- Ultima 8: Pagan
- ---------------
-
- This simple patch will allow you to experience General MIDI
- music on your Sound Blaster AWE32 when you play Origin System's
- Ultima 8.
-
-
- <<Disclaimer>>
-
- The patch was developed by Creative Labs, Inc., and not by Origin
- Systems. The original release of Ultima 8 by Origin Systems did not
- have Sound Blaster AWE32 support, so Creative Labs has produced this
- patch for users who want to enjoy the Sound Blaster AWE32's MIDI
- capabilities with Ultima 8. Origin Systems holds no responsibility
- whatsoever in the distribution and usage of this patch. If you have
- any enquiries about this patch, please direct them to Creative Labs,
- Inc., and not to Origin Systems.

-
- <<Instructions on installing the patch>>
-
- To install the patch, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Copy the AILAWE32.DLL file into your \ULTIMA8 directory
-
- 2. Run INSTALL.EXE from your \ULTIMA8 directory.
-
- 3. When asked to select a Music Board, choose General MIDI.
- Indicate the correct MPU-401 address currently used by your
- Sound Blaster AWE32 card.
-
- 4. After the INSTALL.EXE program returns you to DOS, copy the AILAWE32.DLL
- file over the AILXMI.DLL file.
-
- Example: C:\ULTIMA8>copy AILAWE32.DLL AILXMI.DLL
-
- This will overwrite the file AILXMI.DLL (generated by the Ultima 8
- INSTALL program) with the AWE32 MIDI driver.
-
- Note: AILXMI.DLL does not need to be saved because it is created
- each time you run the Ultima 8 INSTALL.EXE program. If, at a
- later time, you wish to regenerate the original AILXMI.DLL
- file, simply run INSTALL.EXE again.
-
- Also, please note that whenever you run INSTALL.EXE and change
- the music settings, the AWE32-version of the AILXMI.DLL file
- will be overwritten by the AILXMI.DLL file generated by Ultima
- 8. Simply repeat step (4) and copy the AILAWE32.DLL file over
- the AILXMI.DLL file to re-enable Ultima 8 to use the AWE32's
- MIDI capabilities.
-
- 5. Launch Ultima 8 from DOS, sit back, and enjoy the AWE-some MIDI music
- from your Sound Blaster AWE32!
