CPU Blit Assist is an example program, including source code, which shows a way to combine the CPU and the Blitter to gain extra performance on the A1200 (and other Amiga's with 32 bit chip memory and at least a 68020 processor).

Download: CPU_Blit_Assist.lha
Download: CPU_Blit_Assist.zip
Readme: CPU_Blit_Assist.readme
The example is written in MC68020 assembly and contains full source code and all files used to make the program. It is designed to run on an unexpanded Amiga 1200, performance may be change when using an accelerator or emulator.
*) Any emulator or Amiga computer 100% compatible with the AGA chipset. Untested under Amiga OS versions beyond 3.1, MorphOs or other clones. Not tested on 68040+ processors, nor CPU replacements such as the PiStorm or Vampire.
- Any AGA Amiga or emulator
- Kickstart 3.0 or higher
