Using more than 1.2GB of RAM!

I kept having memory issues while organizing a large collection. I found a way to increase romcenter's available memory beyond 1.2GB. It's fairly simple, but requires binedit.exe from Microsoft. You can install it by installing the community version of Visual Studio.

After installing, I simply do the following:

Code: Select all

c:\Downloads\romcenter32_4.2.0.beta2>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\Hostx64\x64\editbin" /LARGEADDRESSAWARE *.exe
Right now, I have a session running using (at the moment) 2.2GB of RAM.

I saw a reference to a 64bit version coming someday, but in the meantime, you might want to update the release process to run editbin.exe against the binaries before posting them.

Hi there. The next version of RC (4.2) will have an 64-bit flavor. Indeed Eric had posted it somewhere.
