Kickstart Roms in UAE
  • Just looking around
    Posts: 2 from 2023/3/21
    Hello, I have the following problem.
    I installed UAE under Morph OS and then bought the ROMs from Amiga Forever.
    I have now simply copied them into the ROMS folder.
    However, I always get the error message:

    Failed to load Kickstart Image "PROGDIR/Roms/kick40068.A1200"

    I copied the ROMs there - but they have completely different names.
    It doesn't make sense to rename them all now, does it?

    Can anyone help?

    The path and name of the Kickstart ROM file to be used must match what's specified in the UAE config file (.uaerc), which is a simple text file. UAE isn't able to guess this information. And if you use Amiga Forever ROM files, be aware that those are encrypted.*


    * Edit: encrypted or not seems to depend on the Amiga Forever version

    So so I cannot use the files?

    You can. Klick the text in bold and follow from there.
