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.

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...

Just to let the interested ones know that icon.library has been updated to 46.4.175, and of course, it fixes between other things that infamous iconification bug.

It is available on Aminet, and it is of course part of the updated BoingBag 4 version 0.7e, which is available at the usual places.

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:

BoingBag 4 version 0.8m
=======================

Icon library updated to 46.4.195 Which now features better support for PNG icons.


New components:

-XAD client for 7-Zip archives that enables UnArc to extract 7-Zip archives.

-XAD client for compressed executables like powerpacker, imploder, etc., and enables Unarc to decrunch them.

-Xfdmaster library and decrunchers that support the xad_xfd client.

-LZMA xfdmaster slave/pluggin for better xad_xfd client support.



You can download it from:

http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/bbag4.htm


and very soon also on:

http://amigan.emu.net/releases/

Nice, does the new icon.library properly display OS 4.x icons? I say this because of dual boot users on classic amigas that have OS 4.0 (and soon 4.1) and OS 3.9 on the same machine.

Yes, OS4 icons look great. Of course, dont pretend them to be gorgeous with just 16 colors!

OK, I must be doing something terribly wrong, but for each install of BB3 and BB4 the text it asks me to add to the beginning of startup-sequence botches everything.

I fixed the botch in BB3 (had to add execute bits to LoadModule)

Now with this one it is telling me that there is no SYS:C/FailAt which is true.

If I comment out all of the stuff asked for in the BB4 script I get a proper boot.

Can someone show what exactly is supposed to be at the beginning of the startup-sequence?  Also, if FailAt and LoadResident are missing, where should I grab them?

Hmmm....well since I'm using a graphics card with 16-bit or 24-bit depth cannot the OS4 icons be displayed with more colours?  Or would this require more than just an icon.library update?

The lines of contention are (currently I have them commented out):

SYS:C/ FailAt 21
SYS:C/LoadResident >NIL DEVS:card.resource
SYS:C/LoadResident >NIL DEVS:misc.resource
SYS:C/LoadResident >NIL DEVS:trackdisk.device
SYS:C/LoadResident >NIL L:ramlib
SYS:C/FailAt 20

If I boot with these uncommented the error reads "FailAt: unknown command"
If I comment that line out it says "LoadResident: unknown command"

Try just "FailAt 21" without the quotes.

Yes, of course, you will have more colours. It requires icon.library 46.4.204 and two other libraries (zlib.library and pngalpha.library), all present in the new BB4 0.8n.
