reservememory error

[ikkejw]

Hello guys,
I'm trying to run Stunts on my 25MHz 386 with 4MB RAM (running FreeDOS)
However, I get the following error when trying to run the game:

Code Select Expand

reservememory - OUT OF MEMORY RESERVING UNFLIP P=32 HW=1220

Note that the HW=*** number changes all the time. I suppose it's a hardware memory address.
Also, when I run setup and change the sound/video settings it sometimes says SDMAIN.PVS or FONTDEF.FNT instead of UNFLIP.

I already Googled it but the only thing I found was this:

Are there other people who experienced this error and know how to deal with it? I'd really like to play this game again on a 386

stunts neads a heap of conventional memory, so disable disk chache and such things - i dont know how it works at freedos, with msdos, siabling the cd drive (mscdex), smartdrive and emm486 usually works.

FreeDOS is basically the same as MS-DOS except it isn't from MS

MEM says I have 598K conventional, 96K upper, and 2936K extended memory free. That should be enough I hope?
I remember it used to work on my HP Vectra 486 which always had like <550K conventional mem free.

btw, FreeDOS has a start-up menu by default that allows you to choose between: himem+emm386, himem, or no drivers.
Both the Himem+EMM386 and himem options give the error, the 'no drivers' plays the menu tune and then exits with the same error message.

On topic, does anyone have answer to my question yet?

[zaqrack]

I dont think anyone has experiences with freedos, and I fear it might be a freedos issue.

Just a question: how is the correct version of these Russian sentences? I used the translator and partly knew the spelling of these words (but not perfect, I guess).
