Is there a way to get Arkanoid to run "normally", that is, to run without having to restart and disable all inits, put macsbug somewhere else, etc? Arkanoid and Apache Strike (and I hear the Dark Castle pair does the same thing) complain about "high bytes" being used. Since I updgraded to 2.5 Meg (Mac Plus), you'd figure they could get whatever amount of memory they need. Does this have to do with the alternate sound/screen buffers? Is there an easier way to get these babies to run? (Is there a way to keep Macsbug from loading on startup?)

I can only get it to run by booting from its diskette.

Just today I found out how to get Arknoids running on my hard drive of my SE without having to boot from a floppy. I removed all my inits/cdevs and of course it would run. Then put them back one at a time till I found that only one of the many I have seemed to conflict, that was Backdrop!. With Backdrop removed I now can run Arknoids from my SE's hard drive. None of my other inits or CDEV's seemed to conflict with it. Don't know if this will help but if you have Backdrop in your System folder try removing it alone and see if you can boot from your hard drive without conflict.
