Overview
The Relokick software boots from a Workbench floppy disk to patch an
AGA-class Amiga like the A-1200 or A-4000 and make it more compatible with some
older games written for original-chipset systems like the A-500. Galahad of
Fairlight has graciously allowed us to include his code, and we polished the
disk a little bit, without altering the Relokick executable.
System Requirements
The Relokick disk should work on any
Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. Its
intended use is on newer models, where it
will "downgrade" the ROM to a 1.3 version
and optionally apply some CPU cache and
video mode changes.
Classic Support Edition
The following changes were made relative
to the initial 1.4a version:
- Restored original 1.3 system files,
names, dates and attributes
- Removed dependencies on
"explode.library"
- Optimized disk structure for faster
boot
The ROM and OS files are now fully
licensed. The physical disk version includes
a license key to re-download or update the
disk image.
Instructions
Insert the Relokick disk, then:
- Boot the Amiga from it
- When prompted, press the left mouse
button to continue
- When the "All operations OK, kicking
up!" text appears, remove the floppy
disk (if you don't, the system will boot
again from the same disk)
When the Workbench prompt (image of hand
holding a floppy disk) appears, you can:
- Press the left mouse button to turn
off instruction and data caches (68020
and higher CPUs)
- Press the right mouse button to
switch from PAL to NTSC
- Insert a disk (e.g. a game) to boot
from it
