- XTC-PLAY 0.60beta
- ------
- WHATS NEW ?
-
- ------------
- !since 0.60!
- ------------
- ■ VESA SUPPORT
- - Vesa Setup program SETVGA.EXE invented for more compatible VESA access
- - ET4000 support removed
-
- ■ OSCILLOSCOPES
- - Background picture is now possible : Copy a BMP with size 640x480x256 cols
- into your XTC-PLAY directory, flip the BMP horizontally and change color
- 255 to the color wanted for the oscilloscopes.
- - If no BMP is found, a standard status display is shown.
-
- ■ MEMORY MANAGER
- - Memory Managment no longer uses Borlands DPMI getmem/freemem. Now uses
- natively raw memory portions under a new managment system.
- *+- SHOULD BE MORE STABLE -+*
-
- - If it crashes although the new system, you have (!) to disable the sample
- loading feature. This will disable Oscilloscopes and Sample Ripper but it
- will on the other side provide a high compatible and stable system.
- To do so just enter XTC-PLAY /S, change Sample Loading to NO and save with
- "!". That's it !
