The Delfina Plus and Lite Setup Guide

[matt3k]

This is a little setup guide I put together while trying to get my Delfina Plus working perfectly. Hours of time and frustration to come up with the perfect, at least for me, setup.

The Lite and Plus are very similar so this guide should work with the Lite just fine.

I'm very happy with the Delfina in terms of performance and quality. The sound is very beautiful and my 3000 multitasks like a champ. I don't feel any speed hit when playing music.

I'm running the Plus at the factory set 73MHz, Lite user will want to clock up to 66MHz or so for good results (I used to have a lite 15 years ago and that is what I ran it at (Wish I would have wrote down my settings back then!!!)).

This setup does fix issues with screen savers, many Delfina users have to disable their screen saver for perfect playback. I'm happy to say with my setup, the screen saver and heavy load usage of the 3000 work perfectly. I have ran a mixture of mp2's and mp3's for days and it has been 100% reliable.

I had trouble with BoingBag4, so I reinstalled to BB2.

I hope that this saves others time and that they can enjoy their Delfina right away!

Now on to the settings:
AmigaAmp (Amplifier tends to crash over time). 256 kb load buffer, play buffer 1sec - http://www.amigaamp.de/Binaries/AmigaAMP.lha
MHI - http://aminet.net/mus/play/mhimdev.lha
DelfinaMpeg Version: 1.6 http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/dmdev
Delfina.library Version 6.14 B3 Patch #2. home.t-online.de/home/indcomp/bin/delflib416b43.lha
Delfinit NOPATCH Quiet - to init the card in user-startup. http://aminet.net/util/misc/DelfInit.lha
Delfina Tweak - for Delfina Lites ONLY, Delfina Plus does not need overclocking. http://aminet.net/driver/audio/DelfTweak.lha


Here is my system:

Can you post somewhere the most important part, the delfina library? Or send me by mail?

Edit: Thanks a lot.
