_warNing_ The NewComerS proudly present to you their first 64k intro released at the Rage-SCEneST'98 party held in Hungary, Budapest. (C) & (P) MCMXCVIII. Copyright by The NewComerS Contains: ========== 1. What da heck is diz ? 2. System requirements 3. Error codes :) 4. CrapRight note 5. Important to SB users 6. Closing words. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. What a heck is diz ? ------------------------ This little demonstration is the first demo from the NewComerS team. Sorry no pretty optimisation or hardcoding, just a lazy month of designfix ... :) We just wanna say 'hello world' :) we are a livin' organism...(Amoeba rulz ! ...so we eat you all ! :) If the intro sucks, then it will look designed_shit at last :)))) Only if you have a power_factory inbuild your computer . (I mean : p100+ :))) Anybody have worse ??? (486DX4! rules -Magn) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. System requirements ----------------------- By the way, this is the worst point of the whole 'document' . :) I think diz will run on the following system ( but I never gave a try ): 386+ (Persze! :) -magn ) 540k base 512k XMS (NO EMS OR windows !) GUS 256k (Guszti rules -magn) VGA DOS 3.3+ But we recommend you, check this intro on a pentium class computer ! (fuck ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ off :) The intro speed-frame_rate-optimised for AMD-K5-PR166, but I think 100MHz CPU should enough ... I saw the intro on CYRIX 486 DX4/100MHz once (once? It's my config! -magn), but I surprised how slow until I knew the type of video adapter: TRIDENT 8900C. (Mi van a videocardommal? nem teccik? :) -magn) With this config the demo does some interest bug and sometimes freezed ... (every time,he thought EVERY TIME! -magn) I don't know and care wich one is the responsible (speed or CYRIX CPU) of the bug, but I never experienced errors with faster CPU-s ... HEY ! Buy a pentium :) and mutch more ram :) windows handle max. 64 megs.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Error codes :) ------------------ If the demo doesn't start (because of any error) you got the following message " Error code: #x (READ_ME.TXT :)". There are you find all of the possible error codes : 1 - EMS present 2 - HIMEM.SYS not present 3 - Not enough XMS present 4 - XMS compatibility error 5 - *** (secret code) ¿ 6 - *** (secret code) Ã MayB invalid file structure or something... :) 7 - *** (secret code) Ù 8 - Gravis UltraSound NOT found (try the "/I'mLame!IWannaBuyAGUSImmediatly!" parameter to see without sound :) 9 - Not enough GUS memory If any marked (*) error happend, then the FILE corrupt ! YOU MUST CHECK for viruses or next time do not hack the intro :))))) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. CrapRight note ------------------ This material (I mean demo :) is a FREEWARE. So you allowed to put this onto any CD-ROM or other media until you DO NOT MAKE ANY MODIFYCATION IN THE PACK ! WE DO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PHYSICAL/MENTIONAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS PROGRAM ! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! You do problems yerself if you lose your time with this :)))) Known problem : ---------------- This stuff runs under 'real-flat model' so DO NOT TRY EXECUTE THIS PROGRAM UNDER windows OR WITH EMS MEMORY manager !!! (Jo esetben tchak szol, hogy nem teccik neki a kornyezet :))))) Execute ULTRINIT before start the demo is STRONGLY recommended !!! Sorry for this mistake, this must do until I will get a better GUS init_rutine :)))) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Important to SB users. ------------------------- Sorry no Sound_Blaster support today . I working on progress with my sound system. If the GUS player ready, maybe I add SB support for my player :( If I don't forget it :)))) (He'll forget it! Sure. -magn) The S3M player in this intro is not da best,but it's an OWN PLAYER! . I will build a new XM player for GUS and also for SB series too ... time.time.time. Then mayB a dzgn_fix version 'll come out ... with SB support ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.
