"Failed to grab 1GB contiguous memory!"

[secondadvent]

what plugins are you guys using? i originally had njoy as my pad plugin, and had this error, but after switching back to the dolphin plugin, it stopped giving that message and allowed me to actually play games for a change .

i had temporarily disabled all of my antivirus/firewall stuff with no fix before (and having 4GB ram and another 4 virtual, it was unlikely to be a memory issue ), but even with it all on, just by switching the plugin fixed it... too bad the ps3 controller isn't supported by the default plugin... hafta get out my xbox controller then .

I'm using the default configuration as much as possible, though I've tried all combinations of the plugins that come with the install. Doesn't help.

Thats Kinda Weird Ive had Dolphin Running With a Logitech Controller Since Beta 2 and never had Any Problems. Come to think of it I've never had any Dolphin Problems But Slow Downs And Games Crash Randomly.

Ive Had Some People report They Fixed there Problem After Running GameBooster, Since it Frees Up About 3-400 Mb of ram It Might Help.

Or You Chould always Turn off antivirus's, FireWalls Anything thats memory Hungry lol. You Chould Even try Using a Bat File,

Try this:
1. Right click on the game icon from Dolphin
2. Click properties
3. Go to "Emulation State:", and choose "Perfect"
4. close, and double click the game, it should work!

Hi all. I just got the program and am getting the same message. I haven't tried the solutions in this thread yet....getting ready to.

CGG: I don't see any emulation state option when I right click on either exe file in my x86 folder. Are you talking about different files?

wow finaly after a week of finding one I finally solved this error check on your task manager and look at processes tab and search for ctfmon.exe if its running then its the one hogging your contiguous memory so just donwload this http://www.technixupdate.com/remove-ctfmonexe-in-windows-with-ctfmon-remover/
and follow the instructions and see if it works for ya cuz it worked for me

I did that and I got Can't create opengl renderer. You might be missing some required opengl extensions,check the logs for more info

Then I get 'The instruction at "0x7c9113f7"referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written". Wat should I do?

Please don't link directly to the files on my server. A link to the thread is all that's needed. Can you please edit your post?

I've rewritten the memory management in a way that SHOULD finally fix this problem for pretty much everyone, no need for this patch anymore. Revisions from 4506 and upwards have the new memory management - please report if there's still any problems.
