Cloanto encrypted ROM and rom.key
Adam Kowalczyk
I'm trying to run UAE on a LinuxPPC box. I've got the Cloanto
encrypted ROM and the rom.key file. Does anyone know the proper way
to boot UAE with these files. I've been searching for the command
line option to pass the rom.key filename without luck.

Is this what you get when you acquire a rom from Cloanto? I suggest you
search the web and download a decrypted rom image.

No, I downloaded Amiga Forever 5.0 off the web and it works perfectly
flawless on my PC. I wanted to look into how well UAE ran on a 500
Mhz G3 and look into what it would take to run native PPC in UAE. I
downloaded the UAE source and looked it up for myself. I'm also
curious to see what it will take to get JIT working on the PPC.

I didn't try it yet, but you should be able to run the transrom
utility inside WinUAE to get an unencrypted ROM file.

Thomas, I think you're right as I have vague memories of having done
this in the past. I'll give this a shot to verify that the ROM works.

You mean like running WarpUP/PowerUP-Apps in the UAE?
Sounds cool, but you would probraly have to rewrite those ppc.libraries or
whatever they are called.

The (Bernie Meyer)JIT ist very x86-specific, and therefor both Hyperion
and the MorphOS-team have started their JITs from scratch.

Adam,
Assuming that your version of UAE is current, if you look in the config
file there should be a reference to rom.key that you can append the path
to. Otherwise, (on my version of UAE at least) when you load UAE there
should be a config screen where you can set the location of the rom file
and the key file.
Best of luck,

Once you've done this, you can run transrom from within the emulator to
extract an unencrypted ROM if you like.

I had the same problem, and I downloaded the source, and did a search
in there for .key (or cloanto or something like that) and the code has
the option that you need to add to your .conf file. I stopped using
the linux version since I could never get the screen to show up in
proportion and I found it horribly slower than the windows version.
