Birdie v1.5 (never get to work Birdie 2000!)

Why is that? Unstable? Uses PPC in a negative way?

No, I can run it and see it's superb "About" window, but it refuse to load any of the textures
I use with Birdie 1.5. :-?

I tryied all () possible configurations, started it from different places, ect... I never
succeded :-(

So return to v1.5 that works for me since several years now without problems :-)

Amigalement,

@lo :

>mmu.library? Its the only one I haven't heard of, whats it do?

R : Great tool for general AmigaOS stabilization and unifying 68020/30 (68881/2) and 040/060 MMU usage.

- Will contribute to less memory use and  fragmentation,
- comes with 68020 /030 /040 /060 very efficient and SMALL libraries, (68060.library is 100KB smaller than Phase5 / DCE ones!)
- install a new resource called "fpsp.resource" used by the v45 math libraries to speed up non implemented FPU instructions in the 040 / 060 FPUs,
- thus NO NEED for oxypatcher, Phase5 CyberPatcher, ect...  anymore,
- comes with replacement for well known (and usefull) debugging tools : enforcer, guardian angel, mmu scan, ect...
- provide standard interfaces to MMU and virtual memory handling (memory.library),
- provide a standard debug library (disassembler.library)...
- and some other goodies :-)

For more infos RTFM :-D

@ Karlos :

Did you install it by hands :-?

Normally, the provided installer makes a pretty good job.
But (rare) sometimes it can require some fine tuning ;-)

BTW can you mail me your actual startup-sequence, user-startup, wbstartup drawer contents, and versions of OS/patches you use?

Amigalement,
