#A3000 ROM Switcher
4 messages in this thread
All,
I would like to know if anyone has heard of a ROM Switcher board for the A3000
that could switch ROMs at startup similar to the MultiStart II. I have OS3.1
installed and would like to switch back to OS2.04 for some games that are not
compatible with OS3.1. The main problem seems to be with the way that 3.1
handles the pointer.
Thanks, Pete

Pete,
With the 3000, you do not need a ROM switcher. There is a rom image
grabbing util here in the libs (can't remeber the name) that will save your rom
image to a file. Reinstall your 2.0x roms, grab the image, save it to a file.
Reinstall the 3.1 roms then from a shell use "SetCPU kickfile <path to the rom
image>", and the system will reboot to that OS. You will need to set up a 2.x
partiton and use the version command to redirect the bootiing process to the
correct partition.

Stve,
Silly question, will that work with a 4000?

Gracia,
I would think that it should, but I have no first hand experience, then
again will a 4000 even boot to 2.x? From my understanding all you need is a
functioning MMU for SetCpu to do it's magic (no 68ECx0). But I have also heard
the 040s MMU is finicky.
If it does work post back here and let us know!
