- How to patch the ReSource executable to use one bitplane for its screen
- =======================================================================
-
- ReSource, an Amiga disassembler from The Puzzle Factory is a superb product.
- However, with the introduction of version 6 the display routines were changed
- to make them more RTG-friendly. The new routines are significantly slower
- than those in version 5.
-
- The effect of this is especially bad for users with ECS machines. My
- preferred screenmode for running ReSource is Super72:High Res, 800×300. In
- four colours, this is almost unusably slow on my (accelerated) A2000.
- Changing the screen depth to 1 speeds things up greatly. Since the
- disassembled code only uses 1 colour (plus background), this is unaffected by
- the change. The only differences are cosmetic.
