- Requirements:
-
- - This game requires 1 meg of memory (either 540k conventionnal + 64k EMS or
- 610k conventionnal)
-
- - This game was tested ok under Windows. However, with the many different
- Windows configurations, it may not work properly on your system. We
- recommend launching this game from DOS.
-
- - We also recommend launching the game from a clean DOS environment (no TSRs),
- or menu shells.
-
- - Champions of Zulula requires DOS 5.0 or greater (because of the memory
- requirements)
-
-

- Problem #1
-
- P: The game locks up during the checkup screen
- C: - You sound card is not 100% adlib compatible
- - Your EMS driver is not 100% EMM386 compatible
- - You may not have enough memory (See problem #3 for more info)
- S: You can use the following switches to disable
- testing:
- ZULULA /noems
- ZULULA /noadlib
- WARNING: Running the game with the switch /noems will switch the game into
- all conventionnal mode. In this mode, it requires 610k free RAM.
-
- Problem #2
-
- P: The joystick don't work, my characters seems to run in random directions.
- C: - The joystick is not calibred
- - Your machine is too fast to read the joysticks properly
- S: You can calibrate the joystick by going to the Options menu (flying
- pyramid) and choose "CALIBRATE JOYSTICK". Then follow the instructions.
- If the joystick still acts awkward, remove the turbo from your machine.
- Note: The joystick routines were tested OK on machines slower or equal to
- a 486dx-33
-
- Problem #3
-
- P: Some sprites don't appear, or I get OUT OF MEMORY errors...
- C: Your system has insufficient conventionnal memory
- S: - Remove TSRs, and run Champions of Zulula from a clean DOS environment

-
- Problem #4
- P: The music runs too slowly
- C: The joystick are interfering with the music (on slower machines)
- S: Turn off the joysticks, or sound card.
-
- Problem #5
-

- C: You VGA card is incompatible with the detection routines.
- S: Answer "Yes" to the query "Continue anyway". If the game
- don't work even if you answer yes, you may not have a 100%
- compatible VGA card.
-
- Command live parameters:
-
- Here is a list of parameters Champions of Zulula will understand
-
- /noems : Used to disable checking for EMS memory. Useful in helping
- to solve memory manager conflicts.
-
- /noadlib : This will disable the adlib detection, so that music, and
- sound will not play.
-
- Also, deleting ZULULA.CFG will restore default configuration.
