I put in a new hard drive and got one of those Compact Flash PCMCIA cards. My problems are when I try and run a game from Whdload on my hard drive. I keep getting Dos Error #103 not enough memory!!! I have 10 meg in my machine so why am i unable ti run games this way. Even Monkey Island 2 wont run yet when I had this installed the proper way on my old hard drive it would work. Any help is appreciated. thanks Back to top PredsedaSite AdminJoined: 16 Jul 2004Age: 38Posts: 5196Location: Prague, heart of Europe Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:43 pm Post subject: The problem could be with your turboboard. What type do you have? Some of them, especially M-Tecs, collide with PCMCIA port and if you plug smtg into it, you are not able to use more than 4MB of your FAST memory. But still, 4MB should be enough. I think it is this type of conflict._________________ <- click here! Our Amiga game!!

Hi, I've dusted off my old Amiga 600 http://forum.classicamiga.com/forum/showthread.php/5171-Do-I-need-more-memory-to-run-Whdload-on-A600 and bought a 4G card off ebay with a load of games on. Some work and some don't, I get the following errors quite a lot. DOS-Error #103 (not enough memory available) on loading "game" DOS-Error #103 (not enough memory available) on loading overlay "Resload" Can't allocate ExpMem Do I simply need to buy some more memory and will that allow more games to load? Can anyone recommend or suggest what type of memory I need to buy and where to get it from please? Thanks. K-Rod.

Yes, it is exactly what you are thinking. WHDLoad needs at least 4MB total system ram to work properly on the A600. This would be in the form of 2MB chip ram and at least 2MB fast ram. What do you have at the moment? The A600 comes with 1MB chip ram built in, and you can add another 1MB chip ram in the trapdoor expansion bay under the A600. If you need a trapdoor expansion you could search on ebay and amibay.c
to add relevant information regarding the use of these configurations. Posted by DMK at 2015-04-29 13:17:15:Yeh, working now I have the 3.0 Floppy indexed. Cheers!Posted by FrodeSolheim at 2015-03-12 http://oagd.net/amiga/epic/discuss 22:10:50:@DMK @thevoice it works for me as well. But do you get a warning about missing SetPatch when starting the game? If so, this can explain why the game fails (some games http://www.amibay.com/archive/index.php/t-61439.html seem to require SetPatch, or they will fail with errors about insufficient memory). If you get the warning, try to make sure you have indexed a Workbench 3.0 floppy so FS-UAE Launcher dos error can find the SetPatch it needs.Posted by thevoice at 2015-02-20 13:33:44:hi, i just tried out the same whdload slave v1.3 with fs-uae launcher 2.5.27 latest dev version and with whdload 18.0 registered. for me the game starts like it should and i was able to select and finish the first mission without any problem. well after i fiddled out for like 30 minutes dos error 103 wtf i have to do there . actually amga dos error 103. indicates you dont have enough free ram to start the game. a qucik check on my configuration which is the same as in the database 2mb chipmen , 8mb zorro 2 fastmem and amiga model 1200 it should work.Posted by DMK at 2015-02-17 19:31:23:WHDload v1.3 - 1819 crashes for me when I start a mission.

have an A1200 with the standard 1MB and i just found out that i can't play most of the games on Whdload due to memory limitations (DOS-Error #103) So i was looking to expand my memory to 8MB, from what i've read that seems enough to play all the games on Whdload. If any of you have any of these to sell please talk to me. I can pay by Paypal. Thanks! Pedro sputnik21st May 2014, 19:37Just a thought, but the ACA1220 is very good value even when new pedro_jorge21st May 2014, 20:19Hi Sputnik thanks for your answer. That one has 128MB right? Is it hard to install? It's just plug and play and that's it? I'm sorry but i'm a total newb on this... pedro_jorge21st May 2014, 21:48Hi, I did some more research and it seems pretty straightforward to install. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i was totally lost. Cheers mate. portarinos22nd May 2014, 02:20In case you are interested,i have a 4ΜΒ M-TEC with RTC & FPU that i would happy to let go since my new A600 with ACA620 is on the way to me. Let me know if you are interested but i can assure you that for WHDLOAD purposes and Classic WB it's more than enough and the 1200 is really useable. demolition22nd May 2014, 09:38Notice that if you install an 8MB expansion, you would most likely not be able to use the PCMCIA port since the memory would be overlapping with PCMCIA memory. The ACA1220 works well with PCMCIA since all its memory is located outside 24 bit space. 4MB expansions work fine with PCMCIA and some 8MB models can also be reconfigured for 4MB to make them compatible. voyager_1701e22nd May 2014, 10:52In case you are interested,i have a 4ΜΒ M-TEC with RTC & FPU that i would happy to let go since my new A600 with ACA620 is on the way to me.
