x51 ram less than 32mb's

dk1 · 09-24-06, 10:19 PM

Okay so here's what I've done. Hard reset, then reinstalled all my apps to s CF card, used a free up memory program (hibernate), then soft reset and I still can't get near the ram I need to run certain programs. I can never get higher than 32mb of ram! What am I doing wrong? There has to be away to free up more ram on the x51v. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm afraid that's the most you're going to get. The OS takes about 32mb of the x51v's 64mb RAM.

Which program(s) need more than 32MB?

Some games do.

Tony Hawk's Pro Scater 2 needs around 20. Quake 3 needs a ton too.

Any part of the OS I can get rid of, already chucked Odesy Client. I'm trying to play roms that are 32mb's.

Uh... an x51v has 192MB of available ROM storage (storage RAM) and 32-34MB maximum of RAM storage (program RAM). You can't just 'chuck' Oddysey from it - although you can keep it from loading if you remove the startup link in the "Startup" folder, but that doesn't free up any space.
