My Amiga is installed with AmigaOS 3.5 (and the BoingBag¹ :-))
Here are the patches run in my startup-sequence:
- RemAPollo (used to install AmigaOS 3.5 ROM Update and some patches)
- KingCON (installed into the ROM by RemAPollo !)
- PatchControl (mainly for MCP, but not only)
- NoBypass (fixes a 68060 bug)
- StackAttack (increases stacks size)
- MCPAssigns (loads all assigns at one time)
- Picasso96
- FullPalette (to set and lock some colours on the WB)
- WBCtrl (controls some aspects of WB 3.5)
- MCP (several usefull patches)
- MUIWheelPatch (gives wheel support to some old mui classes)
- BlocNotes (a simple script that displays a CON: window with my notes)
- OutlineFont (draws icons names with an outline instead of a background rectangle)
I recently removed VisualPrefs
because I discovered that it was creating graphic deadlocks when redrawing windows
sometimes (usually when the system was heavily loaded, during internet sessions..).
I'd like to check if it works better with a patch such as SafeGIRPort (if it has any
relation with the problem..?), but for now I simply removed it.
I have also installed Enforcer and PatchWork permanently in my startup-sequence.
This is usefull to detect non system-friendly software..
Stuff run from WBStartup:
- Altabber (to swap between windows using the keyboard)
- AppISizer (computes size of files and drawers)
- DefIcons44 (gives icons to iconless files according to their type)
- FreeWheel (wheel mouse events + adjust mouse speed + click to front)
- GlobalTrash (the best trashcan in the galaxy)
- MagicMenu (menu under the mouse; prevents deadlocks too)
- Matrix (my screen blanker !)
- PowerSnap (cut & paste from/to almost anywhere)
- RexxMast :) (I couldn't live without ARexx anymore)
- ToolsDaemon (adds menus to WB for fast and easy access to your tools)
I don't use Delifix anymore because it appears not to be very system friendly
(a stack problem I think, I don't remember well).
I also removed AHelp
because current version 1.5 makes enforcer hits at boot time.
2000.10.04 : I removed bitime (displays "swatch internet time" and
sets summer/winter time) too because it crashes (enforcer hit) and screws
the time up when it changes from summer to winter time (which it apparently does
one month too early).
Other patches/enhancements:
- mathieeedoubbas.pch by Thomas Richter (fixes a comparison bug)
- ttf.library
(to use TrueType fonts -Verdana is great for the WEB !)
- SmartFileSystem
(SFS) 1.84 by
John Hendrikx (faster and more reliable than the standard FastFileSystem)
