- Rebel Assault 1.8 Patch Disk
-
- This patch is intended to fix "Unexpected Interrupt"
- errors, joystick jumpiness, running on dark monitors,
- running sound cards at dma 0, and some dos extender
- incompatibilities.
-
- 1) Unexpected Interrupts
-
- To fix Unexpected Interrupt errors that occur on some
- machines when running Rebel Assault version 1.0,
- this patch includes version 1.8 of DOS4GW,
- which will be copied into the REBEL\ directory on your
- C: drive. This replaces version 1.92, which shipped
- with Rebel Assault 1.0. Version 1.8 seems more
- compatible with some machines. However, if you have
- new problems after installing this patch, you can
- copy DOS4GW.EXE from your CD and run the patch as
- directed to take advantage of the joystick fix only.
-
- 2) Joystick Patch
-
- To fix joystick jumpiness, this patch includes a new
- version of ASSAULT.EXE, which will be copied to the
- REBEL\ directory on your C: drive. In addition, the
- joystick shooting controls have been made less
- sensitive.
-
- If you still have joystick problems, make sure only
- one joystick port is enabled on your machine,
- preferably the one on your sound card. Also, center
- the trimmer adjustments on your joystick to make sure
- you are using its full range of movement.
-
- 3) Brightness controls
-
- In addition, the new ASSAULT.EXE contains a brightness
- control, which you can access during the game with the
- '.' and ',' keys.
-
- 4) Running with more that 16 Megabytes of memory
-
- This disk also contains DOS4GW version 1.95, which
- may fix problems running Rebel on some machines with
- more than 16 megabytes of memory. Install this version
- by typing "rebel2" as described below. If this still
- does not work, contact technical support (below).
-
- 5) Installing
-
- To install ASSAULT.EXE and DOS4GW 1.8
-
- From the floppy, type INSTALL.
-
- To install ASSAULT.EXE and DOS4GW 1.95
-
- From the floppy, type INSTALL2.
-
- 6) Running the game with the patch.
-
- Now in the future, run the game by typing 'REBEL'
- from the REBEL\ directory on your C: drive,
- NOT from your CD drive.
-
- 7) Making a boot disk.
-
- This patch disk contains BOOTDISK.EXE, a utility which makes a boot
- disk for running Rebel Assault. After installing this patch, start the
- boot disk maker by typing 'BOOTDISK' from the DOS prompt. Be sure to have
- a blank floppy disk for your 'A' drive ready.
-
- We would like to hear from you if this works correctly.
- Please feel free to drop us note via fax or mail telling us how it worked
- for you. We appreciate all of your help with this.
