How much free RAM do we have?

Hi,

How much RAM do we have available for a homebrew app?

Thanks,


Thiago

The Wii has 24 (mem1) + 64 (mem2) MB of RAM

The beginning of Mem1 is filled with infos, and the HomeBrew community has a quasi-standard to keep an area of memory untouched to allow "return to loader". Basicly you are mssing the lower 16 Kilobyte of Mem1

You can use the Rest of Mem1 (your code resides there too)
You can use the lower 51MB of mem2 (IOS memory starts after that)

All in all, you have about 74 MB of RAM for your code, data and the anything else you bring with you (librarys)

Is there a way to specify where to allocate memory from?

I tried to allocate 20MB using malloc but it failed.
