Title: How to use these features?
Post by: AmigaClassicRule on March 02, 2014, 11:03:59 PM

* BlizzMagic - Since 0S 3.9 requires ROM 3.1 and I only have 3.0, I had to softkick it
* 68060 libs - The latest versions incl. Cyberpatcher
* FBlit - To speed up things and force graphics to use Fast instead of Chip (chip is now constantly around 1.7Mb!)
* SystemPatch - Made a huge performance boost for the poor AGA chipset.  Windows move/resize and text scrolling is now much faster
* Executive - Claims to improve multitasking, but I didn't notice any  extra smoothness. On the other hand I didn't notice any slow down  either, so I'll keep it running

I found someone posting above in lemonAmiga that these programs helped boost his computer speed. I want to know how do I use them in startup-sequence and what I need to enter in startup-sequence to get the boost of speed from these programs?

Thanks in advance!

I would advise to first start reading the manuals of each of them, you can not expect us to read them for you !

Also you should buy a 3.1 ROM. They're only around $18 from AmigaKit or many ebay sellers.
 
There are dozens of threads on this forum and others detailing the pros and cons of those various patches, possible incompatibilities, etc.  A little research should fix you right up.  :)

I recall removing Executive because it interfered with something, C4D rendering IIRC but we're talking about 14 years ago.  If you can find Oxypatcher it's better than Cyberpatcher but it only really matters if you use a FPU versions of software.
