*** 1.0 SOUND PROBLEMS ***
**************************************************************************
CRUSH! is designed to work with any Sound Blaster compatible sound
card. In order to get CRUSH! to detect your sound card, it must:
1) Be initialized
2) have the blaster environment variable set
( ie SET BLASTER = A<port address> I<irq> D<dma> H<high dma> )
If you are having trouble getting your sound card to work in CRUSH!,
check the above setting to ensure that they are properly set.
*NOTE - In Windows 95 the blaster environment variable is usually set by
your sound driver. In Windows 3.11, or DOS, the blaster environment
variable is set in the autoexec.bat.
CRUSH! has been tested successfully with the following sound cards:
Sound Blaster
Sound Blaster Pro
Sound Blaster 16
Sound Blaster AWE 32
Logitech Soundman Wave
Turtle Beach Tropez
Pro Audio Spectrum 16
**************************************************************************
*** 1.0 VESA PROBLEMS ***
**************************************************************************
CRUSH! runs in high resolution 640x400 256c video mode. As a
result you need to have a video card with a built in VESA BIOS extension
or a program, such as UNIVBE, that loads a VESA BIOS via software.
UNIVBE can be found on the web at: www.scitechsoft.com
If you are experiencing video problems with CRUSH! try downloading
and running a UNIVBE driver to fix the problem. In order for this to work
properly you first need to run UVCONFIG to set it up for your video card.
If this fixes the problem then you will need to run UNIVBE every time
before you run CRUSH!.
**************************************************************************
*** 1.0 MEMORY PROBLEMS ***
**************************************************************************
CRUSH! requires 8MB of RAM to run properly. It is also recommended
that you load smartdrv with at least 128K of cache in order to optimize
play speed. If you are getting an out of memory error, try creating a boot
disk to fix the problem. Below is a recommended config.sys, and autoexec.bat
that should work with CRUSH! if you have the required 8MB RAM.
<config.sys>
device = <path>himem.sys
device = <path>emm386.exe 8000 ram on
dos = high,umb
files = 30
<any sound card drivers that are needed, try loading high,
ie - devicehigh = <driverpathandfilename> >
<autoexec.bat>
<path>smartdrv 128 128
set blaster = a<port setting> i<irq> d<dma> h<high dma - for 16 bit>
This configuration should run CRUSH! perfectly.
