Hey guys. I've been running into the Pocket Quake 2 "z-malloc failed to load xxxx bytes" error quite a bit. I have an HP h1945 with 512mb memory card & 30-35 mb free ram, and I run PQ2 in the smallest screen size. When I have sound set to "high" and restart the game, I hear sound and the demo runs, but I get the z-malloc error only when I try to load/start a new game. If I turn the sound back to "low", quit, and start up again, I don't hear sound but everything works fine and I can start a game or load a saved game (and then go to options and turn sound to "high" quality and hear the game). If I don't set the sound quality to low before I quit, I get the z-malloc error when I try to load a game again. Turning my PDA on/off has no effect and neither do soft resets. It sounds like its a bug, but I didn't find anyone else with the same problem in the forums.
