SH4 keeps crashing @ Tokyo Bay

Well, I'm completely stumped, and apparently Ducimus has no ideas either.

I'm not sure it's a TMO problem really. I know I was able to get into Tokyo Bay earlier in the war. I started using some other mods (SCAF and MaxOptics IV), in addition to TMO, in the latter part of the war (always installing when in port), so maybe those had something to do with it.

One other idea: I've done so much activation/deactivation of mods with JSGME, that it's possible something got mucked up with my SH4 install. I kept a copy of the unmodified game, so I'm going to restore that & start over with a different mod (perhaps RFB instead of TMO) & see whether the Tokyo Bay crashes still happen.

update2:
I was still getting crashes as soon as I got anywhere near Yokosuka in Tokyo Bay.

Then I applied the NTCore 4GB patch to SH4.exe. I only have 4GB RAM (see sig) but thought perhaps SH4 needed more RAM because of the mods.

That might have been the key. I'm now in Tokyo Bay in 1945 after applying the 4 GB patch, using just TMO 2.0. No crashes so far.

Going to try adding my prior mods one by one & make sure of no more crashes @ Tokyo Bay.
