WICKED README FILE ======================================================================== Installation Instructions Installation of this product is optional. The movie chapters can be played from the CD- ROM using either the Starware interface, "Wicked.exe", or from our generic movie player, "Starplay.exe". To choose one of these options just double click on the file from the Windows File Manager. If you wish to install this product on your hard drive run "SetupB.exe". Either by double clicking on the file name in the File Manager or entering the file name when prompted after selecting "run" from the File pull down menu of the File Manager. This will install Quicktime for Windows onto your hard drive and create a program group in your Program Manager with icons representing both the generic and Wicked players. This will take up approximately 2 Meg on your hard drive Running "Setup.exe" will install the program group and icons without putting Quicktime on your hard drive. ======================================================================== System Requirements To play Wicked you should have a minimum of a 386 CPU with super VGA (8-bit (256 color)) or better graphics, a sound card, Microsoft Windows 3.X , DOS 5.0 (or higher), a CD-ROM drive and a mouse. A minimun of 4 megabytes of RAM is recommended. For viewing digital video a "Hi Color" (16-bit (64,000) color) video adapter is recommended. An 8-bit display also looks okay. The release of QuickTime for Windows included with Betrayal is optimized for 16-bit video. ======================================================================== Helpful Hints Movie Quality The quality of a Starware movie depends a lot on a computer's configuration. Having the fastest computer does not guarantee the highest quality movie. For example, a slow CD- ROM drive or a slow video adapter will degrade the quality even on the fastest computer. Starware has taken great care to provide you with top quality movie that is playable on a wide range of computers. Hints for Improving Movie Quality 1. If you are running Windows in a high resolution mode (800x600 or 1024x768), temporarily lower it to 640x480. This will greatly improve the movie quality providing smoother motion. It will also increase the size of the movie. 2. Changing the color depth will also have profound effects. Running Windows in a 256 color mode provides good performance but only adequate picture quality. Running in 24- bit(16 million) color provides excellent picture quality but increases jerky motion. The best color depth is either 15-bit(32,000 colors) or 16-bit(65,000 colors), usually referred to as Hi-color. Hi-color mode provides the best picture quality and video performance for running Starware movies. ======================================================================== Starware As an added bonus, we have included a number of movie clips that have a larger frame size and greater frame rate. These movies have a greater data rate and may need to be copied to your hard drive. Use our generic movie player as outlined in the above instructions to play these movies. We at Starware publishing are dedicated to bringing the highest quality in adult entertainment. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call our customer support center at (305) 426-4552.
