Project Petunia (AmigaOS4 JIT emulator) pages updated and extended with a FAQ.
Project Petunia pages (the emulator, that will be used in AmigaOS4) updated and extended with a FAQ.
After a long period of checking forums, chatboards and answering e-mails I decided to add a FAQ part into the project page. I hope I can clean up all the important questions arising in you. If something is not clear enough feel free to write a mail.

Project Petunia FAQ : Comment 66 of 68 | ANN.lu |

Complete nonsense.

No it does not. Still complete nonsense. MEMF_KICK is not like this.

The memory must be added to system global MemList before non-RTF_COLDSTART
residents are initialized. This way the memory will get MEMF_KICK set
automagically.
There is no special handling of MEMF_KICK memory.
> Kickstart 1.3 is just 0.5 megs,
Wrong. pre-2.0 were 256K.
> Kickstart 2.0 is just 0.5 megs unpatched
2.0-3.1 are 512K, right.
> Well an unpatched exec.library it's smaller then the Kickstart it self,
> the kickstart contains many library's and devices that the system use to

Right. exec.library (+alert hook) is less than 14k. |
