X-COM: Ufo Defense. I have been (re)playing it a lot over the years but i always used the MS-DOS version (while our l0ve for Amiga is the strongest we at marrani are multiplatform retrogamers. <em>Resistence is futile! All your pixels belong to us!</em>). This time i decided to try the Amiga/AGA version which i knew to be slower compared to the MSDOS version since it&rsquo;s in 256 colors and the AGA chipset is not really known for speed, especially with an os friendly game (banging the chipset is faster, mkay?).</p>https://marrani.lol/posts/cf_card_setup/Fri, 27 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://marrani.lol/posts/cf_card_setup/<h1 id="workbench-setup-notes">Workbench Setup notes</h1> <h4 id="pfs">PFS</h4> <p><a href="https://github.com/tonioni/pfs3aio">PFS3 All-In-One</a>, the best Amiga filesystem to date.<br> <a href="https://aminet.net">Aminet</a>: <a href="http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/pfs3aio">disk/misc/pfs3aio.lha</a></p> <h4 id="hdtoolboxs-icon-settings">HDToolbox&rsquo;s Icon settings</h4> <p>Insert a new filesystem using the menu</p> <p><img src="./hdtoolbox_pfs.png" alt=""></p> <p><img src="./hdtoolbox_pfs_file.png" alt=""></p> <p>Set the right filesystem ID:</p> <pre><code>0x50465303 </code></pre> <p><img src="./hdtoolbox_pfs_settings.png" alt=""></p> <p>Setup a new partition with the right buffer size (we should have plenty of fast ram, no need to go small):</p> <ul> <li>Buffers: <code>300</code></li> </ul> <p><img src="./hdtoolbox_bootpart.png" alt=""></p> <ul> <li>MaxTransfer: <code>0x1FE00</code> (apparently only useful for for Amiga 600/1200 IDE controllers)</li> </ul> <p><img src="./hdtoolbox_maxTransfer.png" alt=""></p>
