- A Demo by
- «░▒▓ REAL-TIME ▓▒░»
-
- 23 June 95

- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 1. WHAT'S IN ? │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- This file contains informations on how to run this demo, and other
- less important subjects. So if you have any problem to make 'Goldorak'
- perfectly work on your computer (I hope this won't be the case !), refer to
- the next paragraph to find the solution.
-
-
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ 2. REQUIREMENTS │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Because of the continuous raising of computers' power, particularly
- in the world of demos, you can't expect this production (and other recent
- ones !) to run in good conditions on a slow machine. To appreciate it fully,
- you need more precisely :
-
- - at least an i486DX2 processor; a 486DX2-66 is recommended.
- - a local bus or PCI VGA graphic card (no SVGA needed).
- - approximately 575 Ko of low memory.
- - 2,1 Mo of extended memory (because the whole demo is loaded before running)
- - it's possible to run 'Goldorak' with or without any memory manager, such
- as EMM386; but don't forget that those programs slow your machine down.
- So if you don't really need them, get rid of them.
- - a sound card is not necessary to run the demo, but strongly recommended !
- At the present time, only GUS is supported, but a version including SB
- should be available one day (perhaps at the end of July).
- The card is detected thanks to the ULTRASND (BLASTER for SB) environment
- variable; if it is not present in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, it won't be
- found ! (as a consequence, there won't be any sound).
-
-
- 'Goldorak' has been successfully tested on several computers, from
- Compaq DX2-50 with VLB ET4000 up to Pentium 100 with PCI Cirrus Logic,
- with or without EMM and GUS max cards; notice though that you try it at
- your own risk, and that we are not responsible for any damage which could
- happen.
-
- If some parts of the demo seem to be slow (especially the motofire,
- which is expected to be full-frame), it perhaps means that your computer
- is not powerful enough or that you've got a really bad graphic card.
-
-
- Last point :
-
- we're fed up with all those demos where it's impossible to skip one
- part when it bores without going back to DOS or even sometimes re-booting
- the computer. So, you can press ENTER whenever you want to jump to the next
- part (but don't use it the first time : the whole demo is only a bit more
- than five minutes long !), or ESC to quit.
-
- It's also possible to start the demo from any part by giving a
- number on the command line from 1 to 4.

- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- 'Real Time' is a young group (with old guys though, 23-24 years old !)
- with only two coders, and some help from two musicians when needed. So, our
- 'pieces of art' are not very numerous :
-
- * Way To Finland (Demo - 1,8 Mo - 08/94) : made for ASM'94. SB only.
- recommended: 386DX40 or better. lasts 12'.
-
- * Delay_Pt (4 Ko intro - 3 655 bytes - 08/94) : poor contribution from Mythos
- to the 4Ko ASM'94 compo (in fact a modified part of Way To F.)
-
- * Mountain (4 Ko intro - 2 915 bytes - 08/94) : Scarfman's contribution to
- the same compo. Great, but doesn't work with all cards (get an
- ET4000 !). NB: These two 4Ko intros are released with Way To F.
-
- * Revenge (64 Ko intro - 12/94) : our contribution to The Party 4.
- Came 9th. GUS support only. 5'
-
- * Goldorak (Demo - 1,3 Mo - 07/95) : released at SIH'95. GUS support. 5'30"
- You haven't tried it yet ?!? What are you waiting for ?
-
-
- If you are reading this file (sure you are !), you've already got
- 'Goldorak'; you can find 'Way To Finland' on DP-TOOL Club's CD ASC 18 (French
- people will understand what I mean), or on the Assembly'94 CD rom.
-
- But the best way to get our productions is to call :
-
- A.C.E (France) : +33-1-4588-7548
- +33-1-4588-8809
-
- or DUNE (France) : +33-1-4702-2597

- hard for you, but it's hard for us too ! (joke)
