Re: [MiNT] strange memory violation

No, you got it wrong (and a mod player should be for sure not a kernel 
module). The kernel is the interface to the hardware and so you should 
avoid accessing the hardware and use the kernel services instead. The 
kernel services are for example timer services or audio output services 
(and memory resource services, file system services and a lot more).

Btw. as FreeMiNT (like every system) is not perfect there is for sure room 
for improvement (also not all hardware features are as kernel services 
available).

Frank
