Encrypted and byte-swapped Kickstart ROMs #12

Hi,

uae3DS seem to accept certain Kickstart ROMs, but just shows a black screen.

I have found that the Cloanto Kickstart 1.3 ROM file don't work - probably because it is encrypted and require the rom.key file to encrypt it. uae3DS doesn't seem to know how to use the rom.key to encrypt it, even if it is placed in the same directory.

Also, I tried my Kickstart 1.3 ROM dump, but that didn't work either. This is because the ROM image is byte swapped. Once the ROM image run through a byte swap process to correct it, then it was now a valid Kickstart 1.3 ROM image (with CRC32 of F6290043) and this worked.

Maybe the installation instructions should mention about encrypted and byte swapped ROM images?

Thank you!
