Title: Why a large memory requirement for HD/Falcon games Post by Heavy Stylus on 04.12.07 at 11:25:10
Not that I mind with my 4MB STE, but a friend was asking why games like 'Escape...Robot Monsters' require 4MB of RAM to run from HD. I didn't have a proper answer (other than the fact that the game is depacted into RAM?), and was wondering if one of you DBug guys could explain how the whole HD/Falcon patching system works?
I assume (probably wrongly) that the data is uncompressed and loaded into RAM, and then the Atari requires yet more RAM to actually run the game... |
