ANYthing requiring an FPU?!?!I tried going several 68k files on my dualie only to find that it somehow, an i quote, my system "does not have all the requirements for this software" and other similar things, mainly pointing to that i either need a 68k or an FPU. What is up with this? i thought that 68k code would work on PPC's, through emulation. Grrrrrr, any help? ~The Penguin | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy |
There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.

Funny, I thought that the 68k emulator did work with FPU instructions...
Try installing SoftFPU into your Classic extensions folder, that can help with 68k programs wanting a 'real' FPU, not a PPC one.~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

Ill be sure to both share the software on the server as well as providing screen shots of the funny errors.~The Penguin | Captain, Intelligence Operations / Space Cowboy |
