- 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!
