Lightbulb BetterWB - release 2.0
BetterWB release 2.0 - 20.05.2011

BetterWB is a new workbench pack, much like AIAB, Amikit, AmigaSYS, ClassicWB, etc. but applying a totally different aproach. This is a new version which brings many improvements over its ancestor.

It aims to be much like an enhancement, an updated extension to AmigaOS 3.1, without all those hardware requirement penalties tipically associated with these kind of packs. It is indeed a better 3.1 than 3.1 itself!

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

This is my pet project, it took me a total of 4 days to assemble. Just voice your opinion, I will be glad to hear your comments, either good or bad.

Thanks

Can you install on top of an older release Gully? Just overwrite stuff.

Yes you can, and it should work, unless you have somehow modified your startup-sequence since version 1.x.

@Zero
I am glad you are enjoying it

My suggestion would be for an OS3.9 version.

Otherwise, you should include http://aminet.net/game/patch/SetJoyPort.lha or similar, to work around known bugs in that version of lowlevel.library.

Hi James, it is a indeed a good suggestion. Thanks.

I was also thinking on a kind of BetterWB for 3.9 that could include all BoingBags + some BetterWB goodies + some other neat stuff, distributed in an .adf floppy image manner. Just imagine installing 3.9 and then using this set of floppies to automatically have everything updated with some neat added goodies without any user intervention.

Whenever I get a bit more time, I will play with this concept.

Should the unofficial Boing Bags 3 & 4 be used with this, or are they already included within this betterWB release?

Edit: AFAIR, Boing Bag 3, I installed over AmigaOS3.9, so I guess this is something different just for OS3.1.

This is something different, only for 3.1.

I will start working on something related for 3.9 in the future.

@stefcep2
I am sorry but the Amiga user who hosts my website is performing a server change.
Hopefully this wont take much longer.

Meanwhile, use this

Hi - my A1200 is still WB 3.0. Will "Better--" work on 3.0?

Thanks.
