Try crunchyOS.I hope I don't have to list the advantages again.
Or, the NimbusOS beta is pretty good also.
maybe CrunchyOS is a better shell....however, I dont know...please give me a list of advantages
.
CrunchyOS supports Mirage programs as well as Ion. It also supports compressed programs, which mirage, Nimbus, and Ion don't. Compressed programs are generally about half as big as the original, and there is no noticable delay when using them.
Crunchy also prevents most program crashes and errors from clearing the ram, and crashes will not corrupt the program, as they can in Mirage.(This has happened to me several times. One reason I switched to crunchy)
Additionally, Mirage unarchives programs when you use them, and rearchives them when you quit. This can cause your archive to wear out, as it can only endure a certain amount of writing. Crunchy, however, runs the programs directly from the archive, saving your archive fromwww getting worn out. This also prevents garbage collects. I can't remember the last time I had to garbage collect, and I've been using crunchyOS for a long time now.
Finally, you can actually build any asm file into the crunchyOS app with the included builder tool. This will allow you to use the extra space crunchy isn't using in the app, and saves your calc a lot of space.
Oh, it also lets you compress levels for any games that use levels with a level packer Crunchy comes with.
It feels like I've written this crunchyOS advantages thing 20 times now. Instead of asking me to write it again, couldn't people just look around the forum? I've posted this all over the place.
