Possible to use fastmem instead of chip?
« on: December 17, 2011, 08:40:39 AM »
I was wondering if i can make use of my fastmem to speed up os3.1.

For example if i open my games partition chipmem decreases to about 1.3mb just because i opened a drive showing all my games.

Is there a way to deligate this to fastmem instead?

Will it (if possible) speed up things ?

I only have 16mb fastmem. Is that enough?

Would shoving kickstart to fastmem instead of rom speed things up? and can it be done with my Apollo 1240?

Sorry for all the questions. LOL

I downloaded FBLIT but i dont really understand all those options.

As for the Ftext, will download it later and check it out.

Can anyone guide me on how to use it (even basic guide and ill figure it out) ?

Also id like to know what software to use to remap the kickstart to fastmem.

Cheers and thanks for all your replies :)
