You got the same problem  as me, but I'm using SBLIVE.

Try to use:

device=c:\fdos\bin\emm386.exe memcheck x=test ems=1200

If ems too big, the SBEGO.EXE will refuse to load and you got the
error: Could not allocate code/patch RAM below 4 Mbyte boudary.
again.

If you are using the latest EMM386 you should not have this problem.  If 
you are using it and you still have this problem, had you reported it, it 
would have been fixed.  Both MEMCHECK and EMM= options should be 
unnecessary for almost all users.  There is no EMS= option.


The original poster indicated a desire for more EMS memory available, not less.

Busted again!

Sorry, maybe I miss the documents or your announcement.

I've removed the SBLIVE card, it did more trouble than good due to the
protection mechanism of SBEGO.EXE crashed lots of games.

When I use the default configuration for HIMEM and EMM386 :
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\HIMEM.EXE
DEVICE=C:\FDOS\BIN\EMM386.EXE
I have then 32MB of EMS.
and then I try to load SBPCI I got the following error :

error: Could not allocate code/patch RAM below 4 Mbyte boudary. Try loading


Sounds like you might be using an old version EMM386 that needs updating. 
EMM386 does not allocate extended memory beyond its own requirements until 
and unless it is needed.  If you are loading a driver or program after 
EMM386 and before SBPCI which uses extended or EMS memory, then you need to 
change that load order.
