Hi, gillianx68000

Let me see... What is your "ram expansion" board's model name?

We know how much ram that ram board have by model name.

And picture of the board will help.

Basically compact xvi have 2mb ram on the main board.

Total memory size  would be 2mb + your ram expansion board's ram size.

You can check total memory size available, simply by typing "memfree" at the Human68k's prompt.

Super street fighter requires 4mb of ram.  If it works, you have at least 4mb or ram  ;D
