processors as powerfull as the 386 are capable of handllng a game as advanced
and complex as Ultima VII. The land of Britainnia is more detailed than ever,
requiring more and faster access to all system memory Expanded Memory
Speclfication (EMS) has limitations we have overcorne with Voodoo technology,
and ORIGIN is now able to take full advantage of the power locked inside your
386 or 486 system
To deliver thc best gaming worlds into this world, ORlGlN has pushed the
limits of game technology. In the future, as the 386 becomes the base model
PC, the EMS standard will go the way of its Predecessor --- still acceptable
for some applications, but not for the best in gaming!
Here at ORIGIN, we welcome you to the future ...



VOODOO


Ultima VII uses a special memory manager called 'Voodoo.' This manager,
created by ORIGIN, comes with your Ultima VII game. Voodoo will run on any
386SX or higher IBM PC compatible computer. It uses extended memory, so it
can co-exist with the HIMEM.SYS driver. However, HIMEM.SYS is not necessary
for Voodoo memory to function.
Expanded Memory (e.g., QEMM, 386 MAX or EMM386). The other popular memory
manager, called Expanded Memory (EMS) is not compatible with Voodoo. If you
are using an expanded memory manager (such as QEMM, 386 MAX or EMM386) you
must remove it to run Ultima VII. If you do not know how to do this (and if
the following instructions don't help you), please call MlNDSCAPE Customer
Service for assistance .
If you are familiar with this process, disable the EMS memory manager. The
acceptable minimum configuration is an empty AUTOEXEC.BAT and a CONFIG.SYS
