IF this demo doesn't work with the AHI installed on your system, it's NOT our fault! Install it properly, NOW! :*) How to install: Extract the archive to a directory of your own choice. ie LhA x Hd2:Downloads/Erdnuss.lha Hd2:Trashcan/ If you don't have the AHI package installed in your system, now is the time to install it. (Just extract the AHI archive and use its Installer script.) If you already have the AHI package installed, just start the intro from either CLI or Workbench and enjoy the show! This intro is 110% systemfriendly AND multitasking. No Locale-support though! :) NO Enforcer or Mungwall-hits! Tech-tech: Please note that this intro requires approximately 69kb of conventional memory, plus an 512mb of free space on your harddrive for its swapfiles. The OS is already such big a consumer of hdspace, so we thought we ought to keep the tradition alive. And don't get startled if sudden hd access which may seem *totally* unnecessary should occur. It's our own, highly optimized 32-bit (although 16-bit internally) Virtual Multiple-threading routine (version 1.0) which scan your hd for redundant free space and does a pretty darn good job fragmenting it. We thought about including the new beta version (1.1ß), but we have some trouble fragmenting the virtual stacks (VSTACK) and the upper (virtual) memory areas (VHIGH). And we STILL haven't figured out how to completely disable the OS support of partitions that uses the 16-bit file allocation turnip (VFAT16). Important ---> Make sure you have installed the correct drivers for your specific multimedia speakers or hifi system! Please visit http://www.you.goddamn.fuckwit/stock.html for a wide selection of the most recently updated drivers. In 95% of the cases, VSOUND.VSD (version 2.04) is the only driver you'll need to download. Please note however, that some revisions of certain motherboards lack an important cache-mode ability needed to transport the musicdata fast enough between the CPU, the virtual CPU, and the (virtual) sound driver(s). The only way you can be sure of having a motherboard which can cope with the task, is simply to open up your computer, disconnect all hardware from the motherboard slots, and then removing the motherboard. Finally turn it upside-down. If there ISN'T any text saying "Man, you couldn't tell your ass from icecream!' you have a perfectly working motherboard.
