- following:
-
- - 286 MINIMUM, 386 highly recommended for good quality music
- - VGA card
- - a hard drive with at least 1.2 Megs of free space

-
- WARNING: the JELLY BEAN FACTORY was not designed to run under Windows,
- OS/2 or desqview, and as such, will not work properly when
- run from them.
-
- NOTE: If the game is operating slow, then try decreasing the sound quality
- option in the config program (see setup and sound card details).
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Before you can play the JELLY BEAN FACTORY, you must first run
- INSTALL.EXE to extract the files, and set up your sound card and input
- device. The installation program will ask for the drive and directory
- you want the JELLY BEAN FACTORY installed to. Installation could take up
- to six minutes depending on computer speed, so be patient.
-
-
-
- Setup
- -----
-
- The setup program is automatically executed at the end of the
- installation process. To customize the setup configuration, run the
- program CONFIG.EXE. The following briefly explains the setup options.
- Sound Card
- ----------
-
- If you have a SOUND BLASTER, SOUND BLASTER PRO, or
- compatible sound card, then you can enjoy the full gaming
- experience with the excellent digitized music and sound effects.
- NOTE: If you do not have such a sound card, then be sure to
- select NO SOUND at the sound card menu option.
-
- Pro Audio Spectrum users must select the Sound Blaster
- option in the setup program, and choose the settings
- corresponding to the SOUND BLASTER section of the card. Refer
- to your sound card manual for more information.
-
-
- Input Device
- ------------
-
- This is where you select whether you want to use the
- keyboard or a joystick. If you select joystick, and one is not
- available when the game is loaded, then it will return to
- keyboard operation.
-
- If you choose to use a joystick, it will ask you to center
- the joystick and press any key, and then to move the joystick in
- all directions, and press any key.
-
-
- Sound Quality
- -------------
-
- This game uses special digitized music which requires a lot
- of the CPU's time, and because of this, this option has been
- added so that slower computers can still enjoy the great music
- and sound effects. For better sound clarity, use a higher setting.
- For a slow computer, try using the lower settings (6-10 kHz),
- and slowly increase the setting until the game runs slower.
- NOTE: It IS possible that some slow computers will not even be able to
- handle the lowest quality setting.
