------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 12:06:22 GMT From: rdippold@cancun.qualcomm.com (Ron Dippold) Message-Id: Subject: GUS Compatability List 1.03 To: Ultrasound Daily Digest GUS Tested Programs Compatability List V1.03 Jan 8, 1993 Send updates to rdippold@qualcomm.com. This is a list of compatibility settings for the Gravis Ultrasound card. I have not personally verified all of these, most of them are submitted to me by other GUS owners. Your results may vary. Nor is this a list of all programs that will run with the GUS - this is just a list of those that have been tested by those who sent me mail. It is for the purpose of helping GUS owners run a program without hunting for the appropriate options. The "Version" indicates the version of SBOS that the program was tested with. 1.23 is a new beta from Gravis. Please note the new "Most Wanted" section at the bottom of programs which just don't seem to want to work. Please check all 16 combinations of settings ( -o= none, 1, 2, 3 and -x= none, 1, 2, 3) before submitting it as a "won't work." Things are now arranged in a hierarchical fashion. If you manage to "promote" anything up the hierarchy, please let me know ASAP. Ditto if you notice a problem with a game running with an old version of SBOS that no longer occurs with a new version.
