SECTION 2 -- INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Note: The following examples assume that you are using floppy drive A:,
hard drive C: and CD-ROM drive D:. If not, substitute all references with
the appropriate drive letters.
First, check the hard drive using CHKDSK. Type C: <ENTER>. Then,
type CHKDSK <ENTER>. If CHKDSK finds any problems you will
need to correct them using CHKDSK /F or SCANDISK before installing
Baseball æ94. Consult your DOS manual for additional information on
using CHKDSK or SCANDISK.
Then, insert Disk #1 or the CD into the appropriate drive. For the floppy
disk version, type A: <ENTER>. For the CD version, type D:
<ENTER>. Then type INSTALL <ENTER> and follow the on screen
instructions. In the event that you experience problems with computer
lock-ups or read errors during installation, try typing INSTALL /F /M
<ENTER> to begin the install process. Should problems persist, please
see the enclosed manual installation directions.
SECTION 3 -- BASEBALL '94 COMMON PROBLEMS
PROBLEM: You type PLAYBALL and get a message stating that you do
not have enough available memory to play the game.
SOLUTION: Verify that your system has 4 MB of RAM, which is the
minimum requirement to run Baseball '94. If you do, make a boot disk
using the utility in the INSTALL program or the instructions included in
this document, to free up sufficient memory to play the game.
PROBLEM: The game locks up while using the PC internal speaker for
sound reproduction.
SOLUTION: The music and sound effects in Baseball '94 are too
complicated for the PC speaker to produce. Therefore, if you do not have
a sound card with DAC capability, you will not get any sound with the
game. If you do not have a sound card installed on your system and you
choose to auto-detect the sound card in SOUNDSET, the driver it
chooses will be "Sound Source PC". The game will lock up soon after
typing PLAYBALL with this driver enabled. Choose "No Sound Card
Driver" and the game will run fine.
PROBLEM: When beginning a simulation of a game with at least one
computer controlled team, you receive the message "Assertion Failure:
GAMESET C: XXX".
SOLUTION: This problem is caused when an injured player is in the lineup.
Release a player from the AAA team to make room for the injured player.
If this does not correct the problem, it will be fixed by the update patch.
Please see Section 7 -- Obtaining a Sierra Patch for help with this process.
PROBLEM: Upon starting, or during play of the game you receive the error
"EMM386 Error #12".
SOLUTION: Run a hard disk utility such as SCANDISK or CHKDSK /F to
check for any errors on the hard drive. If any are found, delete and re-
install Baseball '94. If the problem still persists, make a boot disk and
add the line "STACKS=18,512" to the CONFIG.SYS file.
PROBLEM: At the end of a game, you get an error stating
"GAMEOUT.CPP..."
SOLUTION: Upon occasion, the files that update player and team statistics
following a game will become corrupted. Delete the gameout files from
the game directory and replay the game. To do this, type DEL
GAME*.OUT inside of the game directory. Then, type DELTREE
GAME*, to delete any temporary directories. Usually, replaying the
game will correct the problem.
PROBLEM: At the start of a game, you receive the error
"LU_START.CPP:558". Often, you have just recently made a player
trade.
SOLUTION: This error indicates that not all slots in the batting order are
properly filled. If you have recently traded a starter, make sure to replace
him in the lineup! The update patch for the game will prevent this error
from occurring. Please see Section 7 -- Obtaining a Sierra Patch.
PROBLEM: Upon starting the game, you receive an error stating
"PALETTE.CPP".
SOLUTION: These errors occur when the game is not properly installed or
when program files become corrupted. First, run a hard disk utility such
as SCANDISK or CHKDSK /F to find and fix any hard drive errors.
Then, delete and re-install the game. Make certain that the BBCHECK
procedure runs without problems at the end of the installation procedure.
PROBLEM: When the batter hits the ball, the screen blanks out.
SOLUTION: Your system is having difficulty switching between the
different video resolutions of the batter-pitcher interface screen and the
fielding screen. While both resolutions are standard VGA modes, certain
video chipsets and monitors will experience this hangup. The update
patch disk fixes this problem. Please see Section 7 - Obtaining a Sierra
Patch.
PROBLEM: During a game, you receive the message "SIM: Assertion
Failed: main\earnedr.c:226 ()".
SOLUTION: The file handling the game in progress has become corrupted.
Deleting the game in progress and replaying will solve this. To do this,
restart Baseball '94. When asked to "Play/Watch, Save for Later, or
Simulate" the game, select "Save for Later". Then, from the Main Menu,
hold down the <CTRL> key and press <G>. In the menu that appears,
highlight the corrupted game and select "Do/Delete" to delete it. Finally,
restart the game from either the Association Menu or the Team Schedule.
The problem should not occur again.
PROBLEM: You cannot execute a "double switch" in the game without
getting a "Roster2" or "Assertion Failed" error message.
SOLUTION: This problem is fixed by the update patch, BB102. Please see
Section 7 - Obtaining a Sierra Patch Disk.
PROBLEM: The cameras in the game will not stop panning left (or right).
SOLUTION: This is most likely caused by improper joystick calibration.
Press the 'J' key and re-calibrate your joystick(s).
PROBLEM: The ZIPASN batch file will not work.
SOLUTION: In order to use the ZIPASN utility, you must have copies of the
PKZip and PKUnzip file compression utilities, both produced by PKWare
and available for download off of most BBS systems and on-line services.
Ensure that you have the PKZip and PKUnzip executable files in a sub-
directory that is included in your PATH= statement. To verify this, type
PATH and press enter from the DOS command prompt. Check to see if
either of these file are located in at least one of the directories shown in the
path. If you prefer, you can put a copy of each PKWare file in the
baseball sub-directory.
PROBLEM: The computer has placed Barry Bonds at catcher!
SOLUTION: The logic of the game attempts to place the nine best all-around
players on the field. If the offensive value of a player is sufficiently
greater than any other player, it may offset any defensive liabilities of
placing that player out of position. The game logic has been revised in the
update patch, BB102, to make this less common. Please see Section 7 -
Obtaining a Sierra Patch Disk.
SECTION 4 -- SOUND ISSUES
Baseball '94 supports a variety of different sound cards. The game's
sound and music configuration is set up through a program called
SOUNDSET in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory. The
SOUNDSET program is run automatically when you first install the
game, but you can run it again at any time to change the sound card
configuration. If you are having any kind of sound problems during the
game, Sierra recommends that you run the SOUNDSET program and
choose your sound card and settings manually instead of letting the
program auto-detect them. The auto-detect occasionally detects the sound
card incorrectly, especially with cards that rely on Sound Blaster
"compatibility" or "emulation", and this can cause problems within the
game.
PROBLEM: You don't get sound through the PC speaker.
SOLUTION: The music and sound effects in Baseball '94 are too
complicated for the PC speaker to produce. Therefore, if you do not have
a sound card with DAC capability, you will not get any sound in the
game. In all other respects, however, the game should perform fine.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have a sound card installed on your
system and you choose to "auto-detect" the sound card in SOUNDSET,
the driver it chooses will be "Sound Source PC". The game will lock up
soon after typing PLAYBALL with this driver enabled. Choose "No
Sound Card Driver" and the game will run fine.
PROBLEM: The game either locks up or fails to play sounds while using a
MAD16 sound card in Sound Blaster emulation mode.
SOLUTION: Use the MAD16's Windows Sound System emulation mode
instead. Make a boot disk and manually add the following lines to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT on the boot disk:
SET MAD16=C:\MAD16
C:\MAD16\M16INIT /B /M
Next, reboot the computer with the boot disk in drive A: and re-run the
SOUNDSET utility in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL directory. Use the
"detect your sound card" option: it should show Microsoft Sound System,
running at DMA 1 and port address 530h. Save the settings and start the
game. PLEASE NOTE: The suggested alterations to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file are default settings only and may vary with your
particular system. For more information, please consult your sound card
documentation.
PROBLEM: Lockups or no sound while using other sound cards that use
some form of INIT.EXE file , (eg. SNDINIT.EXE, ISPINIT.EXE, etc...)
to set your sound emulation mode. You should check your sound card
documentation to see if your sound card uses one of these initialization
files. These sound initialization files are in the directory where your
sound card files are located.
SOLUTION: Look in your AUTOEXEC.BAT on your C drive for the lines
that belong to your sound card. Example:
SET (SOUND, M16, ISP16, etc...)=C:\(path to your sound card files
directory)
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
C:\(path to your sound card files directory)\(some type of XXinit.exe file
name) /B /M
Add these lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk. Reboot the
computer using the boot disk. Run SOUNDSET in the
\SIERRA\BASEBALL directory and choose Microsoft Sound System for
the sound driver (DMA 1, PORT 530, IRQ may be blank). Save the
settings and start the game.
PROBLEM: Lockups or no sound while using an Ensoniq Soundscape
sound card.
SOLUTION: This sound card is not supported by Baseball '94. You will
need to re-run SOUNDSET and choose "No Sound Card Driver". The
game will run fine, but without sound.
PROBLEM: You do not get any sound in the game with a Creative Labs
Sound Blaster 16, while using a boot disk.
SOLUTION: The boot disk make will occasionally miss some lines necessary
to configure the SB16 properly. Using a text editor, make certain that the
following lines appear in the files below on the boot disk. PLEASE
NOTE: The following lines are for default configuration of the Sound
Blaster 16 and may vary with your particular system. Please consult your
sound card documentation for further information.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P300 T6
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
C:\SB16\SB16SET /P /Q
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /BLASTER:A220 I5 D1 /UNIT:0
PROBLEM: You do not get sound in the game while using a sound card
other than the ones listed above, running a boot disk.
SOLUTION: As with the sound cards discussed above, lines may have been
omitted from the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. Section 9 -
Sound Card Driver Information contains a list of common sound cards
and the lines for the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS.
PROBLEM: After making changes with SOUNDSET, the game still hangs
up or fails to make proper sounds.
SOLUTION: It is possible that the game configuration file was not properly
modified to reflect any changes that you made in SOUNDSET. To ensure
that changes take place, use a text editor to modify the RESOURCE.CFG
file (located in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory). Delete all
information below the line "[SoundFX]" line. Save your changes and re-
run the SOUNDSET utility. Any changes in SOUNDSET will now be
properly reflected in RESOURCE.CFG.
SECTION 5 - GAME PLAY TIPS
Technical Support has limited information regarding Baseball '94 strategy
and game play hints. This section contains answers to some frequently-
asked questions. For additional game play information, Sierra
recommends the Baseball '94 documentation and on-line forums.
CompuServe and America On-Line have active forums where you can
obtain valuable information from your fellow baseball fans!
QUESTION: How do I make camera angle changes during Instant Replays
affect camera angles during game play?
ANSWER: The default camera mode can only be modified while a play is
in progress. The default camera mode is the one that will be recorded to
tapes.
QUESTION: You cannot put an injured player on the disabled list.
ANSWER: Players can only be put on the DL when they are considered
seriously hurt. Check the Team News to see the extent of a player's
injuries.
QUESTION: Can I get a printout of all the statistical abbreviations used in
the game?
ANSWER: The DATAIN help document can be printed to paper or file. It
includes a complete listing of the data entry fields.
QUESTION: How can I make the stats screen in the association menu
display ALL batters' averages?
ANSWER: This is set by the Qualifiers option in the Select Players dialog
box. Players without sufficient playing time to qualify for the League lead
in batting categories will not have their batting average computed unless
the "All Players" option is chosen instead of the "Qualifiers" option.
QUESTION: How can I change the stats of individual players to reflect their
real stats?
ANSWER: You may edit individual players any time they are on a team.
Simply go to the Team/Roster screen and Show either the Position Players
or Pitchers roster. Then double-click the player name to access the Player
Data Edit screen.
QUESTION: How can I save different "views" or column combinations, so
I don't have to go through the "Change Column" procedure to view
different sets of stats?
ANSWER: You cannot. While you may customize the view of statistic
information with the "Change Column" procedure, these changes may not
be saved as default settings.
QUESTION: How can I see a "League Leaders" report similar to FPSFB
Pro?
ANSWER: Go to Association/Statistics and choose Show/Players.
QUESTION: How can I get the players to run out their ground balls instead
of head for the dugout halfway down the baseline?
ANSWER: Players will not run through a base unless they are within 20 feet
of that base when the putout is made.
QUESTION: How can I speed up the simulation?
ANSWER: The simulation engine for this game is very resource-intensive.
Every movement of the ball in the stadium must be simulated, with wind,
weather, air resistance, spin and force vectors applied to it. This results in
an astronomical number of calculations to recreate even one game.
With Football Pro '95, there is a "FASTSIM" mode where game results
are generated without stats, but that is not an option for Baseball where
stats are much more important. To maximize performance of the game,
use MS DOS SmartDrive disk caching and avoid using disk compression
or software shells. Other than technical solutions, there are no ways to
speed up the simulation.
We suggest you balance shorter seasons and/or smaller associations
between player development and season replay needs. If player
development is a prime concern, go with an association size that will
provide you with the most seasons in the quickest amount of time.
QUESTION: Why do wins that should have gone to the starting pitcher go to
the closer?
ANSWER: Rule 10.19 covers the winning and losing pitchers.
Section (a) states:
"Credit the starting pitcher with a game won only if he has pitched at least
five complete innings and his team not only is in the lead when he is
replaced but remains in the lead the remainder of the game."
Section (c) states:
"When the starting pitcher cannot be credited with the victory because of
the provisions of 10.19 (a) or (b) and more than one relief pitcher is used,
the victory shall be awarded on the following basis:
(1) When, during the tenure of the starting pitcher, the winning team
assumes the lead and maintains it to the finish of the game, credit the
victory to the relief pitcher judged by the scorer to have been the most
effective;
(2) The winning relief pitcher shall be the one who is the pitcher of record
when his team assumes the lead and maintains it to the finish of the game.
EXCEPTION: Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who is ineffective
in a brief appearance, when a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively
in helping his team maintain the lead. In such cases, credit the succeeding
relief pitcher with the victory."
SECTION 6 -- OBTAINING A SIERRA PATCH DISK
There are currently two patches available for Baseball '94, BB101 and
BB102. BB102 updates your game to version 1.02, and corrects all
issues addressed in BB101. BB102 enhances game logic to provide more
realistic simulations and has some new game features. Please refer to the
README.BAT file for a full outline of all that it covers.
Some of the issues addressed by the BB102 patch include:
Adjustments to bat speed in the game logic to reduce unrealistic
power hitting statistics.
Problems with releasing starting players after the September roster
expansion.
Errors caused by executing a snap throw with the catcher to first
base.
Adjustments to the player trade logic to promote equitable trades.
The fastest way to obtain a Sierra patch is to download it from one of the
following on-line services: the Sierra BBS (206-644-0112), CompuServe
(GO SIERRA) or America On-Line (KEYWORD SIERRA). The file
name is BB102.EXE and is a self-extracting archive file. Place the file in
an empty subdirectory, change to that subdirectory and type BB102
<ENTER>. The README.BAT file will provide further information
regarding installation.
You can request to have a patch sent to you by faxing Sierra Technical
Support at (206) 644-7697 or writing to Sierra On-Line Patch Disks,
Dept. 10, PO Box 485, Coarsegold CA 93614-0485. Distribution of
patch disks by this method will take approximately three weeks for order
processing.
SECTION 7 - BOOT DISK INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please read the entire instructions prior to
starting at Step 1. You can skip Steps 3 and 4 if
you are not playing the CD version of Front Page Sports: Baseball '94.
STEP 1
FORMATTING THE DISK
To make a boot disk, format a high density diskette in the A: drive. (It is
necessary to reformat the disk if it is already formatted.) Formatting the
disk with the /S switch will transfer the system files to the disk and
allow the computer to boot up correctly. The disk must be in the A: drive;
the computer will not boot from the B: drive. Type the FORMAT
command as follows:
FORMAT A: /S <ENTER>
If you get a "Bad command or file name" error message, type:
PATH=C:\DOS <ENTER>
Then retype the FORMAT command above. If you receive the error
again, the MS-DOS FORMAT command may not be on your system, or it may
have been renamed. Programs such as PC Tools and Norton Disk Utilities
sometimes rename the FORMAT command to prevent accidental loss of data.
If you are using a program of this type, check your
documentation to find out how to format a SYSTEM DISK, then proceed
to Step 2.
STEP 2
LOCATING THE MOUSE DRIVER
Sierra highly recommends that you use a mouse with Baseball '94. The
mouse driver must be loaded into memory with the boot disk. There are
two kinds of mouse drivers available: those that load in the CONFIG.SYS
file and those that load in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. CONFIG.SYS mouse
drivers have an extension of .SYS (MOUSE.SYS) and
AUTOEXEC.BAT drivers have either a .COM or .EXE extension
(MOUSE.COM, MOUSE.EXE). You must load at least one of these drivers,
but it is not necessary to load them all.
If you do not know where the mouse drivers are located on your system,
the command below should help you locate them. Type the following at
the C:\ prompt:
DIR MOUSE* /S <ENTER>
This command will cause the system to search all subdirectories for a file
called MOUSE. If the system locates a MOUSE file, it will display the
path where the file is located. For example, if the MOUSE.COM file is
located in a C:\MOUSE directory, the system will display:
Directory of C:\MOUSE
MOUSE.SYS 55160 03-10-92 3:10a
MOUSE.COM 56408 03-10-03 6:00a
If this procedure does not locate a MOUSE file, your mouse driver may
have a different name. Some common names for mouse drivers are IMOUSE,
GMOUSE and HPMOUSE. You should check your mouse documentation for the
exact file names and how to install them.
Once you have located the mouse driver, you must copy it to the boot
disk. The following example assumes that the mouse drivers are located
in the C:\MOUSE directory as shown in the step above. To copy the MOUSE
files to the boot disk, type:
COPY C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.* A: <ENTER>
Substitute the appropriate path and file names for your mouse drivers in
the command above. After you press ENTER, you should see a message
indicating that some files were copied.
STEP 3
LOCATING THE CD ROM DEVICE DRIVER (skip if not playing the CD version)
The CD ROM drive requires a device driver loaded in the CONFIG.SYS
file. This driver must be loaded correctly or you will be unable to
access your CD ROM drive. To make sure that the device driver loads
correctly on the boot disk, look at the CONFIG.SYS on the hard drive
and copy the driver line from there. At the C:\ prompt, type:
TYPE CONFIG.SYS|MORE
NOTE: The | is called a "pipe" command and is created by pressing
<SHIFT> <BACKSLASH>.
The CONFIG.SYS file will display on the screen. Look for the line that
loads the CD ROM device driver. The line should look something like this:
DEVICE=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
DEVICEHIGH /L:14652 =C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
The device driver in your CONFIG.SYS may differ slightly from those
listed above. Carefully write down the line for use in your boot disk.
Leave out the "/L:" information, if any. If the "HIGH" in "DEVICEHIGH" is
missing, add it. Any of the above CD ROM device lines would appear as
follows:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
NOTE: If you have a SCSI CD ROM drive, there may be an additional
driver in your CONFIG.SYS that must be loaded for the CD ROM device
drivers to load correctly. Check your CD drive documentation for more
information.
STEP 4
LOCATING THE MSCDEX CD ROM EXTENSION (skip if not playing the CD version)
In addition to the CD ROM device driver in the CONFIG.SYS, your CD
ROM drive requires MSCDEX, the Microsoft extension for CD ROM drives.
If this extension is not loaded correctly in the AUTOEXEC.BAT, you will be
unable to access your CD ROM drive. To make sure that MSCDEX loads
correctly on the boot disk, look at the AUTOEXEC.BAT on the hard drive and
copy the MSCDEX line from there. At the C:\ prompt, type:
TYPE AUTOEXEC.BAT|MORE <ENTER>
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file will display on the screen. Look for the line
that loads the MSCDEX extension. It should look something like this:
C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001
LOADHIGH /L:14429 C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001
The MSCDEX line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT may differ slightly from
the ones above. Carefully write down the line for use in your boot disk.
Leave out the "/L:" information, if any. If the "LH" is missing from the
beginning of the MSCDEX line, add it now. If the "/:E" switch is missing
from the end of the line, add it. For example, any of the above
lines will appear on your boot disk as follows:
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /:E
STEP 5
LOCATING THE SOUND CARD DRIVERS
Many sound cards have drivers or initialization lines that must be loaded
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. Some sound cards that require these
drivers or initialization routines are the SoundBlaster 16, MAD16 and the
Aria 16.
Section 9 - Sound Card Driver Information contains a list of
sound card lines for many common sound cards. Check to see if your
sound card is on the list. If it is, add the appropriate lines to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS on your boot disk. If your sound card is
not on the list, check your documentation for information on what needs to
load in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS.
STEP 6
CREATING THE CONFIG.SYS FILE
To create the CONFIG.SYS file on the boot disk, switch to the A: drive
and type the following:
COPY CON CONFIG.SYS <ENTER> (the cursor will drop down one line and blink)
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS <ENTER>
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 1024 <ENTER>
DOS=HIGH,UMB <ENTER>
FILES=30 <ENTER>
BUFFERS=20 <ENTER>
If you are using the MOUSE.SYS file to load your mouse, add the
following line to the CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICEHIGH=A:\MOUSE.SYS <ENTER>
If you're playing the CD version of Betrayal at Krondor,
add the CD ROM device driver as you wrote it down in the "Locating the CD ROM
Device Driver" section. For example:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DRV\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220 <ENTER>
If you need to load any sound card drivers, copy them from the "Sound
Cards" section now. The following example lines are for the SoundBlaster 16:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 <ENTER>
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMM.SYS <ENTER>
Complete the file by pressing <F6> <ENTER>.
STEP 7
CREATING THE AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
To create the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the boot disk, switch to the A:
drive and type the following:
COPY CON AUTOEXEC.BAT <ENTER> (the cursor will drop down one line and blink)
@ECHO OFF <ENTER>
C:\ <ENTER>
SET COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM <ENTER>
PROMPT SIERRA BOOT DISK $_$P$G <ENTER>
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS;C:\SIERRA <ENTER>
If you are using the MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE file to load your
mouse driver, add the appropriate line:
LH A:\MOUSE.EXE <ENTER>
If you're playing the CD version, add the MSCDEX line as you write it down
in the "Locating the MSCDEX CD ROM Extension" section. For example:
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 <ENTER>
If you need to run any sound card initialization programs or load any
drivers, copy them from the "Sound Cards" section now. The following
example lines are for the SoundBlaster 16:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T6 <ENTER>
SET SOUND=C:\SB16 <ENTER>
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E <ENTER>
C:\SB16\SB16SET /M:220 /VOC:220 /CD:220 /MIDI:220 /LINE:220 <ENTER>
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S <ENTER>
Complete the file by pressing <F6> <ENTER>.
STEP 8
REBOOT THE SYSTEM AND START THE GAME
Reboot your system by pressing the <RESET> button on your computer
or by using the <CTRL> <ALT> <DELETE> key sequence on your keyboard.
Refer to your game documentation for the steps to start the game.
SECTION 8 - MANUAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Under some circumstances, the installation routine for Baseball '94 will
not work properly. This is most likely caused by a conflict with
memory-resident programs, such as an anti-virus utilities. If you are
experiencing lockups or disk read errors during the install process,
the following manual installation instructions will allow you to manually
copy the game files from the source disks, or CD, to the hard drive.
MANUAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISK VERSION
1. Run CHKDSK to verify that you have at least 21 MB of free non-compressed
hard drive space. If your system uses disk compression, such as DriveSpace
or Stacker, you need 42 MB free.
2. Create a SIERRA directory on you hard disk's root directory and a
BASEBALL subdirectory inside of it. To do this, type:
MD \SIERRA <ENTER>
CD \SIERRA <ENTER>
MD BASEBALL <ENTER>
CD BASEBALL <ENTER>
MD STATS <ENTER>
MD ASSN <ENTER>
3. Copy all of the files from each disk into the \SIERRA\BASEBALL
subdirectory. To do this, follow the steps below:
Insert Game Disk #1 into your A: drive.
Type: COPY A:*.* C:\SIERRA\BASEBALL <ENTER>
Repeat the above steps for all remaining game disks.
NOTE: The above steps assume that you are installing from your A: drive
to your C: drive. Substitute the appropriate drive labels and path if
necessary.
4. Type: UNCHUNK RESOURCE.000 . <ENTER>
NOTE: The space and period between 000 and <ENTER> are required.
5. Repeat the UNCHUNK process for the remaining RESOURCE files. These files
are RESOURCE.001, RESOURCE.002 and RESOURCE.003.
NOTE: Make certain to UNCHUNK the resource files in numerical order. If you
make a mistake, you will need to erase all of the files from the
\SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory and follow steps 2 through 5 again. Also note
that each UNCHUNK operation will take several minutes to complete. Wait until
the computer has completed each operation before typing the next line.
6. After all of the resource files have been UNCHUNKed, type the following
commands to complete the stock associations, one at a time:
CD ASSN <ENTER>
COPY _DEFAULT.PYR MLBPA94.PYR <ENTER>
CD ..\STATS <ENTER>
COPY _DEFAULT.DAT MLBPA94.DAT <ENTER>
CD .. <ENTER>
7. Run the SOUNDSET utility, in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory, to specify
your installed sound card and its settings. To do this, type:
SOUNDSET <ENTER>
Follow the on-screen instructions. PLEASE NOTE: If you know what type of
sound card is installed in your computer, manually select the appropriate
driver and settings in SOUNDSET. While SOUNDSET has an "auto-detect"
feature, it can occasionally detect improperly. This is especially true if
your sound card is one that relies on a Sound Blaster emulation mode for
sound playback.
8. Next, check the integrity of the installation by running the BBCHECK
utility, also in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory. To do this, type:
BBCHECK <ENTER>
BBCHECK will report any errors it finds in the installed files. If there are
any errors reported, type UNINSTAL <ENTER> and retry the manual installation.
9. Once you have verified that Baseball '94 is running properly, delete the
RESOURCE files to reclaim hard drive space. To do this, type:
DEL RESOURCE.00? <ENTER>
If installation problems persist, or if you have any questions concerning the
above steps, our technical support team will be happy to assist you.
See Section 10 - If You Still Have Problems... for information regarding
contacting Sierra Technical Support via phone, fax, mail or e-mail.

3. Copy the files from the Baseball CD to the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory.
To do this, do the following:
Insert the Baseball CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Type: XCOPY D:\BASEBALL\*.* C:\SIERRA\BASEBALL /S /V <ENTER>
NOTE: The above steps assume you are installing from CD-ROM drive D: to hard
drive C:. Substitute the appropriate drive letters and path if necessary.
4. Run the SOUNDSET utility, in the \SIERRA\BASEBALL subdirectory, to
specify your installed sound card and its settings. To do this, type:
