That's why I used the conjugation that I did from the verb "is" to "would".

It's entirely likely that gog have patched their executable to disable that mem size check; it's trivial if you know what to look for (and I assume that the gog people do have a bit of experience in that regard).

[Luis Dias]

Do they have access to the code of the games and a policy to keep the games updated to the current OSes and so on?

Wait why am I asking these questions here? Why should you answer me? Might as well check their FAQs . Sorry!

[The E]

They have the same access we do, at least for FS2

The thing is though, the kind of memory capacity check was using is a common pattern that shows up quite clearly in assembly, patching that out is not that hard.

I have the gog copy and it works fine. I would imagine as a rule gog make old games runnable on newer systems, otherwise you'd just have pi**ed off customers all the time.
