My A500 is a Draco!
« on: July 12, 2004, 05:49:05 PM »
Hi everyone, I was playing around with the program WhichAmiga by Piru and decided that I wanted to try it on my A500, but the results I got wasn't really what I expected :D



the system is a clean 1.3 A500 with the standard 512KB ram expansion, I also have a Action Replay MK II.

I read some WhichAmiga changelog and found out the reason why such weird results were returned by 1.3.3:

Before kickstart 2.0, "extra" memory allocated by hunk alloc wasn't zeroed by LoadSeg.

I use this extra alloc space for variables, and didn't realize the memory might not be all zeros with Kickstart 1.x. The result was that various flags and variables would be set, and this explains the quite funky random output.


Ah, I will definitely try a newer version then!
