Error allocating bitmap, is it due to lack of memory?

Post by Bugala »

I am using Flowerpot-AmigaOS4.1 emulation, and I keep constantly getting "Error allocating bitmap" error in different places of the program.

I am suspecting it might be because I am out of memory, is it so?

It shows 126 Mb of fastram, and so far I haven't figured out how to increase that amount from the RAM menu. I am suspecting it might be doable actually from the Expansion menu of WinUAE, but when I choose one of the options that would give 256 Mb Ram, it fails to start Emulation/AmigaOS4 at all.

Noticed all I had to do was to install Update 1 to flowerpot, and it made me over 600 Mb of memory as a standard. And yes, the Bitmap allocation error ended too, so I suppose it was memory issue as I suspected.
