WORLD CUP GOLF - DORADO BEACH: Version 1.01 Demo version ------------------- WORLD CUP GOLF DEMO ------------------- This exclusive demo for World Cup Golf contains only one hole and all the front end options have been disabled. The complete game contains all 18 holes accurately modelled on the exclusive Dorado Beach golf resort. -------------------------- PROBLEMS WITH VESA DRIVERS -------------------------- World Cup Golf requires a VESA compliant graphics card in order to function correctly. Most modern graphics cards either support the VESA standard via built-in software or by using a specific driver which must be loaded before running World Cup Golf. We have provided a number of VESA drivers with the game which cover the most common graphics cards on the market. If World Cup Golf does not function correctly, you should run the driver corresponding to your graphics card from those provided. ------------------- USING A VESA DRIVER ------------------- (1) Determine which graphics card is fitted to your machine. If you have any doubts, contact the makers of your computer or U.S. Gold's Technical Support department. (2) Locate the correct VESA driver for your graphics card from those provided with the game. (3) If the VESA driver ends with the extensions COM or EXE, simply type the name of the driver to run it. e.g. IF the driver is called TLIVESA.EXE, type TLIVESA (4) If the VESA driver ends with the extension SYS, you will need to add a new line to your CONFIG.SYS file to run the driver. IF you are unsure of how how to do this, contact U.S. Gold's Technical Support department. (5) If no driver is provided for your graphics card, try the universal driver in the UNIVESA sub-directory. (6) If you still have problems or are unsure of any of the steps outlined above, please contact U.S. Gold's Technical Support department on 021-326-6418 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. ------- ADDENDA ------- Between producing the manual and finishing World Cup Golf, a few changes were made to the game. These feature and changes are not mentioned in the manual, so here are explanations for each of them. (1) Using The Review Player Menu (see chapter 5 - The Review Player Menu), you can only change handicap and clubs. (2) Using the practice facilities (see chapter 5 - Practice Facilities), the Play All Holes options has been removed. (3) An Autosave facility has now been implemented in the game to prevent you from losing the data from your current game in the event of a power cut or accidently switching off your machine. This facility will save your current game into the 10th savegame slot, which is marked with an '*', at the start of the next hole. You can now no longer save a game into the 10th slot manually but the game is re-loaded in the normal way. (4) Joystick control has been implemented for certain functions within the game. However, please note that Icons cannot be moved around the screen with the joystick and the Land LSI indicator cannot be used. (5) To accomodate the varying initialisation times of different CD-ROM drives we have included a Command-Line-Switch which allows you to alter the length of the pause between CD swaps. The pause time is currently set to 15 seconds but if you have a fast CD-ROM drive you may wich to reduce this time. Alternatively, if you have a very slow drive and experience problems during CD swapping, you may wish to lengthen the pause. To use the switch type CDGOLF to run the game, followed by a number between 5 and 200 for the number of seconds - e.g. CDGOLF 10 Tony Bourne, Q.C. Manager. November 19, 1994.
