: How much physical ram do you have?
: King of Fighters 98 is about 88MB unzipped. Mame is about 9MB unzipped (yes it is compressed). Then Mame still needs ram so it can run and still more ram for simulating the arcade games ram. So you will need at least 128MB of real ram (not virtual memory).
OK!! But thesame problem I Have also with 128 MB ram EDO....and 64 Mb for RollingThunder2 I think Is enought.....What can be the problem?!?!
