For you, the ppc.library is in the ROM of the Blizzard accelerator, and not a physical file on your hard disk.

Add this patch to your startup-sequence to remove the redundant ppc.library from memory on startup:

Remember to check the readme.

Alternatively, use the BPPCFix module from Piru's excellent BlizKick package; you can also add other useful patches to your Kickstart in this way.

PowerUP ppc.library should be considered legacy and dropped in favour of the more modern WarpOS.

If there's something that you *really* need to run that was designed to run on PowerUP, check out the WarpOS-compatible PowerUP emulation library by the same author of BPPCFix.

Technically speaking there is nothing more "modern" in WarpOS compared to PowerUP...


Thanks. :) Yes, I was at least partially aware of WarpOS being poorly designed and so on, but I just said the above for simplicity's sake, for the guy who's new to all the PPC stuff.

@Piru, again:

Just out of curiosity, am I right in thinking that the MorphOS implementation of WarpOS compatibility is more stable/reliable/better designed than WarpOS on OS3.x?
