- Short: MapROM tool for Blizzard turbos. V1.6.
- Author: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
- Uploader: sintonen@jyu.fi (Harry Sintonen)
- Version: 1.6
- Type: util/boot
- Requires: OS 1.0+, Blizzard turbo with MAPROM feature
- 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.
