Usage
¨¨¨¨¨
This module will enable you to switch the processor cache on and off at ANY
time. It has been primarily designed for use with Acorn's new StrongARM
processor in mind.
Many old software titles, in particular games, fail to load when using
StrongARM. However, many of these actually work if they can be loaded.
StrongCache enables you to switch off the cache before loading and renable
it once the program has loaded. This simple technique allows many otherwise
useless programs to work perfectly well (see tested section).
To turn the CACHE OFF : Press BOTH shift keys and F1
To turn the CACHE ON : PRess BOTH shift keys and F2
This module should NOT be used on a machine which does not recognise the
'*CACHE ON' or '*CACHE OFF' commands.
Kind Regards,
Sam Clayton, Spidersoft.
