Hardware Memory

[Crazy Craig]

I got a bit nostalgic and bought a copy of Destruction Derby for the PC. When I come to install it it says...

 

Your system does not contain enough hardware memory to run this game. Your system contains 2048kb or memory, this game requires 6144kb.

 

Erm... what can I do to solve this?

 

Cheers,

You may have to run it through some sort of emulator as it's a very old game, I still have it somewhere but what specs does it ask for?

[Crazy Craig]

There isn'y anything on the box or the CD, but I got this from a website if its any use?

 

System: 486/66 or equivalent

RAM: 8 MB

Hard Drive Space: 25 MB

It is a dos game.

You may be able to run it through dosbox

You may have to use the Windows Compatability program.

 

But I still play it on XP, The PC I played it on when I first bought the game, back in '96 was a Pentium MMX 166 Mhz

 

To get it to run on my PC I have to turn off the "Hardware Acceleration"

 

On empty desktop:

 

Right Click --> Settings --> Advance --> Troubleshoot

 

Then if your PC is the same as mine then turn down the Hardware Acceleration until its off.

 

Took a bit of tinkering to get it to run on my current computer, but now it runs fine, at perfect frame rate! lol

I tried that DosBox but cant figure out how to use it properly? Each time i put the dd disk in to install it, still says about the hardware memory!
