VR BASEBALL (tm) 2000 DEMO README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= INSTALLATION =
Windows 95/98
------------------
Simply double click on the EXE file and follow the on screen instructions.
Once installed, go to Programs/VR Sports/VR Baseball 2000 Demo, then click
on VR Baseball 2000 Demo.
Playing Home Run Derby (tm)
--------------------------
Click through all the opening screens to get to the main Home Run Derby (tm)
title screen. Click on PLAY BALL, and you will be ready to play. Press
any key to bring a batter to the plate, then press any key to swing. The longer
you hold down on a key, the higher the ball will go. Push a key too fast,
and the ball will not go high enough for a home run. Hold down on a key too
long and the ball will pop straight in the air. Find that happy medium, and
get your timing right, and you'll be slugging balls out of the park.
Good luck!
VR Baseball 2000 requires the Microsoft DirectX 5.2 drivers to be installed.
To get the best experience, it is recommended that you get the
latest drivers from your video card manufacturer. Listed below are some
websites that may prove useful for obtaining the latest DirectX and OpenGL
drivers for your graphics card:
3Dfx (Voodoo, Voodoo2)
http://www.3dfx.com

http://www.atitech.com
Diamond Multimedia (Stealth II S220/G460, Monster 3D/3D II, Viper 330, etc)

Windows NT 4
------------
NOTE: Windows NT is not officially supported, these instructions are for the
experienced or adventurous user.
Windows NT 4 does not currently support DirectX 5.2, so in order to play in
Windows NT, you will need to remove the OPENGL32.DLL in your game directory.
Doing this will cause VR Baseball 2000 to use the resident OpenGL drivers on
the system. You should obtain the latest OpenGL drivers for your video card.
