Tips on Running Descent II(tm) with SimulEyes(tm) VR


1.   Run SETUP.EXE from the directory containing Descent II (probably
C:\GAMES\DESCENT).  From the Setup program select the VR Devices menu choice, then
select "Simuleyes".  The next choice is to select the resolution.  Some systems may have a
problem running in high-res modes (640 x 480), so try the 320 x 400 mode if high-res mode
doesn't work.

2.   You need to copy a file from the directory containing your previous SimulEyes VR-ready
version of Descent to the Descent II directory.  This file is called LCDBIOS.EXE and should be
dated 1/18/96.  You must copy it into the new Descent directory to use SimulEyes VR.

3.   Create a batch file to run Descent II.  You can create it as follows:

     COPY CON STEREO.BAT [Enter]

You should get a blank line.  Now type the following:  

     LCDBIOS /LCDRUN:D2  /HREFRESH [Enter]

Press the [F6] key, then press [Enter] once more to save the file as STEREO.BAT.  The
/HREFRESH option above is to run Descent II at a higher refresh rate.  If you experience
problems, try running without the /HREFRESH option.

4.   If you are running Windows 95, set up a shortcut for STEREO.BAT.  In the Properties
for that shortcut, under the Program tab select the option to run in MS-DOS mode.  If problems
occur, try shutting down Windows and rebooting in MS-DOS mode before running
STEREO.BAT.
