Changes from Ripper v1.03 to Ripper v1.05: [July 30 1996]
- Added a workaround for a buggy CD-ROM driver (from Mitsumi) that mostly
affected Compaq Presario and Hewlett Packard computers with S3 Trio
video chipsets (this has nothing to do with the video card or chipset).
- Added command line option to select your Ripper. To use, type one of:
RIPPER /1
RIPPER /2
RIPPER /3
RIPPER /4
to start the game and use a particular Ripper. This can be combined with
other command line options (i.e., RIPPER /1 /V3).
Changes from Ripper v1.02 to Ripper v1.03: [March 29 1996]
- Added command line options to INSTALL, SETUP, and RIPPER to disable
support for Vesa 2.0, disable use of protected mode bank switching code,
or both. Use /V1, /V2, or /V3 (respectively) to disable these features.
Example:
RIPPER /V3
This will run Ripper, disabling support for both Vesa 2.0 and protected
mode bank switching code.
You can still use the /V option to force Ripper to run in 480 line mode.
If you experience black screens or apparent lock ups, try this:
RIPPER /V /V3
- RIPPER now prints out the error number that DOS reports when it gets
a CD read error. This should help Take 2's technical support staff to
diagnose the problem.
Changes from Ripper v1.01A to Ripper v1.02: [March 16, 1996]
- Fixed restore game problem where it would delete the contents of the
W.A.C. notebook.
- Corrected problem that could cause graphic glitches behind the mouse
cursor on Tseng video chips.
Changes from Ripper v1.01 to Ripper v1.01A: [March 11, 1996]
Changes from Ripper v1.0 to Ripper v1.01: [March 8, 1996]
- Prints the version number when you quit the game.
- Fixed problems relating to Vesa 2.0 drivers. This, in particular, caused
various display problems for different parts of the game on the Matrox
Millenia video card.
- Fix various problems relating to bad values in C:\TAKE2.INI and
RIPPER.INI.
- Exit gracefully if there isn't a CD in the CD-ROM drive when you start
the game.
- Fixed several problems with the WAC Notebook.
- Implemented ripper choice cycling. This will guarantee a different
ripper each time you start a game until all 4 possible Rippers have been
selected. Then it resets and randomly selects the next one (for the 5th
new game). To have it randomly choose from all 4 suspects, delete the
SETTINGS.DEF file.
