1.System Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This game required a minimum of an ARM3 chip, and 3,072Kb of free memory
to run. If enough additional memory is available then music will be played
throughout the game.
On a 4Mb machine, it will probably be neccessary to turn on your machine
without loading the boot sequence (holding Shift whilst turning on your
machine will toggle whether the boot sequence is run).
2.Video Driver Modules
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
By default, the game is set up to run in a VGA mode if possible. If this
mode is unavailable (or there is insufficient memory for it) the game will
automatically switch to a TV scan rate mode (Mode 13). If you wish to
change the mode which is entered when the game is first loaded, this can
be done via the games menu system.
If you wish to change the screen mode which is being used whilst the game
is running, F7 (TV mode) and F8 (toggle VGA styles) will attempt to switch
to the corresponding mode. Filtered VGA mode is only recomended for high
end machines.
3.Game Controls

4.Troubleshooting
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you are having any problems running Botkiller 2, then please check the
list below before contacting the publisher.
Insufficient memory
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
As Botkiller 2 requires almost all of the memory of a 4Mb machine, it may
be necessary to load the game after skipping the machines !Boot sequence.
This can be achieved by turning on the machine whilst holding down Shift and
then running !Botkill2.
Using VGA screen modes
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
If pressing F8 refuses to switch to VGA screen mode, then there could be
two problems - your machine doesn't support VGA modes (ie if you are running
Botkiller 2 on a pre-RiscPC machine and it doesn't support modes such as
27 or 28), or there is insufficient memory available. If the latter is the
case then the situation may be alleviated by running the game after a 'clean
boot' (see above).
Resetting the controls/options
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
If you ever need to restore the options to the defaults, simply delete
the file '!Botkill2.Resources.Options'. The controls will then be restored
to those listed above and the options can then be controled via the game
menu system.
Resetting the high-scores
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
If you ever wish to reset the high-scores to the defaults, simply delete
the file '!Botkill2.Resources.Scores' and they will be reset to their
original values.
