- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs that work when inhibited from using VM:
-
- DynamiCache 1.02 (the filesystems of the cached devices have to be
- inhibited from using VM; see VMM.guide, section 8)
-
- Enforcer V37.42: Should be run before VMM (applies only to 68040).
-
- FastCache V1.1 (copyright Philip D'Ath): (see comment for PowerCache)
-
- Ghostscript
-
- GNU Emacs 18.58: Emacs does not work with VM because it limits memory
- addresses to 26 bits. This is forbidden on the Amiga and only works
- by chance. I will not change anything in VMM to support this.
-
- input.device: I'm not sure about this. I got a few unexplainable
- crashes, when input.device was allowed to use VM. It doesn't use much
- memory anyway, so it doesn't hurt to forbid VM for this.
-
- PowerCache V37.115 (copyright Michael Berg):
- It doesn't make much sense for a caching program to use VM.
- See the note about the copyback cache in VMM.guide section "Known bugs".
-
- UChess 2.89
- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs which don't work at all together with VMM:
-
-
- MungWall V37.64: Mungwall still does not crash the machine, but you
- might get some strange results, because Mungwall writes to memory it
- hasn't allocated. VMM frees its pages when FreeMem is called on a
- large memory region, so when this memory is reallocated, the patterns
- written there by Mungwall might not exist where expected. Debug your
- software without VMM running.
-
- CacheX 2.0
-
- Emplant
-
- SaferPatches 2.0 (due to a bug in SaferPatches, it forgets to flush
- the caches)
- Enforcer (applies only to 68030)
-
- TVPaint Junior 1.1
-
- Migraph OCR V1.0
-
- **************************************************************************
-
- Programs that take over the machine like games, emulators,... should
- be run without VMM.
-
- There are many programs which don't use very much memory. Those work
- most of the time, but won't be listed in this file unless explicitly
- requested.
