The only piece of commercial software I can think of that requires an FPU is Clickboom's Quake port.

I think there are probably quite a few AGA demos that require one.


yes...quake is the unique amiga game that requires fpu...that's why is so slow
also duke nukem 3d requires fpu but is for mac anyways if you run the game under emulation via shapeshifter you need fpu

also
 
-some ppl posted incorreclty that some apps required FPU and that's not true
-mp3 player do not requires fpu....all mp3 players uses mpega library and there is a integer version and fpu version......of course the faster version is the integer used to play and the fpu version is for precision


and yes...there are not commercial software that requires FPU
anyways I can guarantee that the program Simplemail requires FPU...don't ask me why the author did that mistake
