This is a small Windows script and instructions for Linux to help extract Wings! Amiga disks and the Kickstart 1.2 firmware from the GOG release.

Requirements

To have 7-Zip installed.

Windows Instructions

1. If 7-Zip's install path isn't set in the enviroment paths, open the command prompt and run the command set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\ (change C:\Program Files\7-Zip\ to where you installed 7-Zip, if you didn't install it in the default folder)
2. Download extractwings's latest build
3. Unzip extractwings somewhere you can find
4. Install Wings!
5. Find the Wings.exe, typically in "C:\GOG Games\Wings! Classic"
6. Drag and drop it over the extractwings.bat file
7. You should now have three new files, wings-1.adf, wings-2.adf and Kick12.rom. The .adf files are your ROM, and Kick12.rom is the firmware file.

Linux Instructions

For Linux, things are simpler. Just run the commands below:

7z e -tzip -aos Wings.exe romwings.bin -r
7z e -tzip -aos Wings.exe Kick12.rom -r
dd if=romwings.bin of=wings-1.adf bs=1 skip=4 count=901120
dd if=romwings.bin of=wings-2.adf bs=1 skip=901124 count=901120

Get Wings.exe by installing Wings! using Wine, or extract the setup file using innoextract

I found the disks using a hexeditor and asking questions on irc for the purpouse of another project I had a couple of years ago https://github.com/sigboe/pie-galaxy Someone asked me for a Windows friendly method

Windows binaries for dd and the dependencies libiconv2.dll and libintl3.dll redistributed from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/ and are legal to distribute under the GPLv3+ lisence as long as I point at the source. libinconv and libintl3 are LGPL.

The Kickstart 1.2 firmware was found by @Auster-South-Anemoi
