OS3.9 tweaking suggestions ?

[cha05e90]

and I believe there's people out there using it on "real" '040 based machines).

AfA_OS is more or less unusable on my 25 MHz 030 and still too demanding on my 40 MHz 040 (both RTG, CGX4/P96). To be truthfull I used AfA_OS only for testing purposes and found it has to many "side effects". Stability is more important than eye candy. Be aware of the fact that there is stuff that runs flawless in UAE (or maybe Amithlon) but is prone to crash a real Amiga. Due to the fact that more and more stuff is developed under UAE I have not too much hope for stable updates and software for my real classic Amigas.

AfA_OS never had and side effects on both my old Mediator/P96 setup or now BVision/CGX setup. Worked like a charm ever since with no problem at all!
It surely requires an 060 to function as intended and responsive using Anti-aliased fonts and PNG icons across Workbench.
Tools like WarpDT that speed up a lot (systems with PPC) due to fast rendering of Backdrops etc, and HSMathLibs are a perfect example of nice and effective Tweaking of 3.9.

So the best solution is: MMULibs+Muredox (instead of OXY or CyberPatcher)+MathLibs?

BTW: WarpDT are very fast on 060 too, not only on PPC.

I think so, been using it here for many years and really like it. There's certainly nothing wrong with the Phase5 software, and of course you can run the HSMathLibs along with that, too. I just prefer using one related set of tools for as much as possible.

My idea of a patched 3.9/060 system -

Added or replaced in ROM (as modules, burned/blizkicked ROM image, etc):

exec_44.1
tlsfmem
console.device_44.10
ram_handler_44.24
shell_45.27
mathffp.library (from the HSMathLibs package)
mathieeesingbas.library (from the HSMathLibs package)
mumove4k
ChkInts
PowerWindows_BKPatch
NoClick
FixGetMsg
SpeedyIDE (use on your A1200 if IDEFix doesn't work with your CF card)
Romfixes

Most this stuff is available in the BlizKick and Remus archives, and I imagine some on Gulliver's site as well.
 
Ran from startup-sequence:

mumove4k (if not already in rom)
mufastzero (forgot to mention, this also remaps exec and expansion.library, if run with the above)
mufastrom
cmq060
taglife
env-handler

Additionally with non-RTG systems:

FBlit (needs careful configuration)
FScreen (only fun for periodic tinkering)
FText
BlazeWCP

Other miscellaneous bits:

AutoUpdateWB
WarpDT
PowerWindowsNG
IconBeFast
PowerIcons

Probably forgot a lot, but that about covers everything major.

Try launching wipeout2097, Heretic (WOS), Heretic II, TrackerHeroAGA or other progs (dont' remember all) with AfA, here they refuse to work/works oddly. AfA definitely has its bugs but the author Bernd is probably fixing them. ATM i have disabled AfA until some of these bugs are removed.
