@Jacques:
I just remembered, that the "exec.library"-update of OS 3.9 BoingBag 2 does automatically reserve the low-mem. I have no clue if this feature has any benefits on the Amiga-side as well, or if it is just a bonus-feature for Mac-emu-users in order to avoid an additional reset at coldstart. I haven't been using Mac-emulation for a couple of years now, but as far as I remember, the low-mem-reservation of BB2-exec.library does not work with Fusion (perhaps they have only tested it with ShapeShifter?), but as far as I remember the program "FixPATCHMAC.lha" on Aminet will fix this problem. Of course it should be wise to avoid any double-patching, i.e. if you want to use the low-mem-reservation of BB2-exec.library then do not use rsrvwarm/rsrvcold/rsrvkick. Alternatively you could disable the "exec.library"-update in your Startup-Sequence (this update can also cause incompatibilities with some Amiga-software, e.g. the game "Cedric"). In that case, just use rsrvwarm/rsrvcold/rsrvkick as normal. |

It is not only that exec library, it is pretty much any exec library from v44 onwards which keeps the lowest 32K non-allocated. On the Amiga side, this has no benefits, but MacOs requires the lowest 32K for its "globals" (yes,it has 32K globals compared to AmigaOs, which has only 4 bytes of globals).
There is in that sense no patching needed, just emulators need to be smart enough to "take the memory". For ShapeShifter, a special "value" has to be "deposited" somewhere in that 32K area to tell the emulator that it is free to use it, and that is pretty much all MuMove4K does in such a situation. For Fusion, I do not know what Jim requires, but a reboot is, from a purely technical point, not required. |

A reboot is technically required because I install a kicktag and some other things that are required for a real Mac to run. Remember, FUSION is not "an Amiga program".. it is code that gives you a real Mac that just so happens to allow the Amiga to run in the background. It takes precedence over anything and everything and it's *requirements* (like using RsrvMem or RsrvKick, certain MMU setups, etc.) are not optional. There are a SLEW of problems that you will experience if RsrvMem or RsrvKick is not used. This was very evident when the Vampire tried to reserve the lower 4K of memory (which is all that the Mac needs - not 32K).

Hi Everyone-
I came across this thread. I have an emplant and looking for FUSION. Is there anyway to purchase the old version (3.2)? I just visited CMBStuff but only FUSION 4 coming soon is listed. Super excited to try this- I just got my A2000 up and running again and having loads of fun with the old tech. Thanks! |

There is no way currently to purchase the older FUSION. I might add that to the website while the work of FUSION 4 continues.

Are you going to release the updated Fusion 4 any time soon? I'll be happy to pay you for it.

Lol, I'm still waiting for a Blizzard PPC version of iFusion, which I backed back in the day. I don't think it'll ever happened, but might be a chance to get the coaster... I mean CD out of the loft and see if it'll work on WinUAE with a Cyberstorm PPC.
To be fair I understand there was a problem getting the code for it to happen. I've just spotted a thread about iFusion, could be interesting if I can get something working: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=79642&page=3 I don't think any other Amiga Mac Emulator/Virtualiser does OS 9.x? |

What? FusionPPC was available, i have the orginal disk in original case at home and i think there even is the original receipt inside (got it second hand). Frankly i can't remember if it worked or not with my BPPC as i haven't used it for more than 15 years, but it does exist.
Now, what i would like is a version of Fusion working with PiStorm. Shapeshifter is out of the game for now as it is really slow on PiStorm and it is unlikely to be fixed soon. |
