Amiga TUDE: The Ultimate Degrader & Enhancer. Unlock the Full Potential of Your Amiga 1200 & 4000
 
Are you struggling to run classic OCS/ECS games on your AGA machine? Meet TUDE (The Ultimate Degrader & Enhancer), the most flexible and powerful utility disk ever designed to bridge the gap between Amiga generations. Created by N.O.M.A.D, TUDE is more than just a "Relokick" alternative—it is a comprehensive system toolkit that ensures 99% compatibility with legacy software while offering unique "enhancement" features to push your hardware further.
 
Many older titles can struggle to work on the A1200 becoming "stubborn," suffering from corrupted screens, illegal instruction errors, or timing issues. TUDE solves this by allowing you to precisely "degrade" your system's specifications to mimic an Amiga 500, or "enhance" it by unlocking hidden OS potential.
 
Key Features
🕹️ The Ultimate Degrader
Kickstart Kickdown: Temporarily downgrade your machine to Kickstart 1.3 for maximum compatibility with early titles.
Chipset Control: Force your AGA hardware into OCS (Original Chip Set) or ECS (Enhanced Chip Set) modes to fix graphical glitches.
Memory Management: Configure Chip and Fast RAM settings on the fly. Disable Fast RAM entirely for those picky games that only want 512k/1MB of Chip RAM.
CPU & Cache Control: Disable 68020/030/040 caches or instruction sets that cause older 68000-based software to crash.
PAL/NTSC Switching: Easily toggle between video standards to play imported software at the correct speed and screen height.
 
🚀 The Ultimate Enhancer
Blitter Speedup: Utilise "CPU-Blit" features to assist the hardware blitter, making your graphics operations and window redraws feel snappier.
Cache Optimization: Re-enable system caches and burst modes that are sometimes disabled by default to give your workbench a performance boost.
Fake Fast Memory: Create a virtual Fast RAM environment to help memory-hungry applications run on entry-level systems.
 
Simple to Use
GUI Version: A user-friendly, mouse-driven interface for those who want to point-and-click their way to compatibility.
CLI Version: A powerful command-line tool that can be added to your Startup-Sequence or custom scripts for automated "one-click" game loading.
