Gravis UltraSound Driver Installation Instructions You can print these instructions on your printer by typing the following at the DOS prompt: COPY /B READ.ME LPT1: These drivers are ONLY for Sierra games that support General MIDI. Use of these drivers on other Sierra games may give unpredictable results, or may not work at all. Future Sierra game releases will contain support for the Gravis UltraSound. Specific instructions for installing the Gravis UltraSound drivers in future games can be found in the owners manual or README file that come with the game. _____________________________________________________________________________ The Gravis UltraSound drivers will work with the following games: Dagger of Amon RA (CD) Freddy Pharkas Hoyle Classic (VGA) Island of Dr. Brain King's Quest VI Lost Secret of the Rain forest Pepper's Adventures in Time Police Quest (VGA) Quest for Glory (VGA) Quest for Glory III Slater and Charlie Space Quest V King's Quest VI (CD) IMPORTANT NOTE: These drivers are for Sierra games only. They will not work on Dynamix, Coktel Vision or Bright Star products. _____________________________________________________________________________ Installation of Gravis Ultra Sound Drivers. To begin installation of the Gravis UltraSound drivers, you must first run the Gravis install program by typing UMINSTAL . This program will create the appropriate INI files for your system configuration. If the Sierra game you plan to add the Gravis UltraSound drivers to is not currently installed to the hard drive, install it now. Insert the GUS drivers disk into drive A: or drive B: (Drive B: will be used for this example) C: (Drive where game is installed.) CD\SIERRA (Directory where game is installed) COPY B:\*.* (Drive were the GUS driver disk is) COPY INSTALL.* C:\SIERRA\gamedir (gamedir = game subdirectory name) COPY *.DRV C:\SIERRA\gamedir (gamedir = game subdirectory name) LH ULTRAMID -C -M100 (This may take some time to load) CD\SIERRA\gamedir (gamedir = game subdirectory name) INSTALL (To change music and sound choices) Once you have started the Sierra installation program, go to the game configuration menu and highlight the music option and press . Change the music option by highlighting the Gravis UltraSound (GUS) driver which is now listed and press . Next, highlight the audio option and press . Highlight the Gravis UltraSound (GUS) driver which is now listed and press . Highlight the "Accept these choices and save configuration" option and press . Keep pressing the key until you return to DOS. The next time you run your Sierra game, it will make use of the specific Gravis Ultrasound drivers. WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: If Windows has been loaded after the ULTRAMID.EXE TSR has been used, you will need to unload ULTRAMID.EXE by using the following parameters, and then re-run it for use with any Sierra game. This is required since the Windows drivers overwrite the ULTRAMID instruments in the GUS built in RAM. To un-install ULTRAMID.EXE, use the following at a C: prompt. ULTRAMID -F _____________________________________________________________________________ Manual installation for advanced users. If you would like to perform a manual installation of the GRAVIS drivers, you will need to edit the file in your game directory named RESOURCE.CFG. Using your favorite text editor, change the following lines in RESOURCE.CFG: soundDrv, audioDrv. The text immediately following the "=" must be replaced with a command line showing the game exactly where your GRAVIS drivers are located. The location of the drivers is not critical, but we suggest C:\SIERRA\gamedir (gamedir is the game subdirectory). It is important to save your edited RESOURCE.CFG file as ASCII text without word processor formatting. Use the following example as a guideline - your RESOURCE.CFG file contents may vary. videoDrv = VGA320.DRV (No change required) soundDrv = C:\SIERRA\gamedir\GMGUS.DRV (Pointing to special driver) audioDrv = C:\SIERRA\gamedir\AUDGUS.DRV (Pointing to special driver) joyDrv = NO (No change required) kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV (No change required) mouseDrv = YES (No change required) memoryDrv = ARM.DRV (No change required) directory = C:\SIERRA\GAMEDIR (Individual game directory) audioSize = 12K (*See special note below) minHunk = 206k (No change required) cd = YES (For CD games only) *Note on audioSize: If the default "audioSize" is set to 32K, you will need to lower it. We suggest audioSize = 12. Some CD ROM drives may require a larger number such as 16 or 24. SQ4 CD and The Dagger of Amon Ra CD both defaults to an audioSize of 32K. It is also possible to add the ULTRAMID -C -M100 line as the last line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you do this you will always be loading the Sierra version of ULTRAMID. Gravis may be creating more versions of ULTRAMID so this line could cause conflict in the future if you need multiple versions of the Gravis ULTRAMID program.
