Description

Hi,

Whenever I play a game that uses shapeshifter. It gives me an error saying "The Macintosh screen cannot be created. Either there is not enough graphics memory available, or the selected graphics mode is not displayable on your Amiga." I've tried to use the Amiga CD 32 ROM but still gives me that error. I'm not sure if this is an Android version issue or a core issue. But is there any way I can play games that use Shapeshifter on my Snapdragon 888 phone?

Thanks.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Shapeshifter graphics error on the Android Snapdragon 888 device, then determine whether it comes from the Android build or the UAE core and inspect the relevant graphics-mode and memory path. Done means identifying the cause and enabling affected games to start, or documenting a confirmed platform limitation.
