QEMU video ram

Post by Con_79 »

I'm running QEMU on a host Windows 10 machine and emulating an OS 10.4.11 system and would like to run (Adobe Creative Suite 3) CS3 on the emulated environment. CS3 requires a minimum video RAM of 64MB, but the current QEMU VGA is limited to 16MB. Is there any way to increase this amount to 64MB or more?

Thanks-

Hi,

Perhaps
-display sdl ^
-device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 ^

Will do the trick?

Best,

Yep, that works! thanks!!

64MB works but if I push it up 128MB OS 10 crashes. What would cause the crash from happening?
