Sim Ant

[3583Bytes]

I am having issues running Sim Ant on my Amiga 2000 running Workbench 3.1.  It works on my A500 (1.3) but after I installed it on my A2000 it crashes shortly after the opening screen flashes for a second.

Does anyone one know if there is a compatibility issue with Sim Ant in WB 3.1?

Thanks

I think its my chip ram, I only have 512.  When I disable my wallpaper I get a bit further in the opening screen to the point where I have to press any key to continue.

I am running MUI and Class Act so I am sure those don't help either.

Very frustrating, I have 8MB or ram and I still can't run games because of Chip Ram.  I am this close of taking he KickStart 3.1 rom out of the A2000 and moving it to my A500.

Thanks I will try that.

OK so I switched Workbench to 4 colors and that seemed to free up enough memory to run Sim Ant, thanks.  

I am guessing there is no software way to switch some of the 8MB ram to Chip ram? (For other games)

Thanks

Your A2000 should support up to 1MB of chip ram on the motherboard (2MB if you get one of the 8375 "Megachip" expanders). You may have to change a jumper or two around.

Or, I forget, are you the guy who posted a while back that their motherboard was damaged and couldn't be swapped over? Or is it some rare A2000 German model?

I don't have a Megachip, are you telling me I can increase my chip ram using a jumper without one, or do I need a megachip for it to work?
