This was the key.  With 14MB it works also with old UAE core.


That or other of the options you listed here didn't help with
Running shareware version though.

But it seems to run OK if I run it from the desktop, not
with autorun...

Same thing with 4knocrew.prg.

-> I updated the compatibility list notes.


Autostarting makes testing some things much faster as I can automate
running everything.  I wonder what difference there is in that for
these programs and are there any other programs that suffer from
the same problem...
