here's a problem...games won't load from hard drive

[motorollin]

The difference is that when you load from floppies, (a) you have nothing else loaded and eating memory, and (b) from floppy, the game is loaded little bits at a time.

Piru's suggestions will save you some memory. If you still don't have enough then try disabling the PRELOAD option in the tooltypes of the game or the WHDLoad config file. It will stop WHDLoad from loading the whole game at once, which might allow it to run.

Failing that, Piru is right - you will need at least a RAM card, or better yet an accelerator with RAM on board.

how much free chip ram do you have after WB has fully booted?
It can be something as simple as you running WB with too many colours or something, which use up alot of ram.

Well he said he had the same problem when booted without SS, so I suspect the HD-installed version of the game requires more than 2MB of RAM. PaperMario, how did you install the games? Did you use WHDLoad or something else?
