TICKET ARCHIVE -> Shanghi 2.0 Memory Problem
icabombay - Nov 16, 2005 - 9:59 am
I have a Powerbook G-3 with an old version of Shanghi 2.0. It normally plays only in black and white. When I tried to turn on the color a message comes up saying "Sorry, there's not enough memory to play Shanghai" and all I can do is quit. I tried to increase virtual memory but it doesn't seem to help. How can I get back to the black and white version?

Make sure the application whose memory allocation you want to increase is closed. Highlight the application's icon.
From the File menu, select Get Info, then Memory. (In versions before Mac OS 8.5, you only need to select Get Info.) The application's information window should open.
Increase the application's memory allocation. The method differs slightly between older and newer versions of the operating system:
* In Mac OS 7.5 and later, in the information window you will see an area labeled "Memory Requirements". In the "Preferred size:" field, enter the amount of memory you'd like to allocate to the application. You cannot change the "Suggested size:" field. The "Minimum size:" field indicates the amount of free RAM needed to permit the application to run. If the "Preferred size:" amount is unavailable, as long as your computer has enough RAM to satisfy the minimum requirement to run, the application will be available.
* In Mac OS 7.1 and earlier, near the bottom of the information window you will see an area labeled "Memory". In the "Current size:" field, enter the amount of memory you'd like to allocate to the application. You cannot change the "Suggested size:" field. Bear in mind that you will always need enough free RAM to cover the new amount, or the application will not run.
==== on Os X operating system =======
There is no need to increase the memory size of the application, Os X will do it if necessary
But as Shanghai has not been ported to Os X, you'll have to search for a Mah Jong family solitaire game
This Mah Jong is great..but shareware
