I was wondering how to configure CWSDPMI in order to use virtual memory.
Does it do this by default?
I have tried:
CWSDPMI /* alone */
CWSDPMI -p /* install permanently */
CWSDPMI -sc:\cwsdpmi.swp /* redundant -- I think */
BTW: I have read the FAQ and the CWSDPMI.DOC file and have been unable
to decipher the truth.
My assumption is that CWSDPMI *does* do virtual memory by default and
that I'm just out of luck.
I am trying to configure CWSDPMI in order to fool QUAKE into thinking my
computer is not as obsolete as it really is.
I have a i486DX2-50MHz computer with only 4MB RAM... but I was curious
as to whether or not (with virtual memory from CWSDPMI) I could get QUAKE
to just "run" (I'd be happy with "walk" or "crawl" .. just something more
than "page fault").
*DISCLAIMER*
YES -- I *KNOW* I'm suppose to have a Pentium++ with 8MB++ RAM -- I'm
just "messing around" and wanting to learn more about the CWSDPMI settings.
this question only resulted from my trying to run Quake... I'm
mainly interested in a more verbose explanation of the CWSDPMI command
line arguments, and some insight on how it uses virtual memory.
(For instance, is the swap file dynamically created and destroyed --
I never saw the swap file after running...)
Thanks for any help!
