Please read the following important notes before trying the program.
The OTHER INFORMATION part is a sort of a general quickhelp, which
should point out some problems which you might encounter and how
to fix them. Please read the MANUAL for complete descriptions regarding
these facts.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
1. If your SoundBlaster has other interrupt than 7, you must specify
it by modifying DP.BAT to following form:
DIGIPLAY /I# %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
where # is the interrupt number of your SoundBlaster card.
2. If the screen looks messy or ill-colored and you have an EGA,
try adding a /F switch to DP.BAT
3. If some garbage appears, try using the keyboard mouse
(add switch /K). Also try to remove your mouse driver
if even this doesn't work.
4. Please read the manual if you have time.
OTHER INFORMATION:
To see all the switches, write DIGIPLAY /?.
To make settings file, do a batch file DP.BAT containnig the correct
switches.
The switch for SoundBlaster interrupt is /I,
use /I5 for interrupt 5, for example make a DP.BAT
which would contain the following (example for Ep Piersma):
DIGIPLAY /K /I5 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
/K specifies the keyboard mouse emulation, and /I5 the interrupt.
You may add /P# (try 2 for example) to get different color.
The default palette for EGA is a bit bright (EGA has a VERY limited
palette you know) so you may need to adjust your monitors brightness
control. You may also try selecting other palettes with command
line switches.
To get help inside program, you can either press F1 or push the
'Help' button on screen top-right corner.
In keyboard mouse emulation, the KEYPAD arrows move the mousepointer,
with SHIFT it goes faster, and INS is the left button, DEL the right one.
The emulation works pretty much as a real mouse, and to drag, just hold
INS or DEL down. The mouse accelerates slowly when moved without SHIFT,
and has a steady speed with SHIFT (although faster than the starting
speed without SHIF).
If the sample starts playing ok, but the halts without no apparent
reason, you probably have a wrong interrupt setting. (DigiPlayer
defaults to IRQ 7).
