- Epic MegaGames Sound System for Testing
- =======================================
-
- This is a test release of Epic's sound system. Please contact us if it
- doesn't work on your machine with your soundcard. Be sure to send full
- specs about your machine, including operating system, soundcard, soundcard
- version (PLAY2.EXE will display a number upon exit), machine speed, and
- loaded drivers.
-
- We ask for your participation in this. With your help, all future Epic
- products will run smoothly on a wider variety of soundcards and operating
- systems.
-
- ** NOTE THAT THESE DRIVERS WILL ALSO WORK WITH EPIC PINBALL 2.0 IF INSTALLED **
- ** INTO THE MAIN EPIC PINBALL DIRECTORY ***
-
- Thank you for your time.

- ==============================================
- What you need to do to make this software run.
- ==============================================
- The Music And Sound Interface, MASI, is the basis behind all new Epic games.
- MASI uses its own proprietary file format, PSM, for storing its music.
- Included with this archive is the file, CONVERT.EXE. This file will convert
- MODs and other formats to PSM files.
-
- Please try with all 3 PLAY programs and let us know the results.
-
- When running PLAY2.EXE, it is only important that you verify that the
- counter on the upper right on the screen is functioning. It is a VERY
- fast counter. The far right value should eventually become 2047 and
- the value directly left of it will be hard to read.
-
- Keyboard commands for PLAY.EXE and PLAY1.EXE:
- PLAY2.EXE's are similar.
