: The CD may be slower (probably is) but with using the memory mapped files system you dont have to write any extra code. It is completely transparent to the program that is running.. Also, how much free memory do you have at runtime?
Well, depends on the application, but the ngine
core typically only needs 100kb RAM, maybe a bit more when sound/net is fully implemented...
But the target app, such as SNES9x has a base
memory consumption of about 8 MByte, plus space
for ROM storage... so memory gets tight even in snes9x...
the file paging will not give you the speed
you need, it will not work... we are talking
about random access in a file about 100000 times
in a second (very likely) ... it cannot work,
if it were so, lots of games would use it...
all they can do is stream linear data, and thats
what the methog you described is designed for...
greetz!
