CYBERWAR DEMO Copyright (c) 1994 SCi (Sales Curve Interactive) Ltd. PC CD-ROM Version This file contains additional information that did not make it into the manual. If you have any problems then please read this file before calling technical support! CONTROLS You may use either joystick/gamepad or the keyboard to control CyberWar. Action: Joystick Keyboard Up Up Arrow Down Down Arrow Left Left Arrow Right Right Arrow Fire A Space, Return, Enter Fire B Escape, Backspace Exit to Dos: Control-Escape MEMORY After loading the main program Cyberwar requires 300K of coventional memory to be available. If you have less than this, you will be told how much extra memory is required. Remove any TSRs or Drivers that are not required to gain extra conventional memory. Cyberwar uses XMS memory for storing data. XMS memory is configured using the EMM386.EXE line in your CONFIG.SYS file. To ensure you have enough XMS memory available your EMM386.EXE line should look like this: C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE D=64 NOEMS This will allocate a 64k DMA buffer needed for correct audio playback and turn off EMS memory, allowing XMS memory to be allocated as required. If you are using QEMM and you experience difficulties selecting your sound card during the install program, rerun optimize.exe from the QEMM directory. DISK CACHES Please do NOT use any Disk Cache utilities with Cyberwar! They will not affect game performance and can cause problems. SMARTDRIVE users, use the '/U' option to turn off CD-ROM caching. DIGITAL AUDIO Cyberwar uses SOS (Sound Operating System) from Human Machine Interfaces Inc. Drivers are supplied for a number of sound cards: Adlib Gold Ensoniq Soundscape ESS 488/688 Audiodrive Gravis Ultrasound Gravis UltraMax Microsoft Sound System Pro Audio Spectrum Plus/16 Roland RAP-10 SoundBlaster SoundBlaster Pro SoundBlaster 16 SoundBlaster AWE32 Sound Master II SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOUND CARDS Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum - If you have unreliable playback during the game then ensure that SoundBlaster emulation is DISABLED or that the DMA Channel is NOT 1. Creative Labs SoundBlaster16/AWE32 - Ensure that you select the SoundBlaster16/AWE32 drivers, and NOT the SoundBlaster (Pro) drivers if you have one of these cards. SoundBlaster Clones - If you have a SoundBlaster clone and are experiencing digital audio glitches, it is probably due to your clone card emulating a Sound Blaster imperfectly. For more reliable emulation change your sound card to use DMA Channel 1 and IRQ number 5,7 or 9, as this may help. Gateway 2000 - Depending on when you bought your machine you may have either an Aztech SB Clone card (the audio drivers directory is called G2KAUDIO) or an Ensoniq (drivers directory called GW2000). If you have an Ensoniq please ensure that you use the Ensoniq drivers. Gravis Ultrasound/MAX - Do not run SBOS or MEGAEM for Soundblaster emulation - the drivers will run the card in native mode. Reveal Sound FX/32 - Use the Ensoniq drivers. Ensoniq Soundscape - Do not use the MT-32 emulation with Cyberwar. Use either FM or General Midi via the MPU-401 drivers. The SSINIT program supplied with the Ensoniq should be used to select the midi option required.
