What is needed:
As no help was found in Ubuntu forum, i decided to give it try, and ask here for help
how to make games using more/all available memory.
There seems to be a limitiation of only “Region 1 + Region 3” being available.
If additional information is needed, just let me know, and i will be more than happy, to provide, what ever i can.
