  7dUMP & The SandS present a demo called "Remoded", designed for retro PCs

 -   -  - - -- --- ------------[ DESCRIPTION ]------------ --- -- - -  -   -

 We are happy to present a new DOS demo called REMODED. This is a short demo
 dedicated to rotozoomers and scrollers that we all love. This time we are
 using Mode X, which means: lots of hardware tricks and VGA magic :)

 Of course, we recommend watching the demo on real hardware and on a 4:3
 monitor. If you are using an LCD monitor with a 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, etc.,
 you may need to enable a "NO WIDE" ("4:3 Default", "Aspect ratio") mode
 in your monitor settings. In any case, the demo provides a choice
 of four video modes and includes a selection menu with a calibration screen.
 Hope you'll figure it out :)

 -   -  - - -- --- -------[ TECHNICAL INFORMATION ]------- --- -- - -  -   -

  THIS DEMO REQUIRES:

  - 486SX or higher recommended

  - 550 kb of conventional memory

  - 2 MB XMS (requires loaded HIMEM.SYS)
    additional 1 MB EMS if using Sound Blaster (requires loaded EMM386.EXE).

  - GUS (with 1MB mem), or Sound Blaster/Pro/16 compatible soundcard

  - fast VGA adapter (VLB or PCI)

  - MS DOS 5.0 or pure DOS-mode of Win9x (DOS 7.0)
    with installed soundcard drivers.


  COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS:

     tseng      - compatibility mode for Tseng Labs graphics cards
                  If you see visual glitches in the greetings part
                  use this switch (example: "remoded.exe tseng")

     trident    - speed boost for Trident 8900CL/D/9000C (FIFO enabling)
                  (method was devised by wbcbz7/sibCrew [aka Artemka])


  TROUBLESHOOTING

  Demo runs too slow?

  - Got a Sound Blaster (or compatible)?
    Try lowering the mixing rate to 22050 Hz or less.

  - Running under DOSBox?  Set cycles=30000 or more.
    (I also recommend using "DOSBox Staging"
    for the best visual quality)

  Demo won't start?

  - Make sure CONFIG.SYS includes:

           DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

  - Using Sound Blaster instead of GUS? Then also add:

           DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE

  - Getting a 'Not enough memory' message? Try this:

           DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM


  - Make sure you're not running the demo from within Windows.
