- How to get your favorite game to work with the UltraSound Plug & Play
- =====================================================================
-
- This document will guide you through the steps to get the games which do not
- directly support the UltraSound Plug & Play going......
-
- First Step (s) to prepare you for the ultimate gaming experience
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- We recommend that you follow these instructions to properly setup your
- system for getting sound from games.
-
- 1) Run PREPGAME from the game directory. (refer to README file on the
- floppy disks for in-depth details).
-
- 2) Determine which model of Ultrasound Plug & Play you have and follow
- details according to information below.
-
- 3) If you are using an UltraSound Plug & Play Pro or an UltraSound
- Plug & Play with RAM then choose "UltraSound" in your game setup.
-
- 4) If "UltraSound" is not an option choose "Sound Blaster". Make
- sure you run IWSBOS before running your game.
-
- 5) If you are having difficulty with IWSBOS then you can use
- MEGAEM. With either IWSBOS or MEGAEM you can configure your
- game for either "Sound Blaster" and/or "General MIDI"
-
-
- Ultrasound Plug & Play (Base Model)
- -----------------------------------
- This version of the UltraSound Plug & Play ships with a 1MB ROM set
- and no RAM.
-
- In order to play DOS games you will need to run either IWSBOS or MEGAEM
- to put the UltraSound Plug & Play into "Sound Blaster" or "General MIDI"
- emulation mode.
-
- We recommend that you configure your game to use General Midi for music and
- Sound Blaster for digital. If you, for some reason, don't get music working,
- then you can configure that game to use Sound Blaster for Music. To run this
- program, just type IWSBOS or MEGAEM at the DOS prompt. Then configure your
- game as described above and run the game.
-
- If you wish to gain native UltraSound compatiblity you will need to add some
- RAM - in this case the smallest amout of RAM you can add is 1MB. This will
- give you greater compatiblity options.
-
-
- Ultrasound Plug & Play (PRO Version)
- -----------------------------------
-
- This version of the card comes with 512K RAM built-in. Like the base model
- it also has the same 1MB ROM.
-
- In order to get sound from games, you now have 2 choices of Emulators to use
- and one hardware compatiblity to aid you. The emulator options are the same
- as those listed above.
-
- The greatest advantage to the PRO version is that it is 100% hardware
- compatible with the existing Gravis UltraSound (not MAX). This also means that
- you do not need to run the emulators except for games that don't support
- Ultrasound directly. Just select Ultrasound from the games sound card list
- and enjoy the awesome sounds when you play your games.
-
- Note: Unless your card has RAM installed and RAM support installed from the
- CD-ROM, you will hear no sound if you set up your sound card as an UltraSound.
-
-
- DOS Box Support under Windows '95
- ---------------------------------
-
- If you access the DOS Box from the MS-DOS Prompt, then you must run SETGUS from
- the command line. This will configure DOS to allow you to run either Sound Blaster
- or UltraSound games in a Windows '95 DOS Box.
-
- An easier way to access a DOS box is through the GUS Prompt located in the
- Ultrasound Plug & Play folder. This will automatically configure the DOS
- environment for running your games.
-
- For optimal performance we recommend that you run all DOS games from MS-DOS
- mode and not a DOS Box. Running games in a DOS Box may give inconsistent results.
