BritneysPAIRS Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 setup the rom in vm.txt or vmhidef.txt that will change the virtual mem usage I have one of the roms setup it must be another version of it so copy the text from the one I had setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darknior Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just edit the file on your PC, and modify the value to respect what the emulator want It's very easy ... just long if you want to configure many games lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumanchu Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 maybe im doing something wrong cuz i still cant get itinstead of doing it in the config try just going into your settings and put the settings in vmm(virtual memory manager)just remember if you get it to load and play then once you finished playing put vmm setting back to automatic.
