FEMU is no longer needed with core 2.11. We have a hardware FPU. It was software emulator way back.

Its included in SAGA drivers or core archive when applicable.

Yes, I'm aware of it. I'd like to try it in Gold 3 alpha - this core does not have any FPU.

I know, but I've read that .080 is necessary for the Vampire. Does .040 work?

No, all 040 code works fine ;-)
080 AMMX versions are most welcome, but since only VASM supports it, you cant expect it always. As well as this version of Femu should work on 040EC/LC too.

However, FEMu emulated FPU isnt neither fast or precise as 2.11+ implemented one, even less V4 expected implementation. Take it as FPU software enabler and temporary fun.
