SHOOT THEM TROUBLES WITH VARMINT'S EITTRIS!

I want to mess around with the configurations.

  - Great!  Edit IVAN.CFG.  It is self-documenting.  You can screw around
    with all kinds of stuff in there, like what music gets played, music
    volume, game speed, play options, etc...

EITtris crashes!  What do I do?

  - It might be the graphics.  EITtris uses VESA SVGA graphics, and some
    cards do a terrible job of implementing the VESA standard.  You might
    what to try downloading a great shareware program called
    UNIVBE. It has been known to fix a lot of problems.  The web site for it
    is:

          http://www.scitechsoft.com/univbe.html

    Also try talking to your video card vendor. They might have a video
    BIOS upgrade available.

  - It might be your sound card.  EITtris uses only Sound Blaster and
    Sound Blaster compatable sound cards.

    - Try disabling sound in ivan.cfg
    - Try setting the SBVERSIONFIX parameter in ivan.cfg
    - If you are running WIN95, make sure there are no other applications
      open that use the sound blaster, or try running EITtris in DOS
      compatability mode.

I can't play my favorite MOD's and S3M's in EITtris!

  - EITtris has only a limited ammount of memory for modules.  When
    you run EITtris, look in the ABOUT... section to see the largest
    music file size that you can load.   Booting from a "clean" DOS
    boot disk is usually a good way to free up some more of the
    memory space under 640Kb.

Holy Cow this is a great game!  I can't possibly send you enough money!

  - That's OK.  $50 will do.

My favorite S3M sounds like $##$#%!

  - Varmint's Audio tools (VAT) generally does very well at playing back MOD's
    and S3M's faithfully, but at this point, it is possible there is
    still a bug or two lurking in there.  Please email me and tell me where
    I can get the offending module.

  - There are a few sound systems that aren't happy with VAT.  In that
    case, I apologize, and suggest that you run EITtris with the PC speaker.
    Later versions should be better at the sound stuff.

Midi sounds terrible!

  - Yep, sure does.  Sorry.

The game is slow and jerky.

  - If you are on a slow computer (486/33 or less), you might want to
    chop the SAMPLERATE parameter in ivan.cfg down to 11000, or you
    could just choose PC sounds.

I type "eddie2" and nothing happens!

  - Isn't that interesting...
