[runfile] atlantis [end] [docs page 1] Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Full Voice Talkie 5/17/93 Indy Talkie is a game that takes full advantage of your CD-ROM by presenting the entire game with full speech and sound effects. A Sound Blaster or 100% SoundBlaster compatible is required to enjoy these features of the game. If you do not have a SoundBlaster or 100% compatible sound card, we recommend that you purchase one in order to fully enjoy the benefits of voice and digital sound effects in this game. [end] [docs page 2] The game also requires MSCDEX CD-ROM extensions 2.1 or later and either 550K free memory or EMS drivers loaded. The game will run fine on a 16mhz 386, and will run with some slowdown on 12mhz 286's. If you find that your are short of memory, you may want to run MEMMAKER if you are running DOS 6.0. If you have DOS 5.0, you may want to run both EMM386 and HIMEM and load as many TSR's and drivers into high memory. [end] [docs page 3] There are options for selecting a variety of Roland ports as well as Soundblaster PORT/IRQ options. To see all of these options, simply type atlantis help and a complete list of options will be displayed. The product will support a combination of Roland and SoundBlaster capabilities. Simply select both options. [end] [docs page 4] QUICK HELP If your game starts and Indy doesn't speak, but text is displayed, either you don't have a SoundBlaster compatible card, or your PORT or IRQ are not set correctly. If you do have a compatible card, you should still be able to hear music. If not, check your volume level and your speaker connections first. If all of the connections are fine, but you still can't hear voice, you may need to tell the game more about your sound configuration. [end] [docs page 5] There are two ways to tell ATLANTIS what your sound configuration is. The first is invoking ATLANTIS with the command line parameters ATLANTIS s%p/%i/BUFFER_SIZE(Optional) ? ? ????? The size of the buffer in K used for ? ? spooling digital sounds from the ? ? CD drive (default 8K). ? ? ? ????????????? The IRQ used to signal an end of DMA. ? ???????????????? The IO Port used to communicate with the sound hardware. [end] [docs page 6] The second is by setting an environment variable. You can do this by typing it in every time you start your computer, or more easily by adding this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. SET BLASTER=A%p I%i ? ?????????? The IRQ used to signal an end of DMA. ? ?????????????? The IO port Used to communicate with the sound hardware. [end] [docs page 7] If you choose to use the environment variable method, you should place the SET BLASTER line with appropriate parameters anywhere in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You only have to do this once, Indy Atlantis will check this variable each time it runs. If you change you sound configuration, you will need to change the parameters you set the variable with.

[end] [docs page 50] There is a conflict with your sound hardware. Either you don't have a SoundBlaster compatible card for voice or your sound card has a hardware conflict. If you do have a SoundBlaster compatible card, you should consult your manual and check the diagnostics that are available. If you do not have a SoundBlaster card, Indy Atlantis will play with text on screen rather than voice. [end] [docs page 51] There is a conflict between the PORT/IRQ detected and the values set in your BLASTER environment variable. Your environment currently reads: SET BLASTER=%b You can either start the game by typing: atlantis s%p/%i or change the BLASTER environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to read: SET BLASTER=A%p I%i [end]
