in Working with GS (Mac)
hey i have been working with GS for ages but im soo stumped atm

i made a game works great for ipad 2 and 3...but ipad 1 it crashes before it loads a level. it will load menu n story fine but soon as it loads level 1 it crashes......any ideas?

is there to much on the stage? i have 4 songs in the game randomly play etc.

odd how new ipads run it fine. the 3 diffrent ipad 1's i tried all have diffrent ios's. from 4.0 to the new one.

    1) From what I can see your stage doesn't look too busy. :)
    2) Yes, your stage looks worryingly busy, far too many actors. 8-X

    New iPads have more powerful processors than earlier models.

    Try stripping your project down to its basics to isolate the issue.

    Dump various elements one at a time until you find the one element that crashes the earlier iPads - also try stripping all the audio and images out of your project and seeing if the iPad1's accept and run that ok.

    Not as far as I'm aware, there should be no problem with having a lot of music in a game (as long as it's not all playing to once).
