How to create a fast (but stable) OS3.9 AGA setup

[TheGoose]

Yes, thanks for this guide. I wish it were not in the forum format though. Think it could be better done as a blog or a series of blogs?. My 1024x768 screen is great but soo slow. I might need to give up some resolution to make WB work better, I like 64 colors.

EDIT - just watched the video - very cool. But you know, that 256 color is still dragging on 640x480. Do you have some cache setting running for your boot partition?

Helps a little when re-loading, or re-visiting windows.

How did you do the video, NovaCoder ? Looks good.

@NovaCoder

When you go into the 'looking good' patches, why no Birdie mention? I thought this was a normal staple for 68K WB? VisualPrefs can not add the backrounds to title areas or replace the window gadgets, is that correct?

I'm now running in 1024x768 @ 64 colours (icons in FASTRAM)...very nice

Me too, got it all working good. I don't need no stinkin birdie either...

I'll send up a shot or two tonight...

trying, problems with sgrab and .png - will try some other format ...

To the new owner, whoever you are - increase our file upload sizes / demensions so we can see 1024x768 in all its glory.

Well I'm disappointed, I'm using sgrab (I like it) and have installed a jpeg library that it wanted. So when I makes some grabs, bring them over to the laptop, they won't display. Not even in photoshop. Photoshop complains:

"unkown or invalid jpeg marker type is found"

  :furious:

Yay! had to install the boring 020 version jpeg.library to get sgrab to work. Here are the results of this thread - the Corduroy Workbench:
