- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- Simply copy all files to your AOE directory and type: PATCH
-
- The patch file will make all necessary file changes and verify
- that the patch has worked.
-
- We also suggest that, if you are NOT using a Colorado Spectrum
- Notebook Game Port, you run the batch file FIXJOY.BAT, included in
- this patch. To run this simply type: FIXJOY This will disable the
- initialization process for the Gamp Port, which has been shown to
- cause problems on machines not equipped with the Notebook Game Port.
- Should you subsequently purchase a Notebook Game Port, the
- initialization can be re-enabled by typing: FIXJOY U

- PATCH ENHANCEMENTS
-
- Owners of newer Packard Bell computers were experiencing
- problems when attempting to fly missions. This would result
- in a lockup when the "Please Wait" screen was displayed. This
- has been corrected.
-
- There also appeared to be a conflict between the
- initialization routine for the Notebook Game Port adaptor and
- the memory configuration of a few machines, most notably
- ACERs. Using the FIXJOY.bat eliminates these problems.
-
- Some customers have still reported erratic behavior with
- certain joystick/gamecard/computer combinations. We have
- incorporated several fixes to our joystick code which we believe
- completely addresses all of these complaints.
-
- We would like to thank Bob Church for providing us with his
- source code for his joystick patches, which are justifiably
- famous among the Compuserve community. We would also like to
- thank Bob for the great help he gave us in testing this patch.
-
- If you continue to experience any problems, or if you have any
- questions concerning any of the above steps, our Technical Support
- Team will be more than happy to assist you.
