problem is that you just have to guess WHY the game crashed - it does not tell you "hey you are stealing blocks B000-CFFF" 😉

But If I were you I'd try UIDE first, having a large disk cache provides a serious speed boost. Here is an example: REM /D: = CD device driver REM /H = Load to HMA REM /F = Use large (fast) cache blocks REM /Sn = n MB cache REM /Rn = Use memory above n MB 1?DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\BIN\UIDE.SYS /D: …

Hi, it is possible to control the volume levels of the GUS using commmand line parameters? The mixer.exe utility is quite ugly and annoying 😀

Too much RAM for some games?

Hi, I'm having trouble running some games on my K6, like Crusader: No Remorse and Ultima 8. Seems to be related to its memory, 512 are just too much. Are there any feasable solutions? Eexcept for going down from 512 to 64MB...
