Huzzah for classicWB
« on: January 04, 2012, 07:39:13 PM »
After running 3.9 for a while and never really being happy with how pokey it is (plus it looks wretched without a graphics card) I installed Classic WB for 3.1 and it's amazing. Barely recognizable and everything just works nice and smooth.

I understood that the 3.9 version doesn't include scalos is that correct?

Getting 3.9 set up was a bit of a nightmare for me, so Im a little gunshy to delve back into it, but once I have a spare CF card, I might try it again :)

Thats the only issue with the 3.x versions. You need to have a installed and working version of WB 3.5 or 3.9 in order to install the classicwb pack. Bit of fiddling around but worth it in the long run.

And as far as I know it doesn't come with scalos. But I might be wrong. To be fair I have not played with everything in it.


I kinda liked 3.9 but without a graphics card it was ugly and pokey. The CLassicWB versions might fix that of course.

But breaking my system every time I installed a BB, and the annoying "double boot" was not good times.

But we wouldn't be amiga users if we weren't perpetually screwing around and breaking things, right? :)
