NIKAD Patch information

This little program will patch "NIKAD" megademo and hopefully solve some of the problems you have with our demo. We are sure that there still will be PowerMacs on which Nikad would not work or will work only partially. Unfortunately, we did not have enough hardware to test our demo on. If you have G3/233 or 6100/66 you can be sure that this demo will work completely.

Equipment we are sure that demo will have problems with:

	1) 655 or 565 16-bit color displaying systems.
	2) Video cards that do not grant normal access to VRAM
        3) No L2 cache CPUs (parts like rotozoomers or textured tunnel will flicker and be
			     slower than on 6100/66)
	4) 603,603+,603e CPUs -> this demo is extremely 601 optimised and therefore you may
                                 experience decreased performance
	5) Video cards that change screen base address depending on bitdepth
	6) Rotozoomer and textured tunnel wouldn't work on some machines that have
	   hpix value which is greater than hres (seen at the boot time).
	7) 220V coffe machines (just kidding :)))

        We have been notified that demo crashes on some machines when Part 2 is loading.
	To prevent this just increase NIKAD's memory partition for, say, 1000K.

If NIKAD you still have problems with NIKAD:

	Please send us the following info to:
	Frane.Saric@public.srce.hr    (Brain/GDS)
		or
	Marin.Saric@public.srce.hr    (!ZAJC!/GDS)

	or by snail mail to:
		Frane Saric
		A.T. Mimare 63
		10000 Zagreb
		Croatia

	1) the hpix, hres, vres and screen base values.
	2) your computer name (i.e PowerMac 8200/120)
	3) which parts do not work (make sure you watch the demo to its end),
	and how the bug(s) manifests.


Our equipment repairing policy
	If you have a piece of hardware which you suspect is destroyed because of our software, send the bill to us and we will carefully examine it and keep it in our NIKAD album as an interesting thing to remember. Of course, a donation for being in the NIKAD album is preferred :))))
