- MSDOS SILPHEED JOYSTICK FIX
-
- This S.EXE file has been modified to allow some of the faster IBM 286
- or 386 based machines to run Silpheed with their joysticks
- (Micro-Channel included). This new file will correct the symptom of
- the ship sinking to the lower right hand corner of the screen and not
- moving. The fire buttons will work, but you cannot move the ship. I
- recommend that you alter your BACKUP copies, or hard disk copy only!
-
- 1) Before proceeding make backups of your original game disk #1 if you
- are using the 3.5" disks or game disk #2 if you are using the 5.25"
- disks.
-
- 2) Insert this disk containing the S.EXE file in drive A.
-
- 3) Select and perform one of the following copy procedures.
-
- * For single floppy drive systems:
-
- a) Copy the S.EXE file to the backup game disk #1 or #2 (depending
- on the size of disks used).
-
- COPY S.EXE B: <Enter>
-
- b) When prompted to insert a disk in drive B, insert your backup
- game disk #1 or #2 in your drive and press <Enter>.
-
- * For dual floppy drive systems:
-
- a) Insert your backup game disk #1 or #2 in drive B.
-
- b) Change the logged drive to A.
-
- A: <Enter>
-
- c) Copy the S.EXE file to the backup game disk #1 or #2.
-
- COPY S.EXE B: <Enter>
-
- * For single or dual floppy drive systems with the game installed to
- hard drive:
-
- a) Change the logged drive to C. Substitute the correct drive
- letter if your hard drive is not drive C.
-
- C: <Enter>
-
- b) Change directory to the Silpheed subdirectory.
-
- CD\SIERRA\SILPHEED <Enter>
-
- c) Change the logged drive to A.
-
- A: <Enter>
-
- d) Copy the S.EXE file to the game subdirectory.
-
- COPY S.EXE C: <Enter>
-
- If your joystick still does not work at this point, rerun the INSTALL
- file on your disk #1, and re-install the game, making sure you
- highlight "YES" under the joystick selection. Also, be sure that you
- are also installing/using the appropriate modified disk.
