Just curious, is it the same in a Win 9x DOS-box? *NT*

: : I am unable to resolve this problem. I continually receive : : "Page Fault" error whenever I try to run a large game under : : MAME (this was true under .37b5 and still is under .37b6). : : The machine originally had 64MB of PC100 RAM; I upgraded it : : to 128MB and it has the exact same problem. : : This happens directly from the command line, without a : : front-end (although it happens there too). i.e., "MAME MK3" : : or "MAME KOF98" results in a PAGE FAULT after loading some : : of the ROMs, accompanied by a "Serious HD error" dialog. I : : have to hit the RESET button at that point, and SCANDISK usually : : finds 3-4MB of "unallocated clusters", and on occasion it has had : : to replace the FAT with another copy elsewhere on the drive! : : The machine in question is a P3 450 which had the drive : : freshly formatted and Win98se ("Compact" option) installed. : : I then edited MSDOS.SYS so that BootGUI was 0 so I start : : up in DOS. : : My CONFIG.SYS loads EMM386.SYS, HIMEM.SYS, CTMOUSE.SYS, and : : CDROM.SYS. My AUTOEXEC.BAT loads MSCDEX and sets up : : the SoundBlaster 16 (ISA) card stuff. It also sets TMP : : and TEMP environment variables. Running "MEM" shows plenty : : of free memory (around 614K low) available. : : Most importantly, I *am* using CWSDPMI release 4, so that : : is not the problem. The Page Fault's occured with release 4 : : with both 64MB and 128MB of RAM. : : Can anybody successfully run KOF98 or MK3 under "pure DOS" : : (not via MAME32)? If so, what do your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT : : files look like? Are you using any special memory managers : : or anything else out of the ordinary?
