[Coco] 512k coco programs

[rietveld rietveld]

I suppose any multi disk game/program would benefit from the 512k/1mb/2mb RAMDISKS to prevent physical disk swapping, but I am more interested in programs that need a minimum of 512k since multi disk swaps can be handled effectively with a SDC.

Correction.... Henry's request, Curtis's list! Sorry Curtis!

The sad thing about the FB feed, cheer-leading stays at the top and relevant useful information falls off the top fast.

Art,

Please make your specific program comments / additions to Henry's list, which is a great start, IMHO.

Everyone adds to it, the relevant information, then the list can be archived to be preserved for future use.

GREAT reference doc. Otherwise I can see the same question being asked over and over..... :)

The list seems a trifle misleading, in that many programs that absolutely
require only 128K run much better if you have 512K.  So, while the list
notes some programs that require 512K for no disk swap, there are a much
greater number of programs that can run in 128K but use 512K in other ways,
such as games allowing more levels or Extended ADOS-3 including a built-in
Ramdisk or word processors with much larger buffers under 512K.
