------- Cyberia ----- 11-17-94 -----------------------------------------------

Welcome to Cyberia!  

Cyberia requires a minimum of a 386/16 with 4 MB of RAM, VGA, about 3 MB of
available Hard Disk Space, and a Single Speed CD ROM Drive.  A Joystick is 
highly recommended! 

To enjoy the ultimate Cyberia experience, we recommend a 486 VESA Local Bus
machine, Double Speed CD ROM, 8 MB of RAM, and a 16 bit Sound Card. 

To install Cyberia on your hard drive, just switch to your CD ROM Drive and 
type SETUP.  

EX.
	D:     <enter>
	SETUP  <enter>

The Setup program will prompt you for the Destination Directory (C:\CYBERIA 
is the default) and then copy the required program files from CD to your  
hardisk. 

When the Setup program is finished, type CYBERIA to start the game.

Enjoy!

Memory Problems:
----------------

To play Cyberia, your computer must have a minimum of 4MB of RAM.  Cyberia 
has low conventional memory requirements, and should play under most machine 
configurations. If you receive a message stating "Not Enough Memory" when 
trying to load Cyberia, check your CONFIG.SYS file for the presence of any 
external memory managers.  Examples of memory managers are EMM386, QEMM, 
386MAX. A typical command line will look something like this: 

	       Example: "DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE..." 

If such a memory manager is present, disable the line by adding "REM" to the 
beginning of the line containing the memory manager: 

	       Example: REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE..."

in the CONFIG.SYS, save the file, reboot your computer, and try loading 
CYBERIA again.  Always back up your CONFIG.SYS before making any modifications 
to it.

If you still experience problems, use a Boot Disk when starting your computer.
Details on making a Boot Disk are given on the Troubleshooting card included 
with Cyberia.


Sound Problems:
---------------

CYBERIA is designed for use with Sound Blaster and 100% compatible Sound Cards,
and does not require a special setup program for sound card configuration. If
you experience any sound problems while playing Cyberia, first check your sound
card settings, located in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The statement will read 
something similar to this: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1.
	
	- A220 => Base i/o address.
	- I5   => Interrupt.
	- D1   => DMA channel.

Cyberia will work with most configurations, however the interrupt must be 
less than 10, and the DMA channel must be 1.

If your settings exceed these values, run the configuration software that 
came with your Sound Card, and choose new values within the allowed range.
Save the new settings, check that the SET BLASTER line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file has been updated to reflect the new values; then reboot your computer 
and run Cyberia again. 

Sound Problems can arise for a variety of reasons, most commonly from 
incorrect settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or conflicts between your Sound 
Card and another piece of hardware installed in your computer, such as a 
Modem, i/o card, or even your Mouse.  


SPEED PROBLEMS:
---------------

The speed at which Cyberia plays is in large part dependant on the speed of
the Video Card, and the CD ROM drive installed in your computer. If Cyberia
plays too slow on your machine, check the lines in your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files which start your CD ROM drive, for the presence of an M:
option. This option sets the number of buffers and should be set to 
at least 40 for optimal reading performance . (ex. M:40).  Check the 
documentation that came with your CD ROM for further details.

If Cyberia still plays too slow, you can use the -s option when starting 
the game to speed up gameplay on slower machines, or machines with slow 
video cards. To use this option, simply type "CYBERIA -s" when loading the
game. This will drop the refresh of every other frame in the flying sequences. 


Playing Cyberia with a Mouse: 
------------------------------

      When using a Mouse with Cyberia, remember to use the "F" command. 
      This command switches between Flight Stick and Mouse Modes. 
      To use this command, simply type "F" while in any of the flight
      sequences.  A Joystick is Highly Recommended!


      Mouse Problems:
      
      If your Mouse does not function properly while playing Cyberia try 
      using the -M option when starting the game.

      Example:

		CYBERIA -M  <ENTER>

      Note that, depending on your system hardware, this switch may fix the 
      problem, make things worse, or crash your computer.  
      
      Note that the Mouse does not operate in the Gunnery Chair of the Rig.
      If you do not have a joystick, use the arror keys to move the gun, the
      space bar to fire.

      
CD ROM Troubleshooting:
-----------------------

	Triple Speeds CD ROM Drives:
	
	Some Triple Speed CD ROM Drives are not compatible with CYBERIA.
	As of this writing, 11-17-94, we do not have a solution to this 
	problem.

	Please call our technical support line for the latest information
	and possible solution to this problem at 714-553-6678


MACHINES WITH ONLY 4 MEGS OF MEMORY:
------------------------------------

If you have a machine with only 4 Megabytes of memory, it may be required that
you make a boot disk to run Cyberia.  To do this, format a floppy disk in your
boot drive (a: drive), by typing FORMAT A: /S (this will make a bootable 
floppy.)  After the format is complete, EDIT CONFIG.SYS on the a: drive (the
screen will be blank), and insert the following lines:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\SBCD.SYS /P:220 /D:MSCD001
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
DOS=HIGH

After saving this file, EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT on the a: drive and insert these 
lines:

C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /M:30
PROMPT $P$G

After saving this file, wait a few seconds and reboot the system, leaving the
floppy disk in the a: drive.  You should now be able to run Cyberia from your
hard disk without problems.

Please refer to the Setup/Troubleshooting card included in the box for more
detailed information.

Please note that your CD-ROM drivers may be different than our example.  This
example works with the Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 CD-ROM kit ONLY.  Your
drivers may differ; please consult your CD-ROM/soundcard documentation.
