The RAM used by software running under PocketDOS is technically emulated using your PDAs RAM - you should have enough - old games rarely required much more than a Meg or two.

The VGA emulation is interesting. It is possible that there's some issue with the plug-in that mean the game you're trying to run isn't detecting the VGA emulation - although that would be very strange. Unless it's looking for SVGA - in which case you're borked as PocketDos doesn't support it.

As the other poster states, give DosBox a try. It's not very user friendly but often delivers results where PocketDOS fails.

I'd also suggest swinging by the PocketDOS support forum and posting an enquiry there. The software's developers are very good at responding to queries.

Mark.
