Posts: 3868 		Recently I had an urge to play Cannon Fodder, which I hadn't played since I switched from an A5000 to a Risc Pc. But it won't work; instead it tells me it can't find enough memory. Is there a patch to fix this or some way round it? Also, are there any other games which would be affected by a (Arm 3, RO 3.7) Risc Pc?

Posts: 15100 		I know the copy I have works; it's from AU CD10, the games one.

I'll have a look to see if I can work out what they've done...

In !Run line <can$dir>.initmem has been commented out, presumably to stop the memory error.

Also in !Run it RMEnsure's CallASWI, and the file !Cannon.Loader calls OS_SyncrhoniseCodeAreas; presumably this is a SA-only fix.

If you want I could email the changed files to you, but you may find the proper fix on the web somewhere.

You're right, the problem was simply the initmem line, that sorted it an now it plays fine... well, almost fine. It did crash once, but that could be down to any number of things... thanks for the help anyway.
