If I am the 'Jim' referred to, I should say that I run RPCEmu on Linux, not Windows. So I can't say if there may be some differences between the two that matter here. And I have no idea about file ownerships on Windows. My memory is unreliable, so what follows is subject to being corrected by someone more knowledgeable. But IIRC for Linux... Using RO4.02, RPCEmu treats the '2' setting for VRAM in the config file [1] as meaning "up to 8mb of VRAM". The behaviour is then limited by the 'bandlimit' values referred to in the earlier emails that have been quoted. Once that has been done... If you continue to be limited to low pixel-depths for the largest RPCEmu screen sizes, it will be because the emulator/OS is finding that "I have enoug vram, but I can't safely write the data fast enough for such a mode" so is dropping to a lower depth to keep within the bandlimit values specified. So to fix that, increase the 'Bandlimit' values by a factor of ten[2], and Robert becomes your avuncular relative! :-) [1] The "rpc.cfg" file inside the emulator directory as viewed by my Linux host machine. (But should also be settable using the 'config' of the running emulator window.) Afraid I don't know where the Windows or MacOS versions of RCPEmu keeps this file.)
