(all references to C: refer to the drive where windows is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive) 1) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation can be done by the following instructions: [Remember, this is ONLY as a last resort and should not be done until ALL other options have failed.] 1. EXIT WINDOWS 2. At the dos prompt ( C:\> ) type: C:\> CD \ C:\> MD \WAYCOOL2 C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\*.* C:\WAYCOOL2 C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\WAYCOOL2.INI C:\WINDOWS C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\WAYCOOL2.HLP C:\WINDOWS 3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the waycool2.ini and change the line "GamesPath=D:\GAMES" replacing D: with your drive i.e. "GamesPath=E:\GAMES" C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\WAYCOOL2.INI 4. Restart Windows and create a WayCool Too! group and icon in Progam Manager by following the instructions below: 1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New 2. Select Program Group option and click Ok. 3. In the Group Name type: WayCool Too! Games for Windows 4. Click Ok to create the group. 5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New 6. Select Program Item option and click Ok. 7. In Description, type: WayCool Too! 8. In Command Line, type: C:\WayCool2\WayCool2.exe 9. In Working Directory, type: C:\WayCool2 10. Click OK to create the Icon. 2) DISK SPACE - WayCool Too! takes up less than 2 megabytes of harddisk when installed on your computer. Actually system files required to run the games take most of that and you may already have alot of these files so it can take as little as 600K. During installation, Setup.exe copies about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are required to install WayCool Too! but are deleted after the setup is finished. If you do not have the system files it can require 2.5 megabytes to install. If you get the message that you do not have enough free space to install Waycool Too!, move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file until you have completed the installation then you put them back. _________________________________________________________________________________ II. WayCool Too! colors and grahics 1) There is a known problem with the 8514 video drivers and large font option on ATI mach8 drivers. Operation is not affected but the 3D look of certain windows is impacted. Also the About screen background bitmap is smaller than it should be. _________________________________________________________________________________ III. Memory 1) Some games do not release their allocated memory after exiting the game. If you encounter a "not enough memory", "not enough resources" error or a game does not appear to be running properly, exit WAYCOOL Too!, restart Windows and try again. _________________________________________________________________________________ IV. Sample WAYCOOL2.INI file 1) [Start] File=c:\Waycool2\WAYCOOL2.LST Path=C:\Waycool2 <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH GamePath=D:\games <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH [Options] Button=All Sound=Yes _________________________________________________________________________________ V. Recommendations and Notes. 1) Video: For best results use 256 colors or more. Some games require a minimum of 256 colors to run. 2) Sound: We recommend using an MPC(tm) compatible sound board. Windows PC speaker driver will work as well. If you have neither, Click Options/Sound so that the check is off. 3) Mode: Should be in 386 Enhanced mode. 4) Memory: 4 MB of memory is recommend. Please note section III. _________________________________________________________________________________ VI.
