MUSIC CONTEST
]I[
a HORNET Production
..............................................................................
_____Overview
This demo is a 4 month project aimed at advertising Music Contest ]I[.
Please refer to the mc3rules.zip archive for more specific information on
the contest. Some of the information in this intro may be slightly
inaccurate. The mc3rules.zip are the _official_ rules to this contest.
I'm going to be zipping past the topics fairly quickly, as I simply don't
have the time to write up a proper one.
Anyway, have a look through now, and see if any of it applies to you. Enjoy
this demo, and if possible, try and enter something in the contest. You
never know, you might just win :).

_____System Requirements
Essentials :
386 or better
VGA ability
4 megs RAM
Recommended :
Hard disk for fast loading
One of the following soundcards:
SB 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0, SBPRO
GUS
Any of the PAS card family
..............................................................................
_____Instructions and Troubleshooting
For configuration, use this as a guideline: For GUS card users, you can run
this demo on any size computer. Note that I have cut the GUS volume table
back considerably to speed up volume ramping. So, take into account that
Mellow-D's music won't sound quite what it should be when played through
GUS cards.
People with SBPRO cards, a slow machine may not be able to cope. If you
have a 386-16 running SB, then i would advise that you have no sound at
all. If you haven't got a super fast computer, than I would like you to
select the "11025" sample rate please.
- This demo runs on Adam Seychells DOS32 V3.00ß P-mode platform. Although,
he has built his extender to meet DPMI, OS/2, EMM386 specifications, many
of my testers are still reporting complaints. It is mostly my fault as I am
not using Adam's extender properly, but for now please run this demo in a
clean DOS environment.
- Some people with SB16 and AWE32 cards have reported clicking. I have
tried to fix this within the deadline of this demo, but without any luck.
Sorry. :(
- If you have a PAS, or any crusty SB compatible devices, use the SB
compatibility mode.
- There is a bug when running in SBPRO mode. Every now and then, the card
doesn't initialize properly. I have tried everything to try a correct it
for about a year or so. I can not for the life of me figure out what is
causing it. So, if the sound output sounds very warped and slow, simply
reset the machine and rerun it.
- Snowman questioned the "Over Pass Filter" setting I have in the setup
screen of the demo. This currently only applies to SBPRO people. This
filter filters/enhances the output signal. For further reading, refer to
your SB manual.
- If you want to re-setup your soundcard settings, simply delete the *.CFG
file and run the program again.
