 SpaceOrb 360 installation instructions for Quake on Mplayer

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



  1)  Install the SpaceWare RealLife 3D Software that is included with

      your SpaceOrb 360.  You _must_ install the DOS version in order

      to play Quake on Mplayer.  Use the default location for the DOS

      drivers if possible.

     

      If your version of SpaceWare is earlier than 4.03 then you need

      to install the SpaceWare RealLife 3D Software 4.03 update.  This

      file is located on ftp.spacetec.com (and www.spacetec.com).



  2)  a)  Run the DOS Game Launcher from Start:Programs:SpaceOrb 360.

      b)  Select Add/Remove Games

      c)  Select Auto-detect games

      d)  Select Add a game

      e)  Scroll down the list and select Quake



      If you have both the shareware and retail versions of Quake

      loaded on your system you may need to Manualy add a game in 2c.





  4)  If you installed SpaceWare RealLife 3D Software for DOS in a 

      location other than the default you will need to edit mporb.bat.

      Open up the quake folder in the Explorer.  Right click MpOrb.bat

      and select Edit.  Change the line:



	set spaceware=c:\spcware



      to



        set spaceware=dirname



      where dirname --^^^^^^^ is the location that you installed the 

      drivers to.



  5)  If you did _not_ install quake into c:\quake then you need to 

      change mporb.pif.  Open up the quake folder in the Explorer.  

      Right click MpOrb.bat and select Properties.  Click the Program

      tab.  Change Cmd line: to reflect the directory that Quake has

      been installed to and make sure Close on Exit is checked.



  6)  Last, you need to double-click MpOrb.reg.  If at any time you

      wish to remove support for your SpaceOrb you can double-click

      MpNoOrb.reg.



  Note: When you launch a game, you may need to press the reset button 

  (located on the bottom side or the orb) two or three times in order

  to play with this device.
