ok, when you convert your car into a helicopter with the help of the second spare tire, come back and we will discuss your nonsense about replacing RAM with a pathetic swap file.
by the way, leave 4GB of RAM in your PC and make the swap file 100GB, why do you need RAM, the swap file is cheaper

Wasn't there a build of AES4ALL that did this? Like you could use an SD card for a swap file to help with more quickly moving parts of the rom in and out of memory compared to getting the relevant part of the rom off of the CDr? I remember looking for youtube videos to see if this made those gigantic King of Fighters games playable, and while they played, it seemed like you still had a very subpar experience compared to emulating on something a little more modern than a DC.
