Tips on Running Descent II(tm) with SimulEyes(tm) VR

1. Run SETUP.EXE from the directory containing Descent II (probably C:\GAMES\DESCENT2). From the Setup program select the VR Devices menu choice, then select "Simuleyes". The next choice is to select the resolution. Some systems have a problem running in high-res modes (640 x 480), so we suggest running in the 320 x 400 mode.

2. You need to copy a file from the directory containing your previous SimulEyes VR-ready version of Descent: Destination Saturn to the Descent II directory. This file is called LCDBIOS.EXE and should be dated 1/18/96. You must copy it into the new Descent directory to use SimulEyes VR. For example:

COPY C:\INTERPLY\DESTSAT\LCDBIOS.EXE C:\GAMES\DESCENT2

3. Create a batch file to run Descent II. First change to the Descent II directory. For example:

CD\GAMES\DESCENT2

Now create it as follows:

COPY CON STEREO.BAT [Enter]

You should get a blank line. Type the following:

LCDBIOS /LCDRUN:D2 /HREFRESH [Enter]

Press the [F6] key, then press [Enter] once more to save the file as STEREO.BAT. The /HREFRESH option above is to run Descent II at a higher refresh rate. If you experience problems, try running without the /HREFRESH option.

4. If you are running Windows 95, set up a shortcut for STEREO.BAT. In the Properties for that shortcut, under the Program tab select the option to run in MS-DOS mode. If problems occur, try shutting down Windows and rebooting in MS-DOS mode before running STEREO.BAT.
