Unfortunately VRPC-DL only comes with one model file "Arm7 RISCOS4 (jit)"

The "model.cfg" file does have 8Mb Vram configured, but in this instance
4.39 doesn't seem to be picking that up.
Main memory is configured 128 Mbytes, and I have tried it with 256 Mbytes.

Another VRPC-DL running RISC OS 6.20 (Same Model.cfg) displays in bigger
C16M modes without trouble, so I guess it must be a RISC OS 4.39 thing.

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciated.
