PearPC fails to load memory

Post by kkek »

I am currently running PearPC on a Pentium4 3.00GHz machine with 1 GB of RAM. When I delete the memory setting from the config.ppc file, PPC loads, and runs normally. When I try to increase the amount of RAM from the config.ppc file, PPC crashes before presenting the choice of where to boot from (CD or HD). The line I am using to specify the alloted RAM is:

Code: Select all

memory_size = 0x20000000
I can post the rest of my config file if needed. Thanks in advance!

Try setting it to 256 (half that). I think this is some weird error with windows swaps.

Ive tried 256, 512, and even 1GB... no luck... any other ideas as to why it wont let me change (btw, my system has a pagefile of 1500MB, so i dont think thats the problem either)
