Title: WHDLoad problem with A1200
Post by: bradhansen1 on March 30, 2019, 02:34:08 AM

Hi All, I am trying to load a number of WHDLoad games from my stock A1200.
Everyone of them gives me the error message "Can't allocate ExpMem."
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?  Would be much appreciated.

You tried WHDLoad games which needs fastmem.
You could try to set in the icon properties(tooltypes) with this symbols () around Preload and you can have more games to start.
But you see when loading Games black flashes.

The best way to play WHDLoad games you need buy a memory expansion or an accelerator card. For most games is 4 MB of Fast RAM enough.
Remember when buying a memory expansion with more memory than 4 MB, you can't use the PCMCIA port. There are a few accelerator cards which also has this issue.

The best accelerator cards Blizzard, ACA GVP and Microbotics.
