ArtEffect 4 requirements
Can someone tell me whether or not an FPU is a mandatory requirement for this app.
Thank-you. |

Vesalia sells it and mentions no FPU:
Amiga with 68020 CPU or better, AmigaOS 3.x, 8+ MB RAM, HDD. |

Be aware that some apps expect a FPU to be present if a 68040 or 060 CPU is detected.

Indeed, the manual makes no mention of an FPU. It runs fine on an '030 without FPU. I haven't tried it on an FPU-less '060, but I'd expect it doesn't have '060-specific code or that would have been mentioned in the features.
In addition to the requirements listed above, it also needs AGA or RTG. |

Tested on WinUAE and works well with 060 no FPU

It'll run fine with no FPU (oops, bad typo CPU
 ) but the minimum 8mb RAM is really nowhere enough.

Thanks everyone. I should have realized I can use WinUAE as a test bed.

A pity this ArtEffect4 is unstable (trashes Workbench screen palette on RTG, and if you run it multiple times it corrupts mem because next app you launch will often crash...), was a very good professional program, but still required some stability patches.
