- ===============
- 1) INSTALLATION
- ===============
-
- If you are upgrading from an earlier version, see the section 2 (below).
-
- Turn on your Series 5, press the System icon (bottom left of the
- screen), press the Menu key, under 'Tools' select 'Preferences',
- make sure that there is a tick next to 'show system folder' and click
- on 'OK'.
-
- Go into either C:\System\Apps\ or D:\System\Apps\
-
- From the menu, under 'File' select 'Make new folder' name it Psi-Jong.
-
-
- For a full installation (RECOMENDED) ...
-
- Copy all the files except README.TXT into this directory.
-
- -----------------
-
- If you wish to save space, then copy the following files...
-
- PSI-JONG.APP
- PSI-JONG.AIF
- SH-PREFS
- SH-DONE1
- SH-DONE2
- SH-DONE3
- SH-DONE4
- SH-DONE5
- SH-DONE6
- SH-DONE7
- SH-DONE8
- MAHJONGG.TLS
- FUN.TLS (optional but highly recomended)
- SHADOW.GFX
-
-
- If you wish to add extra tilesets, copy some or all of the other files ending
- with .TLS.
-
- If you wish to include sounds, copy some or all of the the files that are named
- with just 2 characters.
-
- If you wish to include background pictures, copy copy some or all of the files
- ending with .BGP
-
-
- -----------------
-
-
- Pressing the 'Extras' button (bottom right of screen) will now reveal
- this programs icon, select it to begin.
-
- If Psi-Jong does mot work, rename the Psi-Jong directory to a different name, wait a few moments, then rename it Psi-Jong again.
-
- If you have difficulty with installation, re-read and follow carefully
- the above instructions, you have probably put the files in the wrong place,
- or named the folder incorectly.
-
- If you install to C: and want to change to D: or vise versa, copy the Psi-Jong
- directory to the new location, delete the directory that you just copied from,
- then rename the new Psi-Jong directory to a different name, wait a few moments,
- then rename it Psi-Jong again. If you don't do this your Series 5 may get
- confused and look to the wrong device.
-
-
- ==================================
- 2) UPGRADING FROM EARLIER VERSIONS
- ==================================
-
- Install as per the installation instructions above, but do not replace the files
- begining with SH-DONE.
-
-
- =================
- 3) TROUBESHOOTING
- =================
-
- If you have a problem, check that your batteries are not low, and that there is
- plenty of memory available to the program. Sometimes the Series 5 fails to play
- sounds when batteries are becoming low, but are not quite low enough for the
- Series 5 to report them as low. If in doubt, change the batteries.
-
- Check that you have followed the installation instructions correctly.
-
- Check my web site to see if you are using the latest version of this program.
-
- HTTP://WWW.BJV.BTINTERNET.CO.UK/
-
-
- If you still have a problem after checking the above, send me an email, explaining
- the problem in as much detail as possible, stateing what machine you are running
- the program on, what version you are running, what files have been put where, at
- what point in the programs execution the error happened, and what error messages
- were given.
-
- My email address is BJV@BTINTERNET.COM
-
-
- ==============
- 4) HOW TO PLAY
- ==============
-
- Full instructions are included in the program.
-
-
- ===============
- 5) REGISTRATION
- ===============
- Full instructions on how to register and details of cost are given within the
- program, just select 'Register' from the menu, you will be asked a few questions
- to determine which method of registration best suites you, followed by full
- instructions to the method of registration selected.
-
- All my programs can be downloaded and registered via my website...
-
- HTTP://WWW.BJV.BTINTERNET.CO.UK/
-
- When you register you will receive a code that will enable this program to be
- used with your Series 5. The code is linked to the Unique ID of your Series 5,
- if for any reason a replacment code is required, one will be supplied free of
- charge. If you requre further codes for any reason (including changes in your
- Series 5's Unique ID due to repair, or to replace a lost code), you will need
- to register for the new Unique ID. You will recieve a new code, and again be
- entitled to a replacement code if needed.
-
- The above policy is necessary to minimise piracy, and to keep the amount of time
- spent dealing with each registration to an acceptable level, which in turn,
- enables me to keep the cost of registration low.
-
- It took a long time to write this program, I hope you like it and will register
- so that I can continue making more programs for your enjoyment.
-
- ================
- 6) MORE PROGRAMS
- ================
-
- The latest versions of all my programs can be downloaded from my web site
-
- HTTP://WWW.BJV.BTINTERNET.CO.UK/
-
- If you would like to be informed each time I release a new program, just
- register any of my programs, and unless you request otherwise, I will keep you
- informed via email of each new release.
-
-
-
- ======================================
- 7) ADDING YOUR OWN BACKGROUND PICTURES
- ======================================
-
- Enter the Sketch program on your Series 5, select from the menu under 'File',
- 'Create new file', give the file a name. Now select from the menu under 'Tools',
- 'Resize sketch', set the width to 433 pixels, and the height to 240 pixels.
-
- Now draw or merge in an image (under 'File' select 'More' then 'Merge in').
-
- The image should have a white background or it will not look good in Psi-Jong.
-
- Place the image in the centre of the sketch.
-
- Under 'Edit' select 'Select all'.
-
- Under 'File' select 'More' then 'Export', you must now name the file.
-
- IMPORTANT: The file name must end with .BGP
-
- Once you have created the file, copy it to your Psi-Jong directory, if Psi-Jong
- is running, you will need to close the program and then restart it before it
- will recognise the new background image.
-
- If you make a really good background picture, please email it to me, and I may
- put it on my web site for others to download, or include it in future releases
- of PSI-JONG.
-
-
- ================
- 8) FINAL COMMENT
- ================
-
- If there are any improvments you would like to see made to PSI-JONG please let
- me know, and I will consider the changes for future versions, but before
- contacting me, please check my web site to see that you have the latest version,
- as I may have already made the changes you desire.
-
- I hope that you will encorage me to write lots of new programs by registering.
- I am currently programing full time for the Series 5, and can only continue with
- your support.
-
-
- Best wishes,
-
-
- Ben Vaughan.
