If you have the hardware necessary to run Blizkick...give that a go with the exec.44 beta.

The Blizkick guide goes into great details how to apply patches etc. and the exec.44 beta gives details too.

I have to admit that on my Blizzard 1230mvIV A1200...running a patched Blizkick rom with the exec.44 beta does "feel" faster than the exec.v45.7 from Boing-Bag 2 ...and on an AGA only graphics system, the options that i have used, means i get over 1.8MB of ChipRAM free after booting, and running a 128 colour workbench feels quite snappy too...

Stability is not a problem either...I haven't experienced a crash in over a week of testing...

Its worth an hour of your time setting the program up, if you have the hardware to take advantage of it...

AFAIK, it is written wholly in Assembler, by the same author that wrote BlizKick.

Although it is beta...i have not had any problems with it. I have used a variety of WHDLoad games, the 3 Amiga web-browsers, Miami, various Vapor products, ImageFX and ADPro, Directory Opus Magellan 5.82...and with no problems.

This is running on a straight A1200, AGA, Blizzard 1230Mk.IV with 32MB RAM, and a 4xEIDE'99 IDE adapter. No other hardware hacks. The only software "hacks" are FBlit, WBCtrl and SysPatch 2.2...these would be redundant if you were running an RTG display...

It works for me...but as i said...it is easy to revert back to your previous system, and un-install Blizkick/execv44...it may be worth a try...
