Bigbox uses quite a bit of RAM at times, how much do you have? And you have to download videos either online or from the downloads section in the forums and there should be further instructions there to make it look beautiful.

Commodore Plus 4
Release Date: 1984
Developer: Commodore International
Manufacturer: Commodore International
Max Controllers: 2
CPU: MOS Technology 8501
Memory: 64 KB RAM, 64 KB ROM
Graphics: MOS Technology TED
Sound: MOS Technology TED
Display: 320 x 200
Media: ROM Cartridge, Cassette Tape
Overview:
The Commodore Plus/4 is a home computer released by Commodore International in 1984. The "Plus/4" name refers to the four-application ROM resident office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, database, and graphing); it was billed as "the productivity computer with software built-in". Internally, the Plus/4 shares the same basic architecture as the lower-end Commodore 16 and 116 models, and is able to use software and peripherals designed for them. However, it is not compatible with the well-established Commodore 64. While the Plus/4 had some success in Europe, it was a failure in the United States, where it was derided as the "Minus/60".

Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM. It had superior sound and graphical specifications compared to other earlier systems such as the Apple II and Atari 800, with multi-color sprites and a more advanced sound processor.
