Kickstart ROMs from Cloanto
- Cloanto is the copyright owner of the Amiga Kickstart ROMs. They sell the product Amiga Forever, which includes a large collection of Amiga ROMs.
- In multiple versions of Amiga Forever, the ROMs are encrypted. Encrypted ROMs cannot be used with NanoMig.
- In earlier versions of Amiga Forever, a file named
rom.keywas used to decrypt the ROMs. If your ROMs are in a folder alongside this file, they are likely encrypted. - Newer versions of Amiga Forever also ship with encrypted ROMs. However, once you enter a valid license key, the ROMs are decrypted. These decrypted ROMs can be used with NanoMig.
