WHDLoad and kickstart versions

A quote from the WHDLoad docs:

The Amiga Forever Kickstart ROMs are encrypted, they usually require a file called rom.key in the same folder as the ROMs, however I doubt that WHDLoad will even recognise this!

Heeding the advice from the WHDLoad docs i copied over the rom.key from the Amiga Forever CD and copied the files "kick130.rom / amiga-os-130.rom", and "kick310.rom / amiga-os-310.rom" which i renamed "kick34005.A500", and "kick40068.A4000" as instructed.

This has resulted in getting most of my WHDLoad games (ie, Deluxe Galaga, Better Dead Than Alien) to work.

However i still have a lot of games (ie. Pinball Fantasies), looking for a kick40068.A1200 kickstart. Although the Amiga Forever CD has an A1200 kickstart it's not compatible with WHDLoad.

Where can i get a WHDLoad compatible kick40068.A1200 file? I believe my possession of the file would be legal, since i bought the Amiga Forever CD. Please PM me with download location or for my email address to send it to me.

Hello,
I have the same trouble.. I purchased Amiga forever 2012 edition to get the roms I needed... This specific one seems to not work. I OWN the actual 3.1 roms but they are not installed and I do not wish to put them in my machine.. Just want the image so I can play games like Pinball Fantasy etc. Can someone help me out with ROM image to get this thing going?
