Wine and Windows 95/98 Suggestion for the devs

Post by Bladeforce »

Would it be feasible to add an option to limit the amount of memory Wine see to <512mb when selecting Win95/Win98 modes? I understand WINE is all for developing as close to the original as possible but wouldn't this make it a bit closer too as both these OS's saw 512mb as the limit? I have a few program that install fine but refuse to run as they are getting lost when they see GB's of memory

Thanks :)

There's a longstanding enhancement request for that, http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19494.

The bug only has one app linked to it; if you know of more apps that are affected and have AppDB entries, please add a link to that bug to their AppDB entries.
