How to increase number of words in RAM megafunction?

[Altera_Forum]

So I am using the dual port RAM mf, I noticed that the maximum number of words for any word size is 65536. Is there any way I can increase this? I want 3 bit words, and a lot of them. 

 Will simulating with another board help? If yes, which one? Thanks in advance.

how many is a lot? THe megafunction is limited to 16 bit addressing. If you have to use the megawizard/mf, then you will have to generate multiple rams (why not have 3x 1x64k ram in parrallel, 1 bit per ram ?)  

 Have you worked out exactly how many internal memory blocks your 3 bit word will need? Have you tried inferring the ram in HDL?

I could probably try inferring the ram, would that be the best way?

Did you try to type in 80000 in the MegaFunction's number of words field?
