08/02/2026, 10:38 AMone thing im working on is porting VMM to AROS

I loved it, but it was highly unstable on the real AmigaOS. Maybe we can do better now.

08/04/2026, 11:40 PMShould we have an mmu.library with the same API of Thor's MuTools?

08/05/2026, 8:35 AMI must confess im not too familiar with the API used in thors MMU stuff (although I used it on AmigaOS 'back in the day') - and how tied it is to mc68000's MMU's.

08/05/2026, 8:36 AMwe do already have some MMU related functionality exposed via kernel.resource

08/05/2026, 8:41 AMAh. I don't know much about the 68030/040/060 MMU... but Claude does. Would be great to get MuForce and MuGuardianAngel running on m68k-amiga to catch memory corruption bugs earlier

08/05/2026, 8:43 AMIt may end up amiga-specific depending on how its implemented (not that I object, just for clarity) - it might not make sense for other targets. Though we need some generic way to handle this in AROS code, with the arch implementations hiding their quirks/peculiarities.
