About RunShit
RunShit is a very small program that is used the same way as RunBack, Run
etc (but doesn't work the same way ;). The new thing about it is that it
turns off AGA and thereby makes some badly written programs (demos mainly)
work on your 1200, 3000 or 4000. It also resets spriteresolution/width
which some other Run'ners I've seen don't. It also has options for turning
cache on/off if the demo won't run with your system settings.
Installing RunShit
I suggest you put it somewhere in your path because it's easier to use it
then.
System requirements
You need at least KS2.0 ... That's it.
RunShit has been successfully tested on
A1200 2 meg chip/4 meg fast/881/HD
A3000 2 meg chip/2 meg 16bit fast/2 meg 32 bit fast/HD
Using RunShit
You can only specify one argument: the commandline to execute. The
template is "RunShit COMMAND/A,ICACHE/K,IBURST/K,DCACHE/K,DBURST/K,
COPYBACK/K,SCREENMODE/K". If you want COMMAND to contain redirection and
options you'd better put it in double quotes (").
Now you can also use RunShit from Workbench! Replace (or create) the
demo's icon with the icon you got with this package ("RunShitDemo.info").
On the commandline and in the icon's tooltypes you can specify these
options:
ICACHE=ON|OFF Instruction cache on/off
DCACHE=ON|OFF Data cache on/off
IBURST=ON|OFF Instruction burst on/off
DBURST=ON|OFF Data burst on/off
COPYBACK=ON|OFF Copyback on/off
SCREENMODE=PAL|NTSC just what it says...
The default setting is not to touch anything! So if you want the demo to
use the systems cache settings, don't specify anything or only specify the
ones you want to change. Of course the system settings will be restored
after running the demo.
Future versions
Clean up the source!!!
ZEROVBR option. (If you know how to do this in a systemfriendly way,
mail me!)
Nice GUI!

lame! Fixed now...
