Hot-swap Kickstart ROMs on your Amiga 500, 500+, 600 or 2000

The SidecarTridge Kickstart Multi ROM replaces the Kickstart ROM chip with a programmable board that holds your Kickstart images in flash. Pick the one to boot with the SWITCHER on the Amiga, copy new images over USB, and never swap a chip again. Every kit ships with ROM Emulator board revision 4 (RP2350B) and firmware v4.0.0, on one carrier board for all four Amigas.

Which kit do I need?

  • A500 rev 3 and rev 5 / A2000 rev 4.2 or earlier
  • A500 rev 6 / A2000 rev 4.3 or newer / A500+ / A600 (every A500+ and A600 revision)

Both kits have the same boards, with one jumper set at the factory. Ordered the other one? Move the jumper, as shown in the installation guide. Before You Buy shows where to find your motherboard revision.

Key features

  • Up to 64 images in 16 MB of flash, about 13 MB free on a new board.
  • SWITCHER on the Amiga to pick, upload, rename and delete Kickstarts.
  • USB drive on Windows, macOS or Linux: drag in your images.
  • RESCUE button included, to recover from a Kickstart that won't boot.
  • DiagROM 1.3 ready on a new board; EmuTOS and Logica Diagnostics tested.
  • 1 MB ROMs on the Amiga 500+ and 600, experimental (Large ROMs).

Good to know

  • Images must be 512 KB. Double 256 KB Kickstart 1.x files with the Kickstart converter.
  • No Kickstart ROMs included: dump your own or buy a legal copy.
  • The Kickstart ROM must be socketed. If yours is soldered, it has to be desoldered and a socket fitted first.
  • Supported on stock Amigas only. Accelerators, memory expansions and other mods are out of scope: contact us first. Not for the Amiga 1200, 3000, 4000, CDTV or CD32.

Kit content
