Tried all versions, all parameters. /X2MAX32 /MAX=32767 and /MAX=65535 and /MAX=64535
HimemSX 3.52: same ill behavior
HimemX 3.34: same ill behavior
HimemX 3.34: same ill behavior
HimemX2 3.34: same ill behavior
Found a partial solution: in BIOS if I enable this strange option, everything starts to work. Installation of Death Rally no longer complains and I was able to finish whole process and even run the game.
I talk about this option: OS/2 Onboard memory > 64M: Enabled
Then it works no matter what HimemX version you use.
I don't know why is that and it is partial solution because not all motherboards have this BIOS feature. After enabling this total xms still shows 1GB, free xms shows 64MB. But the apps starts working.
Also I want to point out that newer HimemX version will not accept /MAX=64M. This will result in 64K. You must supply the value in K, for example 65535.
I'm reporting this on HimemX Github Issues, lets see what happens next.
