ROLAND SOUND DRIVER RETROFITS AND UPGRADES


Happy New Year from your friends in the Sound Department at MPS Labs! In
response to your many requests, we have developed Roland sound drivers for
some of our older, more popular games. Below are installation and usage
instructions. Enjoy!

RETROFITS:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gunship:
Pirates!:

    Due to the way these games were written, it was not possible to write
    sound driver retrofits. Sorry.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

F19: (*)

    Copy RSOUND.F19 to your F19 directory, rename as RSOUND.EXE and run the
    game with the /AR command line option (eg. F19 /AR).


F15II: (*)

    Copy RSOUND.F15 to your F15 directory, rename as RSOUND.EXE and run the
    game with the /AR command line option.


(*) These drivers will NOT run on microchannel computers (like P/S 2's).
Sorry, but it was not possible to make these work without also rewriting the
game.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Red Storm Rising (any version):

    Choose an unused sound driver (except NSOUND), rename the unused driver
    and copy RSOUND.RSR to the previously unused driver, then select that
    driver from the sound choice menu. For example, we'll replace the
    Innovation (BSOUND) driver:

        ren BSOUND.RSR BSOUND.RED
        copy A:RSOUND.RSR BSOUND.RSR
        select Innovation on the sound options menu, or use /AB command line
            option

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

M-1 Tank Platoon:

Version 1:

    NOTE: This retrofit will work with version 1, but we recommend that you
    call customer service and upgrade to version 2, which comes standard
    with Roland support.

    Choose an unused sound driver (except NSOUND), rename the unused driver
    and copy RSOUND.TNK to the previously unused driver, then select that
    driver from the sound choice menu. For example, we'll replace the Tandy
    (TSOUND) driver:

        ren TSOUND.TNK TSOUND.BAK
        copy A:RSOUND.TNK TSOUND.TNK
        select Tandy on the sound options menu or use /AT command line
            option


Version 2:

    Copy RSOUND.TNK to your Tank directory and select Roland from the sound
    option menu.

    Version 2 came standard with a Roland driver, but it didn't run on
    microchannel computers. This version corrects that.

UPDATES:

Knights of the Sky:

    The release version of Knights of the Sky didn't work on microchannel
    computers. This version corrects that.

    Copy RSOUND.KN to your Knights of the Sky directory and select Roland
    from the sound menu, or use the /AR command line option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lightspeed:

    The release version of Lightspeed didn't work on microchannel computers.
    This version corrects that.

    Copy RSOUND.LT to your Lightspeed directory and select Roland from the
    sound menu, or use the /AR command line option.
