Configure Help
This screen lets you set up
hardware information which is
specific to your system.
Yellow rectangles indicate
the current hardware config-
uration. You may use the
arrow keys to highlight (with
the blinking white cursor)
another option; then press
<Enter> or <Return> to select
this option. Selecting an
option highlights it with a
yellow rectangle and unselects
the previously selected
option.
Sound And Music:
If you own a Sound Blaster
compatible sound board you can
listen to digitized sound and
music while playing games.
If you have a Sound Blaster
Pro and you installed it nor-
mally, the correct set up
should be highlighted. Other-
wise, you first need to enter
which Port and Interrupt your
Sound Blaster is set to use.
If you do not know what to
choose, try experimenting.
If the port is wrong, neither
music nor sound will work. If
the interrupt is wrong but the
port is correct, music will
work but sound will not.
You also need to specify a
Sound Blaster driver for sound
to work. The default driver is
called "sndblast.drv", located
in the current directory.
This driver is compatible with
the "CT-Voice" driver used by
Creative Labs' Sound Blaster.
If your sound card supplies
another driver, use it
instead.
Video Cards:
Ninty-nine percent of the
VGA chips will be correctly
detected automatically. Thus
you should leave "auto-detect"
chosen unless you have video
problems.
If during a game you move
vertically and the character
seems to dissappear, or random
dots scroll onto the screen,
your VGA chip was incorrectly
detected. To remedy this
problem, select your chip type
from the menu.
Video card manufacturers
usually obtain their video
controller chips from one of
the chip vendors that this
software supports. So if the
name of your video board isn't
on our list, just experiment
with different video choices
until one works. The few
boards that won't work with
any of the choices are not
supported.
