Make sure to use Ramithlon and SetDMA to get the best performance out of Amithlon.

Setconfig is just an aos command.
SetDMA is a tool to force DMA (increases transfer rates as well as stopping interrupts from hogging resources unnecessarily.
Ramithlon isnt worth it. Other tools do a better job.

Which ones?  I'm planning on setting up a new Amithlon box soon and I only know about Ramithlon.

I'll admit, I'm not an Amithlon expert and I've never tinkered with "Setconfig dosmount """, Ramithlon, or DMA settings. Can you guys elaborate some more?

Thanks!


Fish, yes UAE is useless for things such as OctaMED, so overkill is now the name of the game, though I'm sure I'll find plenty more to do with my  box, especially if I get Nova's ZDOOM port working in it...

I'm not sure anyone understands what ZDOOM is, no one's talking about it here, strange.


Ramithlon patches the CopyMem routines to use x86 native code instead of emulated 68k code.

I've always found it to provide a big speed increase.
