This step-by-step installation is for people that don't have the AmigaDOS
Installer program, or if you like to install programs by hand.
1. If you have an old version of GMS, DELETE IT. Do not attempt to install
this version of GMS over an old version.
2. Move the new GMS/ directory to the same position as your old GMS
directory, or if you are a new user, store it on a safe place on your
hard-drive.
3. New users must assign GMS: to the main directory. This is a standard
assignment that *must* be available or else you will not be able to run
anything. To make it a permanent assignment, put it in your
S:user-startup.
Example:
Assign GMS: HD1:System/GMS/
4. Reboot your amiga to make the GMS: assignment active, or open a shell
and make the GMS: assignment if that suits you better.
5. Run GMS:Utils/GMSPrefs/GMSPrefs, setup the screen settings to suit your
machine and save it as the default. If you have OCS/ECS you must set the
chipset option correctly, as the default is AGA which could crash these
older machines.
To run the demos, just open a shell window, CD to the GMS:Demos/ directory
and execute them. If they don't work, then there is either not enough
chip ram available, they can't find the GMS: assign, or the data files
are missing. Most require some sort of joystick or mouse activity if you
are to see anything happen.
If you have any problems with the executables, the developers archive
contains IceBreaker, which can tell you what is going wrong.
Demos support Left-Amiga + M screen switching.
