Video Problem
=============================================================================
Q: I have xxxxxx video card,but GTS does NOT detect it.
A: I've never heard of such video card.
   Followings are video card documented on John Bridges VGAKIT.
 
   AHEAD,ATI,CHIPS & TECH,EVEREX,OAK TECH,GENOA GVGA,NCR,PARADISE,
   TRIDENT,TRIDENT 8900,TSENG(Genoa, Orchid, Willow),TSENG 4000,VIDEO7,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Not one of the cards above,so it is not detected on DOS mode.
   But it's detected on OS2 windowed DOS mode.
A: Very curious thing,I can't explain.
   Maybe the prize is attributed to OS2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: When I Start and Quit GTS,
   I'm much annoyed about very slow(delayed) fade_in and fade_out.
   Is it your restriction to unregistered users?
A: No restriction... GTS is not Nagware.
   You have the same program that I have.
   I use INT 10H to change palette.
        xor     bh,bh
        mov     bl,[color]
        mov     dh,[red]
        mov     ch,[green]
        mov     cl,[blue]
        mov     ax,1010H
        int     10h
 
   Maybe your video ROM is very slow.
   Try to move VIDEO BIOS to RAM.(DEVICE=RAMBIOS.SYS)
   There are many utilities for it.
    (and that may be included in your VIDEO CARD diskettes.)
   If it doesn't help,this problem is beyond my knowledge.
 
 
 
=============================================================================
Sound Problem
=============================================================================
Q: Music doesn't play good.It goes trembling,wowing,...
A: Refer to Tuning up section of GTS.DOC
   If you don't understand that manual,
     Try all the combination of Timer Value,Pitch,Tempo.
   If you are not satisfied yet,Wait 'till I make assembly code of DAC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Music goes shrieking.
A: Pitch is too high.
   Lower pitch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Sample doesn't play all length of whole note.
A: Sample which has no LOOP header stops playing when it reaches to end.
   You can make "LOOP header" (refer to GTS.DOC and LOOP-headed sample files)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: GTSDMA doesn't play music.
A: See if your music card has surely DMA feature.
   Some FM specialized SB clone don't have it,I found.
   If it surely has,configure DMA channel number(1,2,3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Music tone(musical interval) doesn't match as to sample.
A: Huh,that's another reason I can't naming GTS as Ver 1.00
   That occurs when samples don't have correct sampling rate.
   I extracted samples from Modules with rate of 8403,
     and didn't fix all of them.
   Fix it with your own sense.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why don't you support Covox?
A: There is very few user of Covox in this country(Korea)
   so,I can't test Covox routine.
   I won't make Covox routine,unless so many requests force me to.
   Why don't you buy Sound Blaster?
      (oh,I'm not a salesman of Sound Blaster)
 
 
 
=============================================================================
Etc
=============================================================================
Q: When do you plan to distribute VER 1.00 ?
A: I think I'll wait a certain period of time
    to determine whether to include other's songs and samples
     in my future regular version.
   If I am not informed of proclamation of copyright or a protest,
    I'll include those materials which has no copyright-like sign.
   If informed,I'll ask them whether they can kindly allow me to
    include their efforts,then do as replied.
   After all those negotiations,regular version will be followed soon.
   But more wonderful feature is after Sep.1993
    when my principal devotion is over (with desirable result,I hope)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Your words are not very clear to me.
A: Sorry,but I'm not a native speaker of English.
