Re: Mandelbrot II GS Released (need test)

Thye Chean,

I downloaded your image of Mandelbrot II and am trying to get it to
work on my ROM 01 GS. When I first copied the img file to a 3.5 disk
and inserted it in to my GS the GS didn't recognize the file format
and wanted to either format it or eject it. I used KEGSMAC to copy the
contents of the img file to a 2mg file. Then I transferred that the GS
and opened it in the desktop without a problem. I tried running it and
it crashed during a disk swap of the System disk and the disk I had
the program on. Then I copied the contents of the Mandelbrot II disk
to a Ram disk and tried that way. I got the title up and when I
clicked the mouse it just crashed, with a few symbols in the upper
left hand corner of the screen.
