Amiga Kickstart 34005.a500 Download
Velia Blacksmith
Replace in the kickstart_rom_file line with the full path of your bios folder or where your kickstart roms are, im using kick31.rom (md5: e40a5dfb3d017ba8779faba30cbd1c8), but can use any other if the game requires it.
Edit: I tried running the core and just starting with the 1200 and A500 kickstart (all the required kicks are in the system folder along with with a whdload file which was working a month ago in android) I believe this is the relevant error: with A500:
I have all of the kickstart roms in the right place and detected. When I try to load a game (zipped ADF files) I get the kickstart boot screen (the hand holding the disk) and I hear the disk sounds, and that's it. It just goes on forever, but never actually starts the game.
Cloanto`s got the amiga forever package that contains kickroms, but they
require a keyfile (included), to be able to use them. So that`s not really
going to help.And lastly there`s the internet, that has numerous sites with kick13 for
download; but as you know, they`re illegal to download and use.colin

Don`t you think that you`re being a little over-zealous in your pursuit of
piracy upon the amiga, when you have to attack a mear inquiry by a regular
as to why an original game requires an a500 rom john?[high-horse]

While I'm certainly not claiming what you say to be incorrect, I
personally did find it a bit disingenuous the way the hard work of
the WHDLoad crowd has been referred to.As a long time Amiga owner, I have long been painfully aware of how
often games are too closely tied to a particular generation of Kick-
start, CPU, or ChipSet. I'm quite grateful that it's so easy now
for WHDLoad contributors to fix titles by not having to reverse
engineer code (for every game) to work on all Kickstarts.As someone who bought the Amiga-Forever pack (and all the Kickstarts
that came with it) though, and hence not really having any legal
concern over soft-kicking whatever kickstart version, my judgement
of the situation is probably a bit biassed.Nathan. (Feeling very non-confrontational today.) ;)

*sigh* ..and the same old arguments come up again. The thing is,
that's not the *point* .. pirate all you want, I could care less.
Just don't go trying to do your warez swapping *in* *this* *group*.You're asking questions that have been asked 20 fecking times here
this year already. Just look in the archives for your answer. And
if ya wanna swap warez on a group, go to one of the alt Amiga groups
that *already* does that.Nathan. (Yup, arguing the same point yet again .. reminds me of my
job.) :)PS: You're also forgetting that Cloanto also do that excellent Amiga
Forever package, with more legal kickstarts than you'll probably
need. ..If you weren't gonna get it from a real Amiga, then they
are the ones you're probably cheating out of money.

*sigh* alt.binaries.emulators.amiga or alt.emulators.amiga are the
ones that are primarily what most people are after. If your news
provider doesn't carry what you want then maybe you need to look at
a better news provider. I mean s**t, news.individual.net does a
better job than any of the providers I *paid* for .. it's free, and
provides all groups. There are others like allnews.readfreenews.net
too. Hell, even Google carries them.These groups are *not* particularly inaccessable. And these are only
the *newsgroup* forums for this kind of thing. There are other
resources on the web that cater for what you want. Anyone, like you,
who says otherwise has just been too lazy to *look* properly.(It's been *years* since my ISP carried alt. groups BTW.)And even if there weren't such things, doesn't change the fact that
this is *not* what CSAG is about. If you'd bothered to read our FAQ,
lurk here for a while, or check similar discussions in the archives
you'd know that already.Stop your moaning, and learn how to do a google-search for gods sake.

Look, alt groups are not a real part of usenet, and it lives it's own life,
most providers filters alt.*.comp.sys.amiga.* is official tree for amiga if something is not here it's
ok to assume no such group exist.Also description of a group:
't say ANYTHING that warez questions are forbidden, so I'm afraid
you're simply enforcing artificial rules on new users.
