Cavern Duel - Only Release Released 5th December, 1997 Cavern Duel - COMPATABILITY ISSUES The following results are based on v1.06 of the demo version. Since the code is identical, it shouldnt matter. This software works on; 4mb, 8mb, 32mb Risc PC 600, Risc OS 3.50 15mb Risc PC 700, Risc OS 3.50, 3.60 8mb A7000+, Risc OS 3.70 4mb A5000, Risc OS 3.10 1mb A310, Risc OS 2.00 - can be run if screen memory is set to 160k, while system sprites, ram disc, and font cache are set to 0K. This version of Cavern Duel has had the desktop quit routine suspended, as it doesnt seem to work! The above method is the only way it can be run. Contact us if there are any problems on Risc OS 2.00 machines. This version has yet to be tested on the following machines: A305 (any point?) up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A320 up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A4xx series up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A540 up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A30x0 series up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A4000 series up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? A5000 series on Risc OS 3.11? StrongArm Risc PC - This version uses a timing loop. Let me know if it works okay on this machine. It should do, its a simple TIME loop. A4 pad up to Risc OS 3.10 or 3.11? Network Computer with NCOS (Netstation) - I would be especially interested in whether the demo works on one of these! You'll need a keyboard and mouse though! I have found that the current routine for 1 meg users (that of killing the desktop before running the game, due to memory constraints) crashes the aforementioned machine. I have disabled this feature, and lowered the WimpSlot, so that the game can run without needing to take this action. If however, you do have problems running the demo on a 1 meg machine with Risc OS 2 (or later?) then do not hesitate to contact me, using the methods provided in the helpfile within the !CavenDemo directory. The same applies to you all, whatever platform you are using! Stephen Scott, Graeme Scott January 1996, March, December 1997
