Here are the latest informations about Flashback PC (05/13/93).
REQUIRED MEMORY:
You should have 570 KB (583680 bytes) of conventional memory with DOS
in order to benefit from the game's entire potential.
550 KB (563200 octets) with DOS is sufficient to play the game with
music and sound fx, but some cinematic scenes may be played without
music (note that you still can continue to play the game).
You still can play with only 513KB but without music and sound fx.
Once again, some cinematic scenes may be played without music.
With a minimum boot disk, you'll get :
With MS-DOS 5.00 572 KB available
With MS-DOS 4.01 567 KB available
With MS-DOS 3.30 577 KB available
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CACHE DISK UTILITY :
A cache disk utility is a good solution to improve disk read operations.
ABOUT WINDOWS :
You should not run Flashback from Windows. It may work... but much
slower than from DOS.
JOYSTICK:
If you don't have a joystick board, and you experienced that the
menu didn't work properly, you should set the Joystick option to
'disactivate joystick' using the install program.
If you have two different joystick ports on two different cards,
(ie : sound card and multi IO card) you should disable one for
the program to work properly.
SOUND FX AND SPEED :
Sound Blaster sound FX are less time consuming for the CPU than
AdLib ones.
If you have a slow machine and an AdLib board, you should set the
Sound FX option to 'AdLib Slow Machine' using the install program
(the sound quality is poorer but the game is smoother).
Finally, if your machine is really slow, 'No Sound FX' option is
recommended (the performance of your VGA board also determines
the final speed of the game).
MUSIC VOLUME :
You can increase or decrease music volume by pressing + and - keys
of the numpad.
Sound FX volume is constant.
