It's been so long since I played the mod, and when I did, my computer was a puny little single-core, 1.4GHz cpu, 1g ram weakling, back in like 2009. I crashed all of the time in that, so gave up, but I just put if off to my computer...

The thing with that LAA program, is that the game is a 32-bit game, and as such was written to use less than 2 gig of ram. No matter what your OS is, no matter how much ram you have installed - SH4 will not use more than 2 gig of ram. That's all that Windows allowed back then. In fact, it's actually closer to 1.5 gig of ram. LAA allows a 32-bit app that is Large Address Aware, such as SH4 v1.5, to address more that 2 gig of ram. Some of the larger mods benefit greatly from it. Just read up on the proper use of the applet, and see how it does. Just make sure your SH4.exe file isn't set to "Read only".
