AW: D500 memory problem on startup

Hi,

I had to fight that problem twice during the past few months.
Two steps that helped in my case were ... I deferred some
initial resource loading for one frame and I just split my
big fat game class (this was a port from some other plattform
so it wasn't at all designed with classes in mind) into
several smaller ones resulting in .class files of only
around 40kb - I started with an almost 200kb .class (obfuscated).

The interesting point is that I didn't even separate anything
but split it just into a inheritance chain like:

Original:
class Game : extends Canvas ...

Split:
class Game1 extends Canvas
class Game2 extends Game1
class Game3 extends Game2
class Game extends Game3

Kind of a pain due to all the scope problems but this was
the only way I managed to get it to work.

What's interesting is that I know other games with .class files
of ~135kb working perfectly on that device.

Best regards,
Michael
