ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Hall of fame delete dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Hall of fame delete dialog

What are you doing here? Are you going to erase the high scores? I don't know
if I should help you with that.... But, OK, I'm in a good mood and I'm a really
poor loser myself, so I'll help you out.

First you should select which game's high scores you want to delete, by
clicking on the appropriate radio button. Then, since the games can have many
different game files and difficulty levels, select which game files and
difficulty levels you want to delete the high scores for. When this is done,
press the  button, and watch those high scores disappear....

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. Sound/Music driver selection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Sound/Music driver selection

On this page you can choose the sound and music driver you want to use, by
selecting them in their respective list. If you don't want to use the
sound/music features, make sure you select <None> in the lists, otherwise it
might take very long time to start the games and you might face some other
strange things.

Important note: Please make sure you exit and close all games you have running
before you press the OK button. Otherwise your sound/music settings might get
overwritten when you exit the games.

Also note that the settings you make here affect all games. You can not make
settings for individual games.

If you want more detailed technical information on the sound/music subsystem,
take a look at the Sound/Music section in the Online Reference and I'll tell
you more.
