Sorry for continuing OT...

Yep Sam & Max is coming, it's what I'm working on now

Anyway back on topic.....

Cool glad you guys like this little guide. I'm not an expert or anything, just wanted to give a write-up of what I've discovered so far.

Obviously WB will always run quicker with less colours but I wanted to show that you can create a 'useable' WB in 256 colours without RTG.

Yep I've heard about SystemPatch and it's another option but I prefer to choose which patches I'm applying

PS:Have you tryed systempatch 3.3? It does a ton of speed up patches on AGA, and already includes iconbefast and blazewcp.
And FText. However, i have found that some of these patches perform a little faster than SystemPatch on 68020-68030 CPUs, according to AIBB benchmarks. Some SystemPatch routines are specially optimized for 68060, iirc, but work fine on all 020+ CPUs.

SystemPatch gives you complete control on which patches will be installed. It's important to skip the loadseg and intuition.library patches by adding -loadseg and nointuition.

Oh, me being blind/rude again, sorry
I don't have Fblit&Ftext and Iconbefast installed, might just try them, because when running 1024x768 OS 3.9 slow's down alot.

env-handler is really good on saving precious chipram and makes booting, at least for me faster!

@NovaCoder

When you go into the 'looking good' patches, why no Birdie mention? I thought this was a normal staple for 68K WB? VisualPrefs can not add the backrounds to title areas or replace the window gadgets, is that correct?

Hiya,

Yep thats right but I didn't really get on that well with Birdie so I just used VisualPrefs to change the title bars as shown in the screen grabs.

Hiya,

I can't get the screen grabber to capture my nice 1024x768 properly

Anyone at the last Victorian Amiga users group meeting got a good look at it though!

trying, problems with sgrab and .png - will try some other format ...

To the new owner, whoever you are - increase our file upload sizes / demensions so we can see 1024x768 in all its glory.
