Questions & Answers for "First Edition" Genetic Species CDRom
Genetic Species was burned using a new ISO standard called "ISO9660". Some of
the older Amiga CDRom file systems do not support this standard and will result in a
corrupt file structure being displayed. We advise that you obtain one of the following
100% tested CDRom mounting systems. AmiCDFileSystem (Not Tested) "UseCDLibs" forces Genetics to use the cd.device supplied on the GS CDRom. If
you are not using the cd.device to access your CD then your system could freeze or crash
when entering the game. Our advice is to not use the "UseCDLibs" program. That`s because the AHI system is on the GS CDRom, you should copy the contents of the
GS CDRom "L" "LIBS" "DEVS" and "C" directories
into your Hard Drive equivalent locations to install AHI on your Hard Drive. Note: Do not
copy the "cd.device" file from the "DEVS" directory if you are using
another device to read the data on the CD. Before you start the game you must be aware that the AHI requester does not like it if
you have audiomodes in DEVS:Audiomodes/ without having the right soundboard for these
modes. The result can be everything from a crash to no sound. If you do not have a Concierto soundboard then. Delete DEVS:Audiomodes/Concierto The Genetic Species engine uses the "cd.device" to trigger the audio tracks,
the use of any other device will result in no CD audio. Genetic Species will run on CyberGraphics and PicassoIV graphics cards, but cleverly
enough the "LIBS:rtgmaster.library" was not included on the GS CDRom. A1000,
A2000 and A3000 Graphic card owners will have to download the rtgmaster installation
archive from aminet before they will be able to run Genetic Species whereas other graphic
card owners will be forced to an AGA mode until they obtain the rtgmaster.library.

When I run `UseCDLibs` then run `Genetics`
my system freezes after the animation and introductions.

cannot get any Digital sound from within GS.
