How to Install and Run 1994POOL | +------------------------------------+ 1. Run Install.exe (if you got it from the floppy disk) Or copy all the files to Hard Disk. 2. Change directory to where game is installed. (e.g. cd c:\1995CARD) 3. Run Setup.exe to setup the game (Such as Sound card, Memory, etc) 4. Run 1995CARD.EXE or GODORI.EXE (for Godori shareware game). 5. Select How much money you want to start with. 6. Then select the CUT point(press left mouse button) and begin! 7. Press HELP button for the game rules, and more instructions! 8. Enjoy the game! +-------------------------+ | 3. Trouble Shooting Q/A | +-------------------------+ Q. The game doesn't run! It gives Not Enough Base Memory error! A. This 1995CARD game requires at least 540KB Base Memory in which you will get more memory by removing TSRs, such as those programs that are loaded during computer boot-up. To increase base memory, try boot with clean-disk (to make clean-boot disk, use FORMAT A: /S). Also you may want to try to remove some TSRs that are loaded from AUTOEXEC.BAT file in hard drive. --- Q. When I run the game under windows, the program terminates. Why? A. I recommend you to exit windows, and run the game in standard DOS. If you still want to run the game under window, please change sound mode(sound card, digital speaker mode) to normal speaker mode in Setup.exe. Then, the game will run fine. --- Q. When I switch to 'Speaker Digital' mode, the speaker just makes a lot of noise-like sound when playing the game! A. 'Speaker Digital' option in Setup.exe was intended to be used only with high-speed computers, such as 386-33, 486, 586+(Pentium), etc. Even 386 with 16Mhz speed is not fast enough to support digitized sound for internal speaker. If you don't have sound card, then choose 'Speaker Normal' option which does not use digitized sound. --- Q. Setup.exe doesn't detect my sound card! A. This game support 100% Sound Blaster compatibles Music card, and Gravis Ultrasound card. Make sure your Sound Card supports Sound Blaster, and load appropriate driver if necessary. However, SB-emulation may not work since this game does not use native mode, but uses DMA operation for sound and music. --- Q. For the SB compatible sound card, the music stops right after some sound... A. Probably you have wrong IRQ number. If you haven't install with your disk that came with sound card, I recommend to install it. However, you may change by running Setup.exe, and change IRQ. The default is set to 7(most common), but try to change to 5 which is pretty common as well. --- Q. When I play music, everything slows down, even mouse! A. The generated music is a high-quality digital music which requires high burden of the CPUs, which 386/486+ or better is a minimum. Please turn Music Enable option off in Setup.exe if you experience problems with music. Also, try NOT to change 'TURBO' button during or before the game start. If you have changed your computer's turbo button, try to reboot and run the game again. -- Q. Program hangs when I play with 'Speaker Digital' option in Setup.exe! A. Again, for slow computers such as 386-16,20, etc, computer may not catch up with heavily digitized sound to the speaker. Turn off this option, and choose 'Speaker Normal' option in Setup.exe. --- Q.
