Is It Recommended To Install MMULib?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hello

I was going to install the 680x0 libraries from the MMULib package. But instead i just installed the whole lot (that suits my configuration obviously). Is this recommended or will i face incompatibility problems with the MMU? I still have backup of yesterdays Workbench without MMULib installed just in case.

Regard,

It's supposed to be very useful. Personally I'm not using it since every time I tried it, my system seemed to brainfart. I accept that this was 99% likely to be my fault for not reading the manual properly ;-)

Hi CU_AMIGA,

to be honest, i've installed in the past the full MMU archive at least 10 times and then removed.

ATM i have only the mmu.library (without its MMU-Configuration ) and the P5 libs.

Oh btw . . .remember now that i've installed it, for its debugging tools.

MMULib was developed as a standart for usage of the Memory Management Units, and was updated often, until the author's Amiga 4000 broke and now he is developing 8bit Atari emulator for Windows. The only software that requires it of which I am aware is ASp - the Sinclair Emulator, but the package comes with some utilities which may come handy. For coders the MUForce utilities is great (it's an enforcer replacement) and it saved me lots of headaches when debuging - it prevents system crashes as well.

On balance I reckon an Amiga with an MMU works better with it, and with the patches it provides, than without, but if you have an obscure accelerator with special CPU libraries it's possible that Thor's mmu library might clash. However if you run emulators and/or use a Commodore CPU or a Phase 5 or Apollo 68K accelerator, it's probably going to make your system more stable and more capable.

The author of ASp recommended me to use the MMU (with configuration), and the 680x0 libraries with MULib. What i might do is, go back to my previous backup, and reinstall MULib. But this time, only install the libraries that i really need.
