WinUAE: RAM limit on OS3

AMIGASYSTEM · 30 October 2018, 10:39

Toni I noticed that if I exceed 256 MB of Ram when I run demanding Games WinUAE goes in Crash, no problem with 256 RAM instead

Really not enough information. (Also there is no 256M limit).

Ok Toni Thanks, probably the limit is given by my Win7 32Bit that can not take advantage of the 4GB of RAM available in the PC

I attach Config, log, dmp, sxcreenshot:

Yeah, 512M Z3 RAM (includes RTG RAM) is usually usable max if 32-bit Windows.

Thank you toni, in fact on AFA-OS + Picasso IV the 512 MB di RAM they work well.

Speaking of Picasso, there remained a little doubt, for a correct OS3 installation on WinUAE you need to install the Drivers? I say this because "Picasso96Install" does not recommend installing them, see screenshot

It most likely was made long time ago before emulated boards existed.

Strange the installer belongs to Picasso96 2.1e updated on 01-NOV-2014.

Add another strangeness, if the "Picasso96-2_1.e.zip" archive is unpacked on Windows side, during the installation that message does not appear and the installer shows check only the Picasso in use.

Unpacked "Picasso96-2_1.e.zip" side Amiga OS, the installer instead all the video cards are check

The installation script was created in 1999
