Can't load SFF problem in Mugen 1.1

[Krypto 'SAM' saiyaN]

Why this problem happen actually? Sometimes I get this trouble, can happen to both characters and stages..even the lifebars sometimes happen, usually if the sff file for that stuff is above 100mb. Why? Is this because I don't have enough RAM? My RAM is only 4gb. Or it because of the graphic card? We all know in mugen 1.1, for those who use the 'older graphic card' must set safemode = 1. What is the new graphic card actually??? I'm not really good with all this stuff.

i'd say ram issue.

 

mainly because opening a big file like that takes alot of computer power.

 

my FF sometimes freezes when i open 100+ mb.

I can tell when more complicated next-gen fighting games' materials are released, the SFFs and SNDs can only grow bigger every now and then (provided that someone cares to do these jobs)!

Of course, one might just add as many things as he/she/it wants to the SFFs and SNDs, regardless the source origin.

All of my leisure money has been spent on my PC because it is my only entertainment system so yes, please upgrade your PC hardware if necessary and affordable.

It's just something that happens.  My hardware is much better than the average MFFAer (which doesn't require much effort) and I still get this error.  Mugen is a 32-bit program, so it can only use 2GB of system RAM and 2GB of GPU RAM.  Mugen is exceptionally poor at managing its own memory usage,

I also have a feeling is because of RAM problem...well here the image of the error:-

 

 

As you guys can see - 'can't load sff file'.

This is why I said a PC hardware upgrade helps:

 

* in my Fighter Factory 3

=> sf4omni.sff file size is 236MB

 

And, sf4omni runs smoothly in my MUGEN1.1 and MUGEN1.0

 

For your case:

 

* in my Fighter Factory 3

=> Kukulkan.sff file size is 130MB

 

* in my MUGEN1.1

=> my MUGEN1.1 video setting:
