│ Ultima VII - The Black Gate Installation Notes │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Writen by Dalgor
Note: The first release of this game had disks missing the volume labels, and
therefore, the install would crash! The disks are quite simply labeled by the
disk number (ie. 1, 2, and so on. Only 1 character). There are no sub-dir's
on any of the disks, just zip files. This should solve any problems currently
with installing the game at this time!
To install Ultima VII, insert disk 1 into drive A or B, then switch to that
drive (ie. a: [enter]). Then type 'Install'. The install program will ask
you for the destination drive and type of sound card being used. Then the
game is installed to the desired drive.
Note: Ultima VII requires EXTENDED memory. Therefore any Expanded Memory
Managers (ie. DesqView, Emm386) must be removed from memory to play. Ultima
VII uses the VooDoo memory manager created by Origin Systems. VooDoo can
co-exist with HiMem.Sys. It is suggested you make a boot disk with Dos, an
autoexec.bat to load the game, and a config.sys with the following:
Files = 25
Buffers = 25
Device = c:\mouse\mouse.sys (or whatever!)
This will ensure the maximum amount of free memory for the game to run under.
Also, Ultima VII has been found to run better under some form of disk caching.
If the disk cache used also caches the floppy drive, disable the floppy caching
for increased efficiency. The install program can be run again at any time
from the Ultima7 root directory to modify the setup (ie. when buying a new sound
card, etc...)
To Play Ultima VII, change directory to the Ultima 7 dir and type 'Ultima7'.
