Is there anything as Virtual Memory?
I'm short on RAM on my A1200 and would be happy if there is a virtual memory program for the Amiga.
On AmiNet there are a few virtual memory programs but I don't know which to choose or if they really are like pagefiles on PCs and so on. I know they are not as fast as RAM if any exists but I have a 4GB CF card and could surely fit a partition on maybe 64MB for Virtual RAM. It sounds like future but would be cool if such a program exists. I have to say, I have no MMU in my A1200. Regards Volt. Last edited by VoltureX; 05 December 2011 at 01:40. |

VMM on Aminet does the job, but I'm sorry to say that like all true virtual memory it needs an MMU. Get an accelerator with a '030 and stick a 64 MB stick in it.

This thread is kinda surreal for me. I was only thinking the other day of Virtual Memory for my 2MB A1200 4GB CF HD system.
Its a shame you can't emulate VM without the help of an MMU  But, it would be cool if u could use part of your HD as virtual memory on a stock A1200 using some patch/utility. What many Amiga owners want is an affordable 8MB fast ram expansion (max. 50UKP) board for their A1200. Then they can truly enjoy all the great Whdload games/demos/apps on the real hardware. Maybe its time to hold a EAB poll ? |

VoltureX you could get a1200 board if you look on fup-online.dk I dont know if the user still have it for sale, maybe try give him a email and swapfile hmm if you have enough ram on acc kort no need as I remember it was 40 MHz 1230 with 64 MB
EDIT: PM is send about it Last edited by TTD; 22 December 2011 at 20:26. Reason: Edit to the card is send with a pm on here |
