How to use a newer 68040.library on a BPPC?

[x56h34]

You are basically doing everything wrong.

The 68040.library needs to be placed in your SYS:LIBS folder, and that's it. There is no built-in library in the flashrom of your PPC card, other than ppc.library PowerUP kernel, for which you need to use BPPCFix module of BlizKick, if you'd like to disable it so that you could use WarpUP kernel.

For 68k stuff, simply place your wanted 68040.library revision into SYS:LIBS and you are all set.

@AmigaMance:

I've never heard of that before. AFAIK, every 68k 040+ accelerator loads the 68k libraries from SYS:LIBS, and not internally.

BlizKick guide indeed mentions built-in 68k libraries and using BPPCFix040 if you want to disable them, however I've never had to use anything at all in order for the SYS:LIBS libraries to take effect. Basically, what ever I've dumped into SYS:LIBS folder would take priority.

Strange. :-?

Works also well here with a Mediator/Voodoo. I never understood why people without G-Rex were scared of flashing the latest versions. They just added a menu for G-Rex, not that they dumped Mediator-support or anything like that.

Probably because Bvision support is out and Grex support (the PCI menu and cyberpci.library) is in. If you want to use Bvision you have to go for a pre-Grex firmware. I also remember that older Mediator drivers would not tolerate the built-in cyberpci.library very well, and I'd get crashes, particulary as soon as pci.library kicks in. This doesn't seem to happen anymore with the latest Mediator drivers though.

Nonsense. GREX flashupdate works just fine with BVision (I used it for years, thought I did use CGX4, maybe it doesn't work with older CGX?).

Really? It never worked for me. Interesting. Must have been a configuration problem then. I'll give it a try sometime in the future just to satisfy my curiosity. :-)
