ECS Software Requirements
« on: May 04, 2010, 06:04:02 PM »
I currently have an amiga 500 with a ecs agnus and a 512 k ram expansion. In order to run ecs software do I need to do the hardware mod to make 1 mb of chip ram? Or will it run anyway?
Once there was a man and a boy in the woods.
 
Boy: I\'m scared...
 
Man: Hah! What have you got to be afraid of? I\'m the one that\'s going to be coming back alone!

If the software you want to run requires 1 meg chip ram then you do, if it doesn't then you don't.

NO.

Didn't you exhaust this question already?

ECS can also mean non-AGA Amiga. So an Amiga 500/1000/2000/3000. Next time you ask this question say, "Help I need more chip memory."
