HDD installation
- First, you need to create the boot disc.
It can be quite easy if you have all the files it needs. The best of the best is to have DOS 5.0A-H version. But it is really hard to find those discs. It took some times for me, but I managed to make it work with DOS 5.0 (Epson version for me) and somes files found on the web and also in Windows 95.
- Turn ON you PC, and boot on DOS 5.0 or 5.0A partition.
Insert the "User disk" in the FDD1. "User disk" can be any empty floppy disc. There is a sticker (ユーザーディスク） fournished with the game for this "User disk".
- Format the disk with DOS like this :
FORMAT C (letter of the disc) /s /m (enter)
If your DOS 5.0 is an EPSON version, don't forget to errase the "opening" file on the disc. It takes too much place for installing the game on the disc.
- Take the "User disk" out, and reboot your PC.
- Now we need the DOS 5.0A-H (or 5.0A update disk). You can also create it with files collecting in some place (other version of DOS, windows, etc.). You need :
- HIMEM.SYS 10.7kb
- EMM386.EXE 89.5kb
- AVSDRV.SYS 42.6kb (other version are incompatible)
- NECCD.SYS 17.7kb
- MSCDEX.EXE 25.1 kb.
When you have all, you can just copy it on a floppy disk. I will call this disk "Dos update disk".
- Reboot you PC, with the "user disk" inside. Then change to the "system disk" (システムディスク). This disk is fournished with the game. Then type :
INST (enter)
The install menu will appear.
- They ask to change the "system disk" to the "User disk" inside the FDD1. Change it, then SPACE.
- You need now to insert the "Dos update disk" inside FDD2. Then choose the letter of the disc and SPACE. SPACE again after the installation.
- Now you have to change the "Dos update disk" to the "system disk" in the FDD2. It will copy the system files of the game inside the "user disk".
SPACE, and SPACE again.
- Reboot PC with the discs inside. Insert also the CD of the game inside the CD-ROM.
The HDD install menu will appear. Select YES to install it. Select the HDD letter. Then YES again.
It will ask for Graphic install. Select YES. Then SPACE.
- After that remove the "System disk", and let the "User disk" inside. Then SPACE and SPACE again.
PC will reboot and launch the game !
