AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag #4

Hi:
Only one question: Which chip ram do you get with BB4 in an A1200 and if possible compared to chip ram with BB2?

[Retrofan]

Hi again:
This are the results in an A1200 upgrading from BB2 to BB4 (I've just done it):
 
BB2 Chip Ram: 1.416Kb (69%)
BB3 Chip Ram: 1.135 (55%)
BB4 Chip Ram: 1.170 (57%)
 
Ok, you get 2% more from BB3 to BB4, but tell me, Why must I loose 12% from BB2 to BB4? Where's my benefit?
Ok, I'm only looking one thing, but, do I gain or loose?

[Retrofan]

Well, I've just tried env-handler, installed it on C and disabled the commands it says and the chip ram is the same (in fact, I loose some kbs).
 
" They give you lots of benefits, including very large harddisk support, fixed ram disk space, faster and better behaved scsi.device, etc."
 
In fact, I'm upgrading with a Transcend 32Gb CF and an internal Cd that I had working flawlessly using Smart File System and a cracked Idefix under BB2. I don't wanna be the pessimist here, it must be the benefits are in things I've never had problems before, like that ram disk space... But where I can start to have problems is in any Game or program needing enough chip ram.

That's impressive and a much need solution - thank you.
Hope to see more of these smart "all in one" problem solvers.

"graphics.library 40.25b8
Lots of fixes, optimizations and enhancements. You are now able to
remove forever these patches:
* AmyWarp
* BlazeWCP
* CPUBlit
* FBlit
* FText
* IconBeFast
* SetPatch 44.38 (R_WriteChunkyPixel and R_WritePixelLine8
patches).
They are now built in."

Ah, I understand... I've already installed Fblit, Ftext, IconBeFast, SetPatch, and I believe that BlazeWCP too, plus anothers, and perhaps that's why I only loose instead of gain Chip ram? But where I loose it is in BB3, that's why I didn't update. However I will keep this BB4 to try it...

[Retrofan]

And for all of you that don't want to loose chipram, this are my new results:
 
I've just installed CyberbugFixAGA and my chip ram with 64 colors and BB4 now is: 1443 Kb (71%).
 
What's that?:

So... my chipram is better than ever:roflmao:
