- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs that work when inhibited from using VM:
-
- CycleToMenu
-
- DynamiCache 1.02 (the filesystems of the cached devices have to be
- inhibited from using VM; see VMM.guide, section 8)
-
- Distant Suns 5.0
- Enforcer V37.42: Should be run before VMM (applies only to 68040).
- If you are using the ReadMMUConfig program see its
- docs about Enforcer implications.
-
- FastCache V1.1 (copyright Philip D'Ath): (see comment for PowerCache)
- FracBlank
-
- GNU Emacs 18.58: Emacs does not work with VM because it limits memory
- addresses to 26 bits. This is forbidden on the Amiga and only works
- by chance. I will not change anything in VMM to support this.
-
- input.device: I'm not sure about this. I got a few unexplainable
- crashes, when input.device was allowed to use VM. It doesn't use much
- memory anyway, so it doesn't hurt to forbid VM for this.
-
- Magic File Requester 2.0d
-
- MCP
-
- PowerCache V37.115 (copyright Michael Berg):
- It doesn't make much sense for a caching program to use VM.
- See the note about the copyback cache in VMM.guide section "Known bugs".
-
- PFS: PFS seems to have problems with VMM. I haven't been able to
- track them down, but it seems that as long as you don't use a page
- file on a PFS partition disabling the PFS filesystem task from using
- virtual memory makes the two work together. Unfortunately it does not
- seem to be possible to put the paging file on a pFS partition.
-
- ReqServer
-
- UChess 2.89
-
- Video Toaster 3.1 (NOTE: Also must run VMM with default set to N N).
-
- xData: When xData is started before VMM, all xpk libraries have to be
- disabled from code paging. I don't know why this has to be done, but
- doing it this way will cure the problem.
-
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs which don't work at all together with VMM:
-
-
- MungWall V37.64: Mungwall causes one task in VMM to loop endlessly
- because Mungwall patches FreeMem so it frees memory
- with Forbid () set. VMM tries to circumvent problems
- with a broken Forbid when freeing virtual memory by
- deferring the actual free operation until the forbid
- is over. If you need Mungwall to debug your software
- you have to turn off VMM.
-
- CacheX 2.0
-
- CPU This program seems to cause problems if it is used to
- map the ROM into Fast RAM. Use another tool like SetCPU.
-
- Emplant
-
- ForceNewLook 1.3
-
- SaferPatches 2.0 (due to a bug in SaferPatches, it forgets to flush
- the caches)
- Enforcer (applies only to 68030)
-
- TVPaint Junior 1.1
-
- Migraph OCR V1.0
-
- Verte V1.78a
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs that take over the machine like games, emulators,... should
- be run without VMM.
-
- There are many programs which don't use very much memory. Those work
- most of the time, but won't be listed in this file unless explicitly
- requested.
