TWISTY HISTORY README
*** INSTALL THE DEMO TO C:\SIERRA\TWDEMO ***
TO RUN THE DEMO FROM DOS
Go to the Sierra\TWDEMO directory and type "TWISTY" <ENTER>
To quit, type "Ctrl-Q"
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
DOS:
386SX 16mhz, VGA or EGA with 586000 bytes free (579k)
Hard Disk, 4.4 meg disk space.
DIGITAL AUDIO PROBLEMS (Gaps or drop outs in the speech)
All the audio is 11k or 22k 16-bit. Large amounts of data
is required to be read off the disk and passed to the sound
card. If you have problems with the sound breaking up
or having gaps during play there are a few things you can
change to optimize the performance.
DOS USERS:
Before installing, optimize/unfragment your hard disk. A
fragmented hard disk can break the audio files into pieces
that can't be read fast enough by the system.
In the file "Resource.cfg" there is a line:
AudioSize = 12k.
This is the audio buffering size. You can increase this
number which will make the system read larger chunks of
audio at a time. This should decrease the gaps or drop
outs. However, by increasing this number the available
memory to run the game will decrease and the amount of
memory needed to run the Demo will increase. Experiment
with various numbers to find what works best.
