- !SpeedCtrl version 2.10
- ==========
-
- With some types of monitors, games will run faster than they were designed.
- !SpeedCtrl can be used on any RISC OS machine, and will slow down the
- video update - slowing down the game to the correct speed.
-
- If you are running your machine on a low resolution monitor or a TV, then
- there is no need for you to use !SpeedCtrl.
-
- To use !SpeedCtrl, simply:
-
- - double click on !SpeedCtrl to display the Speed Control Panel.
- Here you can select 'Full', 'Half', 'TV', or 'User defined' framerate.
-
- Most games have been designed to run at 50Hz, but many monitors run at 60Hz,
- 70Hz, 90Hz, and even 100Hz.
- You should consult your monitor manual to determine the framerate for
- Mode 13. Then select the appropriate option.
-
- For instance, if you are running Mode 13 at 100Hz, select 'Half Framerate'
- If you are running Mode 13 at 70Hz, select 'TV'.
-
- 'Full' and 'Half' framerates guarantee that the game runs perfectly smoothly.
- 'TV' and 'User defined' guarantee that it will run at a specified speed.
-
- - to disable !SpeedCtrl simply reload : Full framerate is the default selection.
-
- !SpeedCtrl is (C) Paradise 1998,1999,2000 but is freeware - so you may
- distribute it freely.
