Hm, you should run ghostb("sd2data","")

That will convert the ppg file (Which is the actual program, the smallish ASM proggy is just the decomresser/launcher). Ok, so it will patch up sd2data, then run sd2data to play the game. The "" after the "sd2data" means ghostbuster will overwrite the ppg file. So that should slove the memory problems. Also, be sure to archive everything ;-)

Goto your memory list (2nd+mem) and see what your free ram and archive is. Also, check your system memory.

EDIT: Then post those results and we'll be able to figure it out.

EDIT 2: SD2 may be the most graphically advanced 3d game for the 89t, IMHO, it's very fun.

Graphically advanced 3D-wise. In my opinion CF and SMA are the most advanced 89 games to date. Though, SD2 is the most advanced 3D game and in fact one of only a few real 3D games for the 89.

Ah, your archive is very low. try deleing some flash-apps (you can access them in the var/link menu, then F6 (or F7, I'm not sure))

Yeah, the OS often doesn't let you archive large files when archive memory is running low even when it seems as if there were enough room. I'm not quite sure why it does that though.

To spiral: FAT engine is not full 3D. Its a raycaster and only allowes horizontal movement but you can not tilt camera. SD2 is full 3D. Though, due to proc speed limitations texture mapped polys would produce very bad framerate. So basically on the quality side FAT is the only choice to create a game (SD2 came out really nice too). The best 3D you can seen on your calc is actually produced by David Coz's Edit3D, a calc based 3D model editor. The program comes with some sample models which have as many as 400 polys and look really cool on the calc screen.
