Nothing to do!!!
MAME on Dos can not run well with roms little too big!!!
I try with 64 MB , with 128 MB with CWSDPMI release 2-3-4 , I try to reconfigure the Config.sys and the autoexec.bat files , I try to activate /desactivate SMART opt. ....and every thing with every combinations...but every time the same...PAGE FAULT ERRORS....or HD ERRORS...or TILT!!!
I resolve a little the problem to use a old release of CWSDPMI (with 3 or 4 is TILT 100%)
and I must Insert on the CONFIG.SYS this lines:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EMM386.EXE RAM
BUFFERS=12,0
FILES=20
DOS=UMB
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0
DEVICEHIGH /L:1,18112 =C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1)
Country=039,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
[common]
DEVICEHIGH /L:1,33760 =C:\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000
If I change something...like the buffers or another..is again "page" fault!!!
But if I change nothing I can Running KOF98
METALSLUG2 ecc...BUT with a NEW problem...the HD
still work always during the game...like he like more memory and the CPU use the HD for virtual-memory.....this is for every game little big...
like many of the NEOGEO or ROLLING THUNDER 2
ecc......the problem is that the games are MORE SLOWING!!!!
I NEVER FOUND ONE RIGHT ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM!!!
Possible that with 128 MB the CPU he need the Virtual memory of the HD ????? and this ONLY on pure DOS ?????
