Nope. '-S' does not disable MP. It only allows Supervisor code (like FreeMiNT kernel) access your application's memory space (like an interrupt handler). Everything else works, incl. memory violation detection.

Okay, I'm obviously wrong. Sorry.
I'm not sure that I understand the reasoning anyways, why have memory protection if it doesn't protect the most important bits that can damage the machine, hardware registers?

A giant loophole like this with just a file flag that can really be devastating to the machine. For example, start a file copy, and then comes a bad YM-driver on an interrupt, shuts off the IDE with YM-register 7 in the middle of it all, I don't have to tell how bad that can be if it's busy updating FAT or other important FS sectors.


In the end, I can't recommend doing this, especially to SNDH players if you want to feel "safe". Who knows, there might still be SNDH files in there that pokes the YM register 7 in a bad way.
