Oh, that's great!!!!! No offense, and dont take this the WRONG way.....but DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDs YOU!!!!!


You come on here asking for help, for weeks!!!!!! Then, only to turn around and THROW it in the face of those who helped you,or lead you to help??? Wow.....




Have fun with your games buddy....

No offense taken. Just wanted to point out that some of these games do work. I have been told wrong information several times. I'll just take it as some people don't want to do business with me. (Not just you, in general).

And you solved the problem by doing ....

Upgrading the MPU to a 1GB MPU

[FireballJackpot]

Your issue with your CURRENT games has been solved.  Just an FYI whenever you have ANY "memory" errors:


The OS is "uploading" the games firmware from the card into RAM or DRAM (graphics go one place, operations go another). Some code on the card is compressed. The processor transfers code in batches. it does a checksum of the batch, then verifies it. When the verify returns a mis-match, you've run out of RAM - and thus the error code at the address the transfer failed. (or you have a bad RAM card - it verifies the RAM card when the game boots - you can tell On the boot screen how much RAM it verified).


In other words, go to www.newegg.com and order a 2gig SET of PC3200 DDR400 1Gig RAM sticks and install them in your 1gig MPU brain box, maximizing the potential of the MPU.


 That will enable you to avoid any future "memory" problems with whatever games that Alpha 1 box will run. For example; if you're going to run Lightning Jackpots, you WILL need 2G's of RAM.


Hope this helps....

Thank you for the info on memory sticks. I held off on memory because I didn't know what kind of sticks to buy.

What you said all makes sense. Thanks again for chiming in!
