OMG! Big Problem: Memory Leak with ATI Catalyst 9.4 or later. One solution NOW!

[pablobiernik]

Hi friends, I have a big problem for some time.
My OS is Windows 7, and I've been using all versions of the emulator.
The problem is that as I am playing, the ram memory consumption increases, and reaches a point where I get a warning for lack of memory, and closes the emulator.
Happens with all games, is a problem I'm having continuously.
Resident Evil Zero, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Metroid Prime, and others.
Is this problem common? There any way to fix this? I must clarify that in Windows XP This problem does not occur.
I have 2GB of ram.

Please Help, I can not play anything for more than 10 minutes that I closed the emulator for alleged lack of RAM.

Bye bye

The problem started to occur since the RC version of Windows 7 (build 7100). At this moment I have the 7264 and persists.

Let me guess, you have an ATI Radeon video card, and your Catalyst Drivers are 9.4 or newer.

This might be your issue
Solution for that: use Catalyst 9.3 or older.

Do this only happends on Windows 7?

All versions. Stupid memory leak.

I downloaded the latest version of the drivers (ATI Catalyst 9.7) and the problem persists. I can not believe it, we will be doomed to use the old version of drivers for all eternity.
Users of ATI, will we have to endure not being able to use the emulator?

I haven't had any issues with memory leaks and I'm using a HD4850 with 9.5 drivers :\
