OxyronPatcher 3.14 / Can not enable MMU on Blizzard 1260?!?

[a-pex]

Hello all,

I bought the OxyPatcher and got the update to the latest version 3.14.
My hardware is an Amiga 1200 / Blizzard 1260@60Mhz / 128MB Ram.

I installed everything like written in the manual. I am using the 6860Libs
package from http://phase5.a1k.org.

OxyPort is also installed correctly, but if I am starting the OxyPatcher itself, I got the
message that the MMU can be initialized. Using cpu060 the system says that I have a MMU...

Please help! I need to get Oxypatcher running before Breakpoint 2010.

If you are using a Phase5 accelerator, why dont you use the Cyberpatcher program that comes with it?
What is so special about Oxypatcher on Phase5 hardware compared to Oxypatcher on the same device?

oxypatcher is said to provide a greater speed boost than Cyberpatcher on some operations, have a look here for some comparisons:

I once read in a CUAMIGA magazine article that the best results they obtained were when they were running both Cyberpatcher AND Oxypatcher together.
I'm sure someone on here will still have that article....I threw all my amiga magazines away about 10 years ago, so I can't tell you which issue it was.

I use neither of those though, I use MuRedox - part of the MMULibs... it does a fantastic job.

What kind of turbocard are you running? I was using Cyberpatcher with my P5 MKII 060 and I've tried MuRedox but couldn't get it to work (I was left with a blank screen).

Apollo1260/66.  If you want to use MuRedox though, you'll need to install the MMULib package first.  MuRedox needs the mmu.library, and also the appropriate cpu library from the package, so you will need to apply the included patch to setpatch, so that setpatch loads the 68060.library (MMULib version) directly in the startup-sequence (no need for dummy 68040 library with this setup...the patched setpatch will detect the correct cpu, and invoke the correct cpu library from the libs: drawer).

The MMULib docs does mention problems with some phase5 hardware, to do with them not following commodore guidelines for autoconfig and hence problems.  But not sure if that applies to your 060 card.  In the docs though it says there are workarounds.  One is to use your current P5 cpu library, or the other to use MMULib library and use and edit the mmu-configuration file.

The SetPatch patch is NOT needed with the newest SetPatch in AmigaOS 3.9. It loads the 68060.library directly if a 68060 is detected.

This is true but P5Init that comes with the MMU library takes care of most of these problems.
