Can make memory on Blizzard board LOCAL, bypass flashy boot of the board
and speed up ROM boot.
- Doesn't use MMU, KickMem, KickTag, ColdCapture or CoolCapture vectors.
-> 100% transparent!
- BlizKick is as OS compatible as possible: Doesn't use any additional
memory (except those 512K and memory used by EXTRESBUF, if specified),
coolcapture, coldcapture, kickmem or kicktag vectors.
- Works with KS 1.0+ There's really no use for this, except for restoring
original Kickstart after using Kickstart 1.x. Well, maybe some freaks
like to boot KS 3.x from disk... ;-)
- Tested with Blizzard 1230-III @ 50MHz, Blizzard 1230-IV @ 50 MHz and
Blizzard 1260 @ 50MHz turbo boards.
