- Requirements
- ------------
- Any AGA Amiga with 2meg chip, and a hard disk. Fast ram is taken
- advantage of, but isn't required.
-
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Pretty simple this one.. copy all the files to one directory and execute
- the file called "Dreams". A HD is required - of course you could *try*
- running it from a floppy disk, but I don't envy your chances of succeeding.
- In any case, the program will first look in PROGDIR: followed by Dreams:
-
- If this is to run on 2 meg machine, first hold down both mouse buttons
- on startup, disable all unnecessary disk drives and partitions, and
- boot with no startup sequence.
-
-
-
- CLI Options
- -----------
-
- SystemInts Uses system interrupts (AddIntServer, SetIntVector)
- instead of hardware hitting interrupts
-
- Multitask Enables multitasking, and blitter queueing. From the
- main menu use Left-Alt+Control, or Left-Amiga+Control
- to switch back to the system (to return to the slideshow,
- press the same key combination a second time). This option
- automatically selects 'SystemInts'
-
- HWBlit Cancels blitter queueing (this is usually set by default,
- but can be used in combination with 'Multitask')
-
- Quiet Skips all all sound output. Along with 'SystemInts' or
- 'Multitask' this allows you to play some different music
- in the background
-
- SkipIntro Skips the introduction sequence
-
- MultiLoad Forces pictures to be loaded as they are seen, even if
- there's enough memory to load everything at once.
-
- SkipLoadView0 Skips LoadView(0), WaitTOF, WaitTOF (for those of us that
- actually notice a two frame delay on startup.. :) )
-
-
-
- Music
- -----
- If you like, different music can be loaded by specifying the path/filename
- of a P61 module (better known as "The Player 6.1a" which is available
- through Aminet) in parentheses.
-
- For example: Dreams (RAM:SpaceDebris) Multiload
- would read a P61 module called "SpaceDebris" from RAM: before starting.
- The intro timing changes slightly if external music is read. The original
- music's memory is purged in this case (as it is with 'Quiet'), so if you're
- short on memory, smaller music could help.
