Location of Amiga directory - Kickstarts

Unread post by cursedverses »

I'm looking to have a few configurations of Amiga set up on my MiSTer, but when it comes to selecting a ROM that isn't kick.rom I get the message "Missing Directory: Amiga". I've added an Amiga directory to the root of both my SD card and USB key, added a folder in BIOS called Amiga but still get this message. Does anyone know the full path to this folder so I can create it?

Thanks!

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Minimig-AGA_MiSTer ...At the root ... why you add a directory ?

and no, it's not in BIOS

I can get Minimig to boot with a kick.rom in the root no problem.

It's in the memory section, there's an option to specify which kickstart (ROM) to use. Selecting this gives me the "Missing Directory: Amiga" issue.


EDIT: Got it, it works if I drop the kickstarts in the Amiga folder on the root of my USB key. The kickstart files have to be appropriately named (aka e.g. amiga-os-310-a1200.rom)

My failures were:
  • Putting kick.rom in the Amiga folder
  • Putting aros.rom in the Amiga folder
  • Putting kick.a1200.46.143 in the Amiga folder
Putting a Amiga Forever kickstart in without changing the name worked just fine.

How is your USB key formatted, what is on it?
