- About the demo
- -------------------------------
-
- If you are experiencing problems that appear to be video
- related, or you are not sure if your machine is configured
- with a video card driver, the UNIVBE video driver has been
- included with this demo. On the CD Rom, in the NHL96\UNIVBE
- directory, you will find a utility called UNIVBE. This
- utility will help configure all major video cards to
- enable the NHL demo to display properly on your system.
- Please run this utility if you are experiencing video related
- problems.
-
- Note: Please contact the manufacturer of your video card with
- any VESA or video card issues.
-
- SMARTDRV or other disk-cacheing software should NOT be
- used while playing this demo.
-
-
-
- Hardware requirements for this demo
- -----------------------------------
-
- This demo requires that you have a 486 DX2/66 Mhz or faster
- CPU with 8 MB of RAM, an MPC 2 (double speed) CD-ROM drive,
- and a Vesa Local Bus video adapter.
-
- Performance will improve with better hardware. Please note that
- this demo does not install any files to the hard disk. Load
- times will be slower than the actual game, since the full game
- installs some files to your hard disk.
-
-
-
- If you have a supported Sound Card...
- --------------------------------------------
-
- This demo will attempt to auto-detect your sound card. If the
- autodetection does not seem to work, or you are experiencing
- problems with sound, you can over-ride the autodetection setup
- by specifying one of the following command-line switches:
-
- /SB for SoundBlaster(tm) 2.0 and compatible sound cards
- /SBPRO for SoundBlaster Pro (tm) and compatible sound cards
- /SB16 for SoundBlaster 16 (tm) and compatible sound cards
- /SBAWE for SoundBlaster AWE32 (tm) and compatible sound cards
- /ULTRA for Advanced Gravis Ultrasound (tm), MAX, and ACE
- /WSS for Windows (tm) Sound System compatible cards
-
- /NOSOUND for no audio
-
- To use one of these switches, go to the NHL demo directory on
- the cd rom and type:
-
- NHLDEMO <switch>
-
- For example, if the autodetection is having trouble finding or
- using your Sound Blaster 16 compatible card, you could enter:
-
- NHLDEMO /SB16
-
-
-
- Video problems:
- -----------------
-
- If the videos stutters, skips frames, or plays corrupted music
- it is possible that your CD-ROM drive does not meet MPC 2 standards
- for data throughput of 300 K/sec.
-
- SMARTDRV or other disk-cacheing software should NOT be
- used while playing this demo.

- About Video cards
- -----------------
-
- This demo of NHL96 requires a VESA-compatible SVGA video card
- capable of displaying 640x480 resolution with 256 colors. If
- your system does not have a VESA driver, try using the one
- which has been included with this game (UNIVBE). This
- utility can be found on the CD in the UNIVBE directory
- and can be run by executing that utility from that directory.
- Load UNIVBE by typing UNIVBE.EXE -I.
-
- If you experience popping sounds while moving your mouse
- around, try the following:
- Goto the CD ROM Drive, change to the UNIVBE directory on the CD.
- Type in UNIVBE.EXE -I. This will unload your built-in VESA BIOS
- and replace it with the UNIVBE BIOS.
-
- The UNIVBE driver may not work on all video cards. Certain
- Trident, ATI (Video Wonder) and Diamond video cards may need
- the VESA driver supplied by the manufacturer. Please contact
- the Video Card manufacturer for more information.
-
- Please refer to the reference card for more information
- regarding video problems.

-
- This product requires 500k of conventional memory and 6.9

- information on how to free up memory on your system.
