Total Posts: 1 | How can I install a new OS on my calculator so that there is no more data on it except for essential OS data? I'm trying to install DukeNukem68k and it needs a lot of memory
How can I install files (like the game files from Duke Nukem 68k) onto my ROM so that I have more RAM left over to play game?
Sometimes when installing programs I get the message that the files I'm copying over is already on the calculator. This is because there are two files named sayd file1.xy and file1.yz and it thinks their the same thing or somthing.
Any help is very welcome, I love this site !!! :) |

anyway, try to reset ALL of your memory (if needed take out batteries and the lithium backup batter too). also, be careful as to what kernel/shell you install. some shells use TSR and take up extra memory. anyway, i used to run Duke on my HW2 89 AMS 2.05 w/t any memory problems. like i said, you may just need to reset your memory.
oh, make sure you archive your games. you can do that in var-link menu and then F1 tab to get file options (i think archive is option 8 there).
btw, thanks for the comment :).

Make sure after you send it you archive it (2nd and minus, make sure programs have astericks)
the file1.89z and file.89y are NECESSARY, one is for launching some .ppg stuff, and the other one contains all the data. Alternatively, you could install TICT-Explorer, and then you only need the .89z file. |
