This info is so wrong it's funny. One there are MANY diffrent G-Force
combo board types. the 50Mhz 030's and some of the older ones DO have
MMU's. also the 68EC030 in no way SIMULATES a MMU. GVP does have a way to
map the rom image into 32 bit mem, at the time this was one of the only
things a MMU on an amiga did, other than inforcer. now VM, and Emplant
are things that need a MMU.
There is no way to "fool" it, because it is not there in any way.
