Cannon Fodder (1994) (Krisalis Software)

I'm getting "Could not allocate 28MB to the current WimpSlot"

[Trapper]

Go it. Removed Aemulor from auto start.

Naaaah. Now it loads either via Boot Floppy or HDD install and !Run change and modification, but will randomly crash.

Tends to be either the loading between the intro ("War! Never been so much fun! War!......) and the graveyard which I know is the Disc 1 to 2 switch, or the loading of Mission 2 Phase 2.

What machine / OS build are you running on so I can try to reproduce the crash?

It details how to create a correctly formatted floppy in the manual on p11

The manual would appear to be a lie, there is no Format button as described

Perhaps this was copy and paste mistake from another version, maybe the Amiga version?

At a guess it's looking for a floppy with a "!Cannon.Games" folder on it.

It seems any formatted disk will do, presumably as long as it isn't one of the game disks.

Oddly enough, this game runs fine but doesnt have any audio - Ive checked, its not me! haha. Im using an A7000 with Risc OS 3.6, so nothing too exotic.

Yes, a bit odd. I'll investigate...thanks for reporting.

It will be fixed in ADFFS 2.88.

The issue is when a game installs a Channel Handler and ADFFS checks if the current task ID is running under the JIT. If not, it should let the Channel Handler install, but isn't.

It's going to be an issue with games that have internal Channel Handlers, which probably isn't many as most game scripts use the 26/32bit neutral Tracker Modules bundled with ADFFS.

The bug has been there since ADFFS 2.85
