'cannot initialize replay system' message in GPL

by SS » Thu, 21 Nov 2002 13:16:10

Just upgraded my CPU to an Athlon XP 2000+ and installed the high-speed cpu
fix for GPL, but now I get an error message indicating that GPL, 'cannot
initialize replay system'.  I updated my motherboard too and increased
system RAM....don't know if that is relevant.  Before I get into nitty
gritty system details, can anyone point to an easy solution?

Thank you

  GPL has a limit of 512mb of ram.  Either create a ramdisk to take up the
extra ram,  turn it off via windows or yank the extra stick out..

        No, GPL does not have a limit of 512MB ram. It works fine for me
        with 1GB of system ram. If you are using <W2K/XP/NT, you just
        need to limit the vcache to less than 512M if you have over 512M
        of physical memory.

     we agree...my 2nd suggestion was a poorly worded version of your CLEAR
suggestion.

The simpler way to do it is just increase the replay overide buffer in
the core.ini file.

Change or add these 2 lines to your core.ini file

[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 128000

The 128000 bit is a RAM number. You can increase or decrease it until
GPL works. 128k should be ok though.
