Happy-1998-Tro by The Unstoppable Hacker Bunch & Inside
Last-minute (actually, last 45 minutes) documentation:
About the sound: It's soundblaster only. Jeez. Why? Because I have no time
to install a GUS-supporting player that works correctly anymore. And no,
I can't use midas. Why not? Well, this demo is coded in BP70, which is not
supported by new versions of midas and version 0.4 sucks bigtime. Comprendre?
It does support sbpro/sb16/sb32 etc. though. Oh, speaking about the sound,
the sound system is coded by Charles Attard (Charles.Attard@bigfoot.com),
so go and shoot him if it doesn't work.
(Charles thinks: "well, thanks but no thanks for crediting me." *grin*)
Problems?
Ok, this demo might not work. Here are some things you might want to try:
- install a better vesa-driver (for instance, the latest version of univbe)
- reboot without expanded memory managers like EMM386 or QEMM. The demo
is supposed to work loads better when only himem.sys is installed
- add D=64 at the end of the EMM386 line in your config.sys
Here are some options you might want to try:
-VESA forces the demo to run, ignoring the vesa-detection
-NOSOUND beautiful silence
-Fxxxxx set sound frequency to xxxxx
-8BIT set sound to 8-bit
-MONO set sound to mono
so the line
1998 -VESA -F8000 -8BIT -MONO
skips vesa detection and gives terrible soundquality. While you're at it,
why don't you add -NOSOUND too? *hehehe*
Well, a happy 1998 to ya all! Gotta release a demo!
