- Welcome to The Journeyman Project Turbo
- -----------------------------------------
-
- Please take a minute to read over the following information. It has been
- provided to help you configure an optimized system for playing the game.
-
- The Journeyman Project Turbo is a very memory-intensive game. With the
- amount of graphics that Journeyman will be sending to your screen, it needs
- every bit of CPU time that it can have. In order to have an enjoyable
- experience, you should quit any other applications that you have running
- before playing. If you are getting Insufficient Memory Errors, try increasing
- the size of your Windows swapfile. To increase the size of your swapfile,
- click on the "386 Enhanced" icon in the Windows Control Panel and select
- "Virtual Memory". A general guideline to follow is to make your swapfile
- at least twice the size of the amount of physical memory installed in your
- system. See your Windows documentation for more detailed information.
-
- The Journeyman Project Turbo makes extensive use of Video for Windows.
- We have provided the latest version of the Video for Windows Runtime,
- 1.1a on this CD in the WINVIDEO subdirectory for your convenience.
- Enhanced video card drivers that provide Video for Windows acceleration
- are highly recommended. Conversely, if you are having speed or reliability
- problems with the game, updated video card drivers may solve your problem.
- Contact your video card manufacturer for availability of updated video
- drivers.
-
- A special note for Compaq ProLinea users. The on-board VGA adapter will not
- work with Video for Windows 1.1a in 640x480 resolution. To solve the problem,
- simply change your video mode to 800x600 or 1024x768.
-
- This application uses a great deal of digitized sound. If you are experiencing
- popping when sound is playing, you will need to increase the amount of
- memory that MCI will use to buffer sound. To change this, select Drivers in
- your Control Panel, and select "[MCI] Sound" from the list of drivers
- presented. The default setting is enough memory for 4 seconds of audio. It is
- suggested that you increase this setting to 9 seconds of audio.
-
- Journeyman Turbo has been fully optimized to run as fast as possible.
- However, there will still be points at which your computer will need to load
- large amounts of data off of the CD-ROM. When this happens, you will not be
- able to move. How will you know? Watch for these signs...
- - The cursor may disappear or change to an hourglass
- - The red arrow movement button may be lit
- - The access light on your CD-ROM may light up
- Any of these signs is a signal telling you to wait. As soon as the computer has
- finished its loading process, you will be ready to adventure again.
-
- If the game seems unbearably slow, it may be because you have a slow
- CD-ROM drive. An access time of 350ms or faster, and a sustained data transfer
- rate of 150K per second are recommended (call your drive manufacturer if
- you have questions). Even though Journeyman Turbo is over three times
- faster than the original, there may still be significant lag times if your drive
- cannot meet these specifications.
-
- If you want to see Journeyman perform as fast as possible, and if you (by some
- fortunate alignment of the planets) happen to have 540 free MB of hard drive
- space, you can copy the entire game to your hard drive for optimal load time
- performance. You will need to keep the same directory structure under the
- SUPPORT directory, and you will need to modify JMAN.INI in your
- Windows subdirectory to point to the new path instead of the CD. When you
- do this, you will be able to really scream through the environments.
-
- As a general rule, SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN. There are many ways to die
- during the course of the game. The average player will find enough of them
- to make it worth while to learn how to save their game early.

- Woods Multimedia. Call 415-286-6110 between 8:30 and 5:30, Pacific Time.
