Earnestly asking the experts for help, about a memory problem!! - China DOS Union Forum

My machine is running XP. When I play Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Power-Up Kit, I can't see the mouse, so I used the webmaster's MS-DOS 7.10 super boot disk to boot into DOS and play. But after the opening screen, the game pops up saying there isn't enough memory. I saw in the description that when booted with this boot disk, free conventional memory is usually still as high as 625K-630K, and I don't have this problem when running other games. Only when running Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Power-Up Kit do I get this insufficient memory problem. So I'd like to ask the experts exactly how much memory this game needs to run, and how to free up more memory under DOS?? I really like this game, and I hope everyone can help me! Thanks!!

Did you load emm386? Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV needs EMS.

Yes, I loaded it. Both the first and second boot disk options work, but it still says there isn't enough memory! What should I do?

Shouldn't you have to use deivce=emm386.exe ram for it to work?

I tried both parameter settings! No improvement at all! Looks like I still don't know how to configure this. Could the webmaster make a boot disk specifically for playing games!!
