Hello, is it possible in DOSBox to emulate a EGA adapter with 64K or 128K video memory instead of the full 256K? TIA.

640x350 4 colors (selected from possible 16 colors palette) , that what QBasic help file tell me about EGA 64K.

While its probably existed somewhere, I never encountered any games that uses that kind of EGA mode.
For 640x350 its usually 16 colors (from possible 64 colors palette) that i knew of.

I'm trying to emulate a Amstrad PC1640 ECD, which IIRC had EGA video, but with less than 256K video ram (I think 64K?)

PCem also covers the PC1640 model, but I'm not sure if this is helpful for you.
