Long shot but any chance the disk images could be released for those like me with less RAM or no hard disk?

The improved version released seems to need more RAM than the original?

I haven't found a way to get it to run so far on my 2MB A3000, maybe I've just not configured it correctly?

It should run in 2MB. When I get a chance I'll double check.

Are you getting an error? The only requirement off to top of my head is 160KB of screen memory.

Regards the original, I'm not sure we have rights to that version, otherwise I would have published it at the same time.

Using the awesome Arculator v2.0 here's what I get with a RISCOS 2 A3000 with 2 MB of RAM

(not sure why the icon is messed-up under RISCOS 2?

I held down * to avoid booting the desktop, but that didn't help

Not to worry, it was a long shot and I suspected that'd be the case.

Thanks Jon, but that simply shifts when that Error is displayed from when !Wolf32 is opened to when it's clicked in the icon bar:

Thanks Jon, that change gets me to a new error:

I couldn't see any obvious cache options or any mention of msync? (sorry I'm a n00b)

Without looking at the source code I can't be certain but it's probably a generic error. It's possible it can't allocate enough memory, have you tried increasing the min value?

Having now looked at the source, the only way that error can occur is if its trying to run in MODE 49. Have you gone into the Choices on the Icon Bar app and switched it to MODE 13? You might also want to select the Low memory option.

The error itself is misleading, it should be saying "VGA mode isn't available". I'll need to dig around in the code to find out what its original intention was and correct it.
