Remus + RomSplit betas (Last update 20/11/06)
Amiga Forever

Quick intro...

RomSplit rips rom images apart into it`s component parts (plus 'AmigaOS Rom Update' files and Piru`s Exec44).
Currently only v40.68 (A1200,A4000D,A3000,AmigaForever),v40.70 (A4000D,A4000T,A3000), v40.63 (A500/600/2000) and V39.106 (A1200,A4000) are supported.

Remus then takes any of these parts and builds them back into a rom image.
It can also take Blizkick modules and patches too :))
Actually, it can take any file in the standard amiga hunk format, as long as there`s at least 1 valid resident structure and no BSS hunks.

Why? So you can single boot UAE into OS3.9,or if you have a flash card that supports rom mapping, then you can save some memory since most of the updated residents can be inside the rom rather than taking up extra fast ram, it also leaves more room in the flashrom for other things too..
And if you're one of those wierd screengrab fetishists, have a look here

Main archives.

RomSplit 0.96 (20/08/06)
   Minor update - Added support for AmigaForever 3.X ROM. Many thanks to Michael Battilana/Cloanto.
   Now patches Exec V45 so custom v45 ROMS work with Blizkick properly !!
   (If you had problems, extract exec with this version, and rebuild your ROM)

Remus 0.94 (05/03/06)
   Minor update -fixed 'resident not found' when romtag was in a data hunk..plus othe minor tweaks too boring to mention.

Updates etc.

Updated 'whitelist' for Remus (12/08/07)
   Added support for the updated/new classes in Poseidon (supports all versions upto v3.8)

Remus 0.97 (20/04/06)
   Bugfixes *** executable only ***

V39.106 Datafile for RomSplit (21/10/06)
   Added data for the A4000 3.0 ROM
   Just copy over the old KS39.dat file in remus/splitdata/

PowerWindows BK Module(19/04/06)
  Slightly updated version from the PowerWindowsNG archive on aminet to give error reports if it failed to install!

1MegRom BK Patch (20/11/06)
   Blizkick style patch, to make exec scan for resident modules in the 2nd 512kb ROM space ($e00000-$e7ffff)
   Or in other words.. no need to use the CD32 exec when making a 1MB ROM.

Webmasters: please don't use direct links to these files as they **will** change/disappear as and when updates happen.
  
     Important: If you split the OS3.5/3.9 OSROMUpdate files with RomSplit 0.88 or earlier, you'll need to use v0.89+ and split them again.
(Bug in RomSplit creating bad hunk headers, didn't show up until I fixed some hunk problems in Remus!)

Does anyone have problems with trashed toolbar graphics under AGA? If so, can you mail me and mention what picture.datatype AND ilbm.datatype you have installed.

There`s no install script for either of these apps, just extract them both to the same dir somewhere on your HD.
Also, I forgot to mention in the guide, that the Exec44 binaries must be split through RomSplit before use with Remus!
