Reset proof modules need reset proof memory. Some A1200 accelerators do not provide reset proof memory and so chip ram has to be used for reset proof modules.

As stated before SetPatch can be forced to use fast ram by the AVOIDMEMFKICKFORPATCHES option. Don't know if similar options exist for other programs.

You should avoid to use reset proof modules: remove the LoadModule entry and delete the Devs:AmigaOS ROM Update file.

The other solution would be a patch which flags all fast mem as memf_kick (if it is reset proof but not flagged correctly). Don't know if such patch exists and don't know either if your fast mem is reset proof.

I'd bet my memory is reset-proof, as it always retains information after a reset (f.ex., when I need to force the system to re-install the memory updates, I need to explicitly tell SetPatch to do it with KILLUPDATES).


You observed that your reset-proof modules go into chip memory and now you argue that your fast mem is proof because your modules (in chip mem) survive a reset ? Funny.
