Octopus doesn't mind my PPC - and why should it dislike it?

Surely that all depends upon what you want to do. There are some things
that STILL don't work with PPCLibEmu and thus you HAVE to use PowerUp for
them. In fact, I have nothing (yet ;) that requires me to run WarpOS.

You need the latest powerpc.library in libs: along with the emulation
ppc.library. I think (like I said, I haven't got WOS, and anyway I'm
running on an A4000 ;) you will also have to make sure you have the 040 +
060 libraries (and dummy's) in libs: too. I vaguely remember hearing that
even with an 040 it's best to keep the 060 library in libs: too ....
Hope this helps,
Kev
