Whdload SYS4AGA or OS3.9

toples50 · 17 May 2018, 19:28

I have an A1200(AT model)with Blizzard 1230IV and I want to have 16 or 32GB cf card with as many software as possible.Is it better to choose SYS4AGA or OS3.9 whdload cf card?
Which option is faster?Is it necessary for whdload to have on or another?

It really depends what you want.

For Whdload, anything with AmigOS 3.1 or 3.9 would be great. WhdLoad is an easy addon on any Amiga distro.

Picking your Amiga distro should be based on your hardware and what you want to do with it beyond gaming.

With your hardware I would choose between the following distros:
ClassicWB, AmigaSYS, AmikitReal and BetterWB.

Just google them and make your choice, or ask again when you find out what else do you want beyond whdload gaming.

Your best option for mainly running Whdload would be ClassicWB with AmigaOS 3.1. As already said the rest depends on what else you are wanting to do.
I have the same Blizzard 1230IV in my 1200 and I have ClassicWB ADVSP installed on it, it runs a treat and Whdload games run great on it.

SYS4AGA seems a bit slow to my Amiga. Also the interface is in High-res Laced.I'm thinking to with it to classic WB.Is it worthy 3.9 instead of 3.1 or the interface will be slower?

If you want speed and no bloat give BetterWB a go!
You can always add to the eye candy if needed etc. I think it's a good starting point for building a custom WB.

I installed 3.9 on my 1200 030/40mhz. It is nearly as fast as 3.1. Remove Amidock, it slows down the system a lot.
Iirc glowicons are a bit slow to load in drawers.

I do. But MWB icons are still faster, afair. it's been a long time i setup my wb. I started with classicwb and modified the system until i was satisfied. The standard setup was unbareable slow.

So I will find to switch from SYS4AGA to ClassicWB.

It's not that simple, there are several versions. Depending on hardware etc...

Which version is the best for 68030/50 A1200 and where can I buy a ready-solution?

As I already said in my previous post, ClassicWB ADVSP is the one I use on a A1200 with a Blizzard IV 68030/50 and it runs great.
You can't buy a ready solution, ClassicWB is free. It's not that hard to set up however, just follow the instructions.
You may find it easier to set it up using WinUAE before transferring it over to your Amiga, that's what most people end up doing.
