Even though a lot of the games do now work in mode 12, there are still 3 common error messages.
1. bad file name `Net:%logon??
2. cannot move memory
3. Module xyz not found
In the case of one game, Talisman (which for some strange reason my son has taken to), the first and third (module s1 not found) errors are displayed. Now I seem to remember from years ago that Talisman was not RISC OS3 compatible. Would this incompatibility just be the module not found error message?
Are there any commands that I can use to move the memory to the required level?
A word of warning to anyone else who wants get some old acorn games going on VA, Terramex (a silly game anyway) will cause a complete crash. VA will not run afterwards, it needs to be reinstalled.
It sounds like the games you are running are not RISC OS 3 compatible, I downloaded a copy of Terramex from Acorn Arcade some time ago and that works fine on VA5000. Check the game boxes to see what versions of RISC OS they are designed for (note that your copy of Terramex may even be an Arthur game).
