- IQ DIGIZINE, Volume 1 Readme file:
-
- MACINTOSH INSTALLATION & PLAYBACK RECOMMENDATIONS:
-
- 1. Drag the IQ DIGIZINE icon from the CD-ROM onto your hard disk and run it
- from there for best performance.
-
- 2. Before playing IQ DIGIZINE for the first time, you must install QuickTime 2.5. included on this disc (if you do not already have it installed).
-
- 3. TURN OFF AppleTalk (and any NETWORKING) from within the Chooser.
-
- 4. TURN OFF Virtual Memory (under Control Panels, Memory). If you are using
- RAM Doublerâ„¢ (an extension from Connectix) or Virtual Memory (an option
- found on the Memory Control Panel), for the best performance, you should
- disable them and restart your Macintosh before playing IQ DIGIZINE.
-
- 5. Turn off unnecessary or unused Extensions and Control Panels. They use
- up valuable memory and are known to cause conflicts if too many or all are run
- simultaneously. Use Extensions Manager or other similar Startup Controller to
- disable unwanted Extensions and Control Panels, or simply move them out of
- the System:Extensions folder to a new folder named "Extensions (Disabled)".
-
- 6. Restart your Macintosh.
-
- The "IQ DIGIZINE1" application is a "fat binary" and runs on all Macintosh computers.
-
- If you have a Power Mac, the startup file "IQ DIGIZINE1/PPC" has been compiled for Native Power Mac (PowerPC) machines.
-
- IQ DIGIZINE1 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
-
- 68030 (or better) CPU
- 8 MB RAM or better
- 13 inch Monitor or better
- 256 Color Display or better, Thousands of Colors
- System 7.0 or higher
- Double Speed CD-ROM Drive or better
- QuickTime 2.0
-
- PERFORMANCE COMMENTS:
-
- Screen transitions and sprite graphics animate best at 256 (8 bit) colors,
- while QuickTime movies appear best at "Thousands" (16 bit) or "Millions" (32
- bit) color. So the best trade-off is to set the monitor at "Thousands". This program
- is designed for a 640 x 480 pixel monitor display. Setting your monitor larger
- only uses up your system's VRAM and actually causes the imagery to appear
- smaller on your screen. So, a monitor setting of 640 x 480 at Thousands of
- colors is the best trade-off. Setting at Millions tends to slow down some of the
- sprite effects and transitions become sluggish.
-
- We recommend that you allocate the maximum memory available for IQ DIGIZINE1.
- To do this, select "About This Macintosh. . ." from the Apple Menu. The
- amount listed under "Largest Unused Block" is your computer's unused
- memory. Set the "Preferred" memory size of the IQ DIGIZINE1 application on
- your hard drive to approximately 100 K below the "Largest Unused Block"
- value. To do this, highlight the IQ DIGIZINE1 application on your hard drive,
- select "Get Info" from the File Menu, and set the "Preferred Size".
- For example, if the largest unused block of memory is 7,267 K,
- then set the preferred size of the IQ DIGIZINE1 application to 7,167 K.
-
- QUITTING:
- Command-. (period) will quit IQ DIGIZINE1 anytime.
