EACA Colour Genie MAME problem

[GIKAS1]

Hey everyone!

In my constant grind to fill my collection with obscure systems I stumbled upon the EACA Colour Genie computer which can be emulated in mame... However when I try to start certain games that are considered to be playable in mame I get errors while they are loading (for example 3d haunted house if you want to try too) ... I noticed that in the mame usage instructions it states that the games I'm getting errors require 32k of ram at least... Is ram to blame here? And if yes can I increase it somehow? 

Many thanks in advance!!

Set your Default Command-Line Parameters as
cgenie -ram 32k -cass

Launch the game.
At the MEM SIZE prompt just press Return.
At the READY prompt type CLOAD and press Return.
Start the tape.
When the tape has finished playing, a new READY prompt shows. Type RUN and press Return.

You can automate things somewhat by using the parameters
cgenie -ram 32k -ab \n\nCLOAD\n -autoboot_delay 1 -cass

I tried the command you sent me and it worked perfectly! Thanks!
