SDRAM requirement in MRA files

Unread post by macro »

Just an idea, but would it be possible to add an optional <sdram>32</sdram> key to the arcade MRA files, so that on selection mister can kick up an error message if there is insufficient SDRAM installed. even just having a yes or no would be OK
Did I do something useful?

Only a few NeoGeo games (depending on whether or not you classify that as an 'arcade' core).

Yeah it does not use MRA files so adding a mem requirement to MRA would not help there as NEOGEO used carts at home and in the arcade its classed as a console under MiSTer
