SimCity 2000 is one of the games that gain lots of speed fron correctly setuped FBlit. Need to promote it to use FBlit with FBlit GUI

You haven't read manual ;) You need to promote program with FBlit preferances to use fast memory.

FBlit has a default setup with some programs that is already promoted, but with gui you can add/remove/edit them

How much you have free chip memory after boot? You should have 1900kb at least.

I used solution 2

Don't forget setup FText

It is shame that FBlit isn't developed anymore

Do you notice big difference games like SimCity 2000, Napalm, Foundation etc games that allow choose hires modes??? Screen scrollin is smooth, game feels much faster than without FBlit.

Just curious, I'ven't ever tried to promote everythin, didn't even know that it is possible.

Guide says that don't try to promote Quake/doom style games, so I'ven't tried that.

Can you do timedemo with and without fblit? Need to check that myself when I'm home again. I'm curious :)
