Common problems and solutions
=============================================================================
NOT ENOUGH FREE MEMORY
======================
Problem: When I run Sango Fighter, the game refuses to start and gives
me the screen saying "Thanks for playing Sango Fighter"
and some order information.
Solution: You need to free up more main (conventional) memory before
starting Sango Fighter. Here are some possible solutions:
1. If you are trying to run Sango Fighter from Windows, completely exit
Windows and try running it from DOS.
2. If you are trying to run Sango Fighter from "DOSSHELL" or any other
menu program, please exit from the menu program. Then, run Sango Fighter
from the DOS prompt. Some menu programs can use enough memory so that
there there isn't enough left for Sango Fighter to run.
If neither #1 or #2 solves the problem, do the following:
1. From the DOS prompt, type "MEM" and press Enter.
2. You'll see a lot of information about your computer's memory. Look at
the number after the words "Largest Executable Program Size". This is
how much memory you currently have available for running programs. You
need at least 564K (577,536 bytes) to run Sango Fighter. If you do
not have this much available, here are a couple things you can try in
order to free up more main memory:
1. If you're using DOS 6.0 or later, reboot your computer by pressing
RESET or Ctrl-Alt-Del. Wait for the message "Starting MS-DOS..." to come
up. Now press the [F5] key.
This will cause DOS 6.0 to bypass all of your TSR's, memory managers,
and other programs which normally occupy main memory.
Now change into the Sango directory and begin the game.
2. If you have a version of DOS earlier than 6.0: You need to create a
"boot disk" to allow you to start your computer without loading all
the TSR's and memory managers that take away main memory. Here's how.
A. Put a blank disk in your A: drive and format it as a DOS disk. (Don't
do this in your B: drive - it won't work!) To do this, type the
following command:
FORMAT A: /S
B. Wait while your computer formats the disk.
C. Label the disk "Boot Disk" and keep it handy. You'll need this
disk whenever you want to start Sango Fighter.
Now, you can reboot your computer and play Sango Fighter:
A. Put the boot disk in your A: drive.
B. Restart your computer, either by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE, by
hitting your reset button, or by turning it on.
C. Wait while your computer boots from the boot disk.
D. After a little while, your computer will stop and give you the A>
prompt.
E. Now change to your hard disk by typing "C:" or the letter of
whatever drive Sango Fighter is on.
F. Go into the Sango fighter directory by typing "CD \Sango".
G. Begin by typing "Sango".
Note to owners of "Stacker", "Superstor", and other hard disk compression
programs: If your C: drive is compressed and you need a boot disk to
start Sango Fighter, you must unzip Sango on a different,
non-compressed drive. See your manual for instructions on doing this.
(This only applies to users of DOS version 5.0 or earlier).
THE ARROW KEYS CAN'T WORK WELL
================================
PROBLEM: I can't use arrow keys to select BATTLE mode, I only can play
STORY mode.
SOLUTION: Use the W, X, A, and D keys instead the arrow keys. W = up, X
= down, A = left, and D = right. In this mode you should also use the
[TAB] key for punches, rather than [ENTER]. You can also select
"OPTIONS" from the main screen to allow the use of the arrow keys or
numeric keypad.
OTHER PROBLEMS
==============
NOTE TO PRO AUDIO SPECTRUM OWNERS
=================================
Sango Fighter should work fine with the PAS, PAS+, and PAS-16 sound
cards. You need to run SETUP and tell it that you have a Sound Blaster
card.
Important! To run Sango Fighter on any Pro Audio Spectrum sound card, you
need to have the PAS drivers loaded properly. Sango will only recognize
your PAS card if the drivers are loaded. See your PAS manual for
instructions on loading the right PAS drivers in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files.
