Although not all texts in game are translated. Fixed a bug what caused "WaitForVerticalBlanc Error". Fixed a bug what caused "List index out of bounds" error after two player game finished. Fixed a bug what caused Capsules to "jump up" to the top of the pile, when trying to turn it. **** Installation **** System requirements: Pentium 100mhz DirectX compatible graphics accelerator and soundcard Windows 95 + DirectX 5 or Windows 98 1.5Mb Free hard disk space You can install Capsule to any directory you wish. Just unzip the files with Winzip to your chosen folder and execute capsule.exe to run the game. **** Uninstalling Capsule **** Capsule does NOT use the Windows Registry, so you can uninstall Capsule simply by deleting the folder containing the game. ********************************* **** How to register Capsule **** ********************************* Capsule is NOT freeware. You can evaluate the program for free, but if you like it and want to continue using it, you must register your copy. Registration fee is 10$ US. If you want to register your copy, please send me email to: jani_immonen@hotmail.com If making the currency change to 10$ US is impossible please send email to: jani_immonen@hotmail.com , and tell me what country you live in, and we'll surely find a way to make a registration payment. The unregistered version reminds you regularly to register your copy when you reach level 8 or higher. Also, you won't see all the animations and you can't complete the game. Otherwise the unregistered version has all the features of the full. When you register, all the restrictions are removed. When you receive your registration code all you have to do is enter the code to the game. Select SETTINGS in the main screen, then REGISTRATION. Enter the name and code I send to you and you're registered! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx Contact information xxxx Snail Mail: Jani Immonen Inmar Software Ltd.

Those files are: -CAPSULE.EXE -GRAPHS.DAT -SOUNDS.DAT -README.TXT -LUEMINUT.TXT - this is a Finnish version of README.TXT -HOWTOPLAY.TXT -OHJEET.TXT - this is a Finnish version of HOWTOPLAY.TXT If one or more of these files are missing, DO NOT continue using that copy, get a new copy from: http:/batman.jytol.fi/~janimm/capsule When you register, you get free upgrades of Capsule until version 2.0. Upgrades, until version 2.0 of Capsule, will use the same registration code, so you won't need to re-register when you upgrade the game. In some cases you might have to re-enter your registration code after upgrading so make sure you write down your code and keep it in safe place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **** Problems ? **** 1. Game doesn't start: Make sure you have DirectX v5 or later installed. DirectX libraries are not included in the Capsule package because of their large size. You can find the latest DirectX version in the Microsoft homepages at www.microsoft.com/directx/, or, for example, included with some other game packages or on magazine cover CD's. 2. Game is too slow: When in the main game screen press F12 and you will see the FPS rate in the lower righthand corner of your screen. If the FPS rate is less than 60, your computer can't run Capsule fast enough. If you have a 100mhz or less Pentium with a 1MB graphics accelerator, your system may be too slow. If this is not a case, check that your graphics accelerator and soundcard drivers are 100% DirectX compatible. Check out the newest drivers at your hardware manufacturers' homepages. 3. Game is too fast: If the FPS rate is greater than 80, the game might be unplayable. Some Pentium II systems, with a fast graphics accelerator, can have FPS rates as high as 150. Try changing the monitor refresh rate from -Optimal- to a lower setting, this will most likely solve the problem. The cause of this behavior is unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) Jani Immonen 1998 jani_immonen@hotmail.com http://batman.jypoly.fi/~janimm http://batman.jypoly.fi/~janimm/capsule ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPSULE IS DISTRIBUTED "AS IS".
