When this option is selected you will be presented with a list of different cards with various setup options.

Using the cursor keys select the option you require and press return. If you select the correct option you

should now hear either a Sound Effect or a small tune played through your soundcard. When prompted

type Y/N if you heard the sound from your card. If you didn’t hear a sound then re-select again. If you have

further problems please refer to the AUDIO PROBLEMS??? section in the Trouble Shooting guide, over

the page.

Controls

You now can select the control method you wish to play Litil Divil with. Your choice is either Joystick or

Keyboard. If Joystick is selected then the program will ask you to calibrate your joystick. Follow on screen

instruction to do this.

If you want to play on keyboard select keyboard. You can, from here, use either the default keyboard

controls or redefine your own, by selecting redefine keys and following on screen instructions. The default

keyboard controls can be found in the main game manual.

Please note

During the game while Mutt is standing still in the tunnels you may re-calibrate your joystick by

pressing CTRL and J together or change to keyboard by pressing CTRL and K

Save Setup

When you are happy with all the other options, selecting this and pressing return will save all the other

information out to your hard drive and will automatically load this information in every time you play Litil

Divil.

If at any stage in the future you wish to change any of the setup information then simply reload the setup

program by entering the Litil Divil directory and typing ‘ SETUP ‘ . From here follow the setup instructions

again to re-configure the game to your requirements.

Exit

Selecting this option and pressing return will quit out of the SETUP program and exit to DOS.

Starting the game

After completing the installation and Setup, you are now ready to start playing. Change to the Litil Divil

directory and type ‘DIVIL’ .

If you created a batch file then type in the name you called the file to run the game.

Trouble shooting

Memory Management

Error message - NOT ENOUGH BASE MEMORY

Litil Divil requires at least 580K of base memory to run properly. If your machine hasn’t enough base

memory, when you try to run the game the following error message will appear on screen. NOT ENOUGH

BASE MEMORY YOU NEED 580K TO RUN LITIL DIVIL.

If you are unsure as to the amount of BASE MEMORY you have, simply make sure you PC is at the DOS

prompt and type ‘MEM’.

This will present you with a list of different memory locations. The important one is ‘LARGEST

EXECUTABLE PROGRAM SIZE’ (in other words BASE MEMORY). If this is less than 580k then you will

need to free up some more memory to play Litil Divil. Consult your DOS manual for more information on

base memory and how to make more available, or follow the guide to make a DOS BOOT DISK.

Error message - NOT ENOUGH FREE EXPANDED MEMORY

Litil Divil requires 3 Megabytes of Expanded Memory (EMS) not Extended memory. You can use

EMM386.EXE or other such drivers to emulate Expanded Memory using Extended Memory.

You can do this by adding the line,

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 3072

into you CONFIG.SYS.

If you have configured your PC to have 3 Megs of EMS and are still experiencing the error message, then

ensure that either programs like ‘Smartdrive’ are not taking up your EMS memory; or simply enter more

than 3megs on your EMM386 line in your CONFIG.SYS

e.g..

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 4096

DOS Boot Disk

Do not use the DOS Boot Disk section of the manual if you have any sort of disk compaction software on

your hard disk drive. Consult your disk compaction software manual to create a DOS boot disk.

If you do have problems with the above sections, then making a DOS Boot Disk could cure these

problems. To create a DOS Boot Disk follow these easy steps exactly as shown.

Please Note:

All examples of code assume that your DOS directory is on the ‘C’ drive and that the directory name is

‘DOS’;

ie. C:\DOS

If your DOS directory is on ‘D’, for example, and the directory name is MS-DOS, then replace C:\DOS with

whatever your needs are;

eg. D:\MS-DOS

1.) Insert a blank floppy disk into your A: drive of your computer.

2.) Make sure your machine is on and at the DOS prompt.

3.) Type ‘FORMAT A:/S’ and then press return or enter

4.) Wait while the disk is formatted and the system data has been transferred onto the disk.

5.) You will now be asked to name the disk. Type’ LD-BOOT’ and then press return or enter.

6.) If asked ‘ FORMAT ANOTHER DISK’ answer ‘N’ and press return

7.) You should now be at the DOS prompt.

8.) Type ‘EDIT’ and press return or enter

9.) Select ‘NEW’ from the file menu, and press return or enter.

10.) Type in the following information.

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 3072

FILES=20

BUFFERS=20

DOS=HIGH

11.) Select “SAVE’ from the file menu and save as ‘ A:CONFIG.SYS’ ensuring that the LD BOOT disk is in

drive A.

12.) DO NOT SAVE THIS FILE TO YOUR HARD DISK.

13.) Select ‘NEW’ from the file menu, and press return or enter.

14.) Type in the following information.

PROMPT=$P$G

PATH=C:\DOS

15.) Select “SAVE’ from the file menu and save as ‘ A:AUTOEXEC.BAT’ ensuring that the LD BOOT disk

is in drive A.

16.) DO NOT SAVE THESE FILES TO YOUR HARD DISK.

17.) After completing sections 1-16 you are now ready to play the game. Reset your computer leaving the

LD-BOOT disk in the internal floppy drive. When the computer has ‘booted up’ and is at the DOS prompt,

change to the Litil Divil directory and type ‘DIVIL’ to play the game.

Audio Problems???

If you experience any problems with the sound in Litil divil then check through the following.

1.) Does the card work with other products?

2.) Have you used and installed the software that came with the card, if any did?

3.) Is your card 100% compatible with the sound cards listed?

4.) Have you installed the game to use the desired soundcard?

5.) Have you configured the card properly. Check the interrupt settings?

6.) Have you been through the SETUP program?

Extra Extra

If there are any other notes or alterations to this installation guide then a text file will appear when you run
