- ]I[
-
- a HORNET Production
-
- ..............................................................................
-
- _____Overview
-
- This demo is a 4 month project aimed at advertising Music Contest ]I[.
- Please refer to the mc3rules.zip archive for more specific information on
- the contest. Some of the information in this intro may be slightly
- inaccurate. The mc3rules.zip are the _official_ rules to this contest.
-
- I'm going to be zipping past the topics fairly quickly, as I simply don't
- have the time to write up a proper one.
-
- Anyway, have a look through now, and see if any of it applies to you. Enjoy
- this demo, and if possible, try and enter something in the contest. You
- never know, you might just win :).

- _____System Requirements
-
- Essentials :
-
- 386 or better
- VGA ability
- 4 megs RAM
-
- Recommended :
-
- Hard disk for fast loading
- One of the following soundcards:
- SB 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0, SBPRO
- GUS
- Any of the PAS card family
-
- ..............................................................................
-
- _____Instructions and Troubleshooting
-
- For configuration, use this as a guideline: For GUS card users, you can run
- this demo on any size computer. Note that I have cut the GUS volume table
- back considerably to speed up volume ramping. So, take into account that
- Mellow-D's music won't sound quite what it should be when played through
- GUS cards.
-
- People with SBPRO cards, a slow machine may not be able to cope. If you
- have a 386-16 running SB, then i would advise that you have no sound at
- all. If you haven't got a super fast computer, than I would like you to
- select the "11025" sample rate please.
-
- - This demo runs on Adam Seychells DOS32 V3.00ß P-mode platform. Although,
- he has built his extender to meet DPMI, OS/2, EMM386 specifications, many
- of my testers are still reporting complaints. It is mostly my fault as I am
- not using Adam's extender properly, but for now please run this demo in a
- clean DOS environment.
-
- - Some people with SB16 and AWE32 cards have reported clicking. I have
- tried to fix this within the deadline of this demo, but without any luck.
- Sorry. :(
-
- - If you have a PAS, or any crusty SB compatible devices, use the SB
- compatibility mode.
-
- - There is a bug when running in SBPRO mode. Every now and then, the card
- doesn't initialize properly. I have tried everything to try a correct it
- for about a year or so. I can not for the life of me figure out what is
- causing it. So, if the sound output sounds very warped and slow, simply
- reset the machine and rerun it.
-
- - Snowman questioned the "Over Pass Filter" setting I have in the setup
- screen of the demo. This currently only applies to SBPRO people. This
- filter filters/enhances the output signal. For further reading, refer to
- your SB manual.
-
- - If you want to re-setup your soundcard settings, simply delete the *.CFG
- file and run the program again.
