problem loading ZDoomZ - error

[alexeix]

Hi,

I've just installed ZdoomZ on my Palm T3, but I'm getting the following error: "cannot sys_alloc 9437184 Bytes". When I tap the message, a free RAM message is displayed...tap it again and the message "adding DOOM1.WAD" appears.
The application then appears to hang.

What I did...

I downloaded Doom from the FTP site mentioned in the 'newb' thread, installed it on my PC, then added Doom1.wad to /Palm/Programs/ZDoomZ/ on my SD card.
I also added zdoomz.zdk to that directory.

I have the sound files (Timidity), but haven't installed them yet, as I didn't think they were essential.

My Palm has 16.9MB free and my SD card 68.6MB.

The first time I tried to fir up ZDoomz, I got as far as the opening screen with the credits, cover picture, etc., but it wouldn't let me into the application.
I can no longer even get that far though.

Any suggestions? I've probably missed something...

Thanks.

Are you sure you switched off music in the options? Also, try the latest (1.5) from www.metaviewsoft.de. It might run better on a T3 (it does like a charm on mine :-)

Thanks for the response.

Sound is definitely off.

By clicking the right hand side of the screen (in landscape mode), I can now get into the game front page, with the menu options, but I can't 'click' on any options with my stylus, i.e. 'new game', 'quit game', etc.

To exit, I have to do a soft re-set.

Anyone seen this problem before?

OS landscape mode? Isn't supported. Switch your device into portrait and select landscape in the options, if you want to have landscape.

Hi there,

My PDA is in portrait mode when I fire up the application, but when I try to launch the doom1.wad, it switches to landscape.

I'm selecting from the IWAD list. The PWAD list is not active.

Did you check your PDA for memory resident apps Like antivirus or hacks??? If so, try disabling them...

Alexeix: ok, if wantan's idea doesn't help, please tell us again, which version of ZDoomZ do you use? What are your settings in Options? How is the screen orientation before you press "Launch"?

also try UDMH

UDMH? Not on a T3 with 19MB free. The T3 has plenty of dynamic memory.
