ah, blizkick... must read the info to remember how to use it....

I am sure BlizKick is not the only way, but it was the first one I thought of.

Blizkick author "Piru" is always available over at Amiga.org if you need him

That's a strange address. 64Kbytes before the end of chip RAM!

Maybe be a bug in SysInfo caused because you have MAPROM enabled? Anyone explain this?

OS3.9's SetPatch loads the ROM Update modules to a RAM location that has the MEMF_KICK flag set. If i'am not mistaken the Blizzard 1230's Fast RAM hasn't that flag set, that l leaves only Chip RAM for ROM Update. exec.library is included in the update and is than in Chip RAM. SysInfo reads execbase's pointers that point to that location. The same happens with my Apollo 1230 and gives a huge slowdown in every day use, less in SysInfo.
You should consider using BlizKick, it can load RomUpdate to Fast RAM and also has a module to move the VB.

So I need to setup BlizKick to load the BB39-2 updates ... thanks for the info all!

I think I got it OK this time...
I use CPUSet on s-s and BlizKick (thanks alexh

and musashi5150 on the VBR stuff)

so, what do you think now?

@TheCorfiot

it was a closed beta, still has some probs, it even freezes under certain circumstances... you must ask Bloodwych for it

Does anyone else a get large variations in Sysinfo with a Blizzard?

Sometimes I run it and get ~9400, other times ~8800 or ~8500... closing it down and running it 1min later seems to toggle the score between one of those three.

After reading through this thread I re-set jumper settings to Ramspeed and got my Dhrystones up to 9489 and Mips is now 9.90

Its nice to search through these older thread and fine some useful information.

Great Stuff

Djay · 29 January 2011, 22:28

This relates to my "advice of installing SIMM thread"... The above info I went from 8.5k to 9.5k dhrystones and 8.8 to 9.9 MIPS!

Cool and thanks
