E-ROMATO

Eeasy ROM Altering TOol..... you see i will never regret that name .... ever.


This is my first script as i learn Python. If your Computer Explodes using it... blame somebody else!

Somehow thanks to AI help and lot of trial and error it actually works!


Why?
----
Why not Use REMUS ?
Haven't got a clue ! 
This script is easy i guess apart from Python 2.0 and two drawers in: "SYS:" it won't need anything. 


What it actually does
---------------------
It will swap bytes of any file you throw at it,
very useful for Kickstart Files that you want to burn on Flash Roms for instance.

Rom files in the path "SYS:PYIN/unswapped.rom" will be swapped and stored in "SYS:PYOUT/swapped.bin"
 
If you want to burn Kickstart 1.3 as it might happen, the resulting .bin file will be doubled
to match a 512KB Flash ROM 




Requirements
------------
Python 2.0 and any system to run it at measureable speed.

A Drawer in SYS: called "PYIN" and one called "PYOUT"
 
IF you don't use AMIGA OS, "SYS:" obviously won't work!
For that you may alter the script.




NOTE
----
This release is missing features that i plan to add.
Once my python skills are a bit less limited, if that ever happens
 

INSTALL
-------

Make Directory SYS:PYIN
Make Directory SYS:PYOUT

Copy E-ROMATO.py to your Python main drawer (this will allow to call "E-ROMATO.py" very easy) 

Copy E-ROMATO.info anywhere you want


USAGE: 
------

Copy the Kickrom file in question to SYS:PYIN and rename it "unswapped.rom"

Klick the Tomato

OR open a shell
OR the Execute window by pressing Left Amiga + E and type python E-ROMATO.py

WAIT..... it takes some time.

After it's done swapped.bin will appear in SYS:PYOUT you can burn this to your ROM chip now.


Winner don't use stolen ROMs!
Thats all
