Battle Isle: 512KB or 1MB?

Supamax · 07 October 2009, 02:48

Hi,

I noticed that Battle Isle (SPS ID #0054) doesn't run on WinUAE with my 512KB A500 config.
But it runs with A500 + 512KB config.

So it would seem it requires at least 1MB to run...
However, if you look at the corresponding HOL page (http://hol.abime.net/66) and look at the box images, you'll see that it should run on 512KB machines... am I right?

There are quite a few different versions of Battle Isle if I remember correctly (from installing the whdload versions).

Maybe one of them works with 512kb.

there is no seperate 512K / 1M version, at least there is only one main executable. possible that disks with different startup-sequences exist which try to save some memory.

do you emul plain a500 without extra floppy etc. ?
