Install the EMX runtime library:
unzip the emxrt.zip and follow the instructions in the file
emx\doc\emxrt.doc (text file) or use the OS/2 help viewer to read
emx\book\emxrt.inf (recommended).
Install the joystick driver:
Add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file, which assumes you
installed to the default path:
device=d:\<billybetadir>\sys\gamedd.sys
Be sure to replace d: with the letter of drive with the billy
beta. The driver will take effect next time you reboot your system.
Install DART and DIVE:
DART (Direct Audio RouTines) contains system calls for sound.
DIVE (Direct Interface Video Extension) contains system calls
for manipulating the screen.
DART and DIVE are already installed in Warp 4 and should NOT
be reinstalled.
This installation is not official, perfect or guaranteed to
work. It is how I installed DART and DIVE on my own machine (as far as
I remember). I would like to hear some feedback on this if you know
better. Anyway: If you backup files you overwrite you can always copy
them back, so your system won't be harmed in any way.
If you don't know wether DART is installed on your machine try
to look at the files ampmxmcd.dll and audiosh.dll in \mmos2\dll on
your boot drive. if the sizes of the files are 544 and 532 bytes, you
don't have it installed.
I don't know how to check if you have updated your DIVE, but
you can try the included dive.dll.
all three files are located in d:\<billybetadir>\sys\ and
should be copied into your \mmos2\dll.
Install the VESA-DLLs:
make sure ";d:\<billybetadir>" or "." is in your libpath in your
config.sys, or copy the VESA_*.DLLs files to a directory in your
existing LIBPATH. "emx\dll" is the official place for the VESA_*.DLLs
since they are a contribution to EMX. Be sure to (re)move existing
VESA*.DLL files from the directories mentioned in your libpath. Also
append "SET VESADLL=VESA_PM" to your config.sys. You can set it
to 3 different .DLLs: VESA_PM.DLL, VESA_DIV.DLL or VESA_ALL.DLL. Read
about them in the readme.txt.
If you want, you can move the DIVESCR.EXE and PMSCREEN.EXE to
"emx\bin" since they really belong here.
