Now extract all files in GUS0030 into your current SBOS directory. ** IMPORTANT ** Don't forget to remove 'SBOSDRV.EXE' and 'LOADSBOS.EXE' from your main UltraSound directory and replace them with the new versions. 2.0.0 About this new SBOS version ================================= 2.1.0 About this Version of SBOS -------------------------------- Fixes digital audio problems with V2.0B7. This is the version that is shipping with the V2.06 disk sets. 2.2.0 A Note on ULTRINIT SYS ---------------------------- Like V1.22 of SBOS this version also includes a device driver. This device driver is used for programs which attempt to detect a Sound Blaster or Adlib card when loading up your CONFIG.SYS. You will only need to install this driver if you have such a program. Here is how you may install the device driver: eg: device=c:\ultrasnd\ultrinit.sys ultrasnd=220,1,1,11,7 where 220 is the base port. 1 and 1 are the DMA channel (in/out) 7 is the P.C.M. (MIDI) IRQ 11 is the GF1 IRQ You will still need to run SBOS at the DOS prompt. The following device driver is VERY small and only includes enough code to trick these programs into thinking the GUS is a Sound Blaster/Adlib. 3.0.0 Revision History ====================== 3.1.0 SBOS V1.4B2 (03/07/93) ---------------------------- There have been MANY changes to SBOS over the last few months. Here is a quick list for V1.4B2: þ The .SBS files have been replaced by a single SBOSLIB.SBS þ SBOS no longer interferes with Windows operations, and will even re-load itself upon exiting Windows. þ Improved compatibility þ Sound quality improved In general this is a COMPLETE re-write over previous versions. 3.2.0 SBOS V1.4B3 (03/10/93) ---------------------------- It has been about a week since we released V1.4B2 of SBOS. We have had some very valuable feedback from you in that time. This version attempts to address some of your problems and concerns. þ The sound at the opening Ultima Underworlds II has been corrected þ Problem with the -o3 option returning an incorrect error message on some systems has been fixed. þ The -Xx options are still required (-x1, -x2, and -x3). These options are required by some programs that are expecting certain return values. For example: Most Sierra games require a -x2 switch. þ There is now a -l switch which will tell SBOS to turn on line in þ Fixed problems with some games playing incorrect sounds. Have improved SBOS sound selection. 3.3.0 SBOS V2.02 (03/14/93) --------------------------- On Sunday March 14th we made available a complete new disk set (5 x 1.44Mb) which was almost ready to ship, V2.02. It seems in the rush some problems crept into SBOS. Namely a problem with digitized sound effects if you were running the EMM386 memory manager on a 486 computer. For the most part this version was the same as V1.4B3 except it had changes in the SBOSLIB.SBS. 3.4.0 SBOS V2.04 (04/02/93) --------------------------- Ok, V2.02 had some bugs in it, V2.04 fixes them. Also, we have figured out why XWing was working on some computers and not others. You'll now get great digitized speech out of the game. SBOS now supports multiple digitized sound channels which should help with sounds being cut off in mid-stream. We have tried this version on about 50 games and it seems quite stable. We'll probably be shipping this version out to all the registered owners. So lets hope we got this one right! 3.5.0 SBOS V2.0B6 (04/31/93) ---------------------------- What is different in SBOS 2.0B6? þ You can now keep a database of games that require switches in SBOS.CFG. To maintain this database we have included SBOSCFG.EXE. ** IMPORTANT ** There are not that many games that require switches. So don't go switch crazy . þ In some games the background music drowned out all others sounds. This has been fixed. I would like to hear back from those of you who have found games that require switches with this new SBOS. Please fill out BETA-TST.TXT and FAX/EMail it back to me. We are planning on shipping this SBOS with the upgrade mail out. 3.6.0 SBOS V2.0B7 (05/10/93) ---------------------------- Same as V2.0B6 but fixes that Load High problem. Seems SOME computers could not load V2.0B6 high. We WANT to include this with the update package. But don't want to mail out 15,000 upgrades only to find SBOS had a problem. So we are relying on you to report any problems with this version ASAP. If everything is ok. You'll see the mail out happen shortly. END
