You initialized ppc.library although you said above that you don't
use the ppc.library emulation? Makes not much sense...

I think you have ppclibemu installed. If it were the original li-
brary, you would have bigger problems. ;)

Better use PPCInstall. LoadLib will not increase the OpenCnt of
the library, so it might get removed from memory on the next memo-
ry flush.

Sorry... I looked into my history file for the most recent version,
but 0.8f was not yet released. :)

Get the 0.8e from my home page (this is the first version which
supports Voyager's VFlash plugin).

I don't know what's best for BPPC owners, but I have the following:

Terminator = 1
EnAlignExc = 1
NoPatch = 1
SegInfo = 64
