Using MEMMAKER to maximize your conventional MS-DOS memory for classic gaming

In this fairly short video, we go through the steps in using MS-DOS MEMMAKER to free up as much conventional DOS 640K memory as possible.

The version seen here is MS-DOS 6.22 on a 486 with 83MHz Pentium Overdrive and 16 MB RAM.

This was a fairly common issue for running some of the more "advanced" games in the early 1990's before the use of such programming methods as DOS/4G and 4GW commonly seen in games like Quake and Doom for instance.
