If you want to run stunt car extreme make sure you have more than the default memory. I can't run the game because of it.

My 512MB CF and 256MB SD cards are already on the table yelling for stuff to be installed on them. But why didn't you install the game in ROM, there's a lot of free space there? That should leave enough RAM to run the game.

Please stop sending me messages, I will not illegally distribute the software.

Edit: the post I reacted to got deleted, maybe some of this is relevant anyway.

X-Forge games have a massive license fee. There is a per year cost to the system and a per platform fee. I think its $30,000 I know somone suggested quake license at $10,000 were much cheaper.

You would be bankrupting the developers by doing this. Dell wouldn't care.

I know piracy happens, the guy selling the DVD has a good chance of getting shot by other thieves looking for territory.

Sure people steal, but don't pretend it somehow doesn't matter. Paying for a game really does make more games. If you want to be a thief logically you should demand everyone else pays for software and quietly continue to ponce.

Good point, I might try to return the Atari software and get the Game Pakc I wanted anyway!

Just call/e-mail/chat with Dell CS about it. Since it was their screw-up, they'll likely just ship you the CD for free. Heck, they might even let you keep the Atari stuff just so they don't have to mess with shipping it back to them. :p

And you can pass some of the time downloading the free trial version of the puzzle game, as I just saw on PocketGamer. Don't have my Axim X50v yet so I don't know what is in the demo.

You can't buy it even if you wanted to.
