Fblit. yay
« on: April 04, 2011, 06:25:17 PM »
so I had set up Fblit... I thought.. and was curious why people talk about it so much, when there was no gain whatsoever in performance.
 
Then last night I realized I had put it wrong in the startup-sequence. Strangely, it didn't bug out, but now that its corrected, its visibly snappier. Good good stuff :)

It is huge performance increase. After that you get smooth screen scrollin in hires modes, games like Napalm and Simcity2000 feels like different games.

I've never tried Fscreen (didn't know it existed) but do like fblit and ftext.  Just having a few problems which I've mentioned elsewhere.

With Fblit you can use wbctrl to store icons into fastram. It helped free up a lot of my chip ram when I had lots of dawers open

I get the best speed when I use Blazewcp, Newwpa and Speedychip.

Instead of wbctrl you can try IconBeFast or if you are feeling brave PeterK's new icon.library.

I think I tried iconbefast. It caused graphical corruptions on all the icons (as mentioned elsewhere going to try and fix that next time I have an amiga session)

I just tried to find fscreen on aminet but can only find blit and text

fscreen can be a bit crash prone. but it's a nice speedup when it works.

ftext is like fblit but for fonts. Basically makes fonts load up faster.

something easy to add in the startup-sequence?
 
Any incompatibilities with 3.5? (trying to be forward thinking here) :)
 
 
Thanks!

put ftext on the next line after fblit.

Should have no compatibility issues. I didn't have any on 3.5 and now on 3.9 and still don't
