we're using the CDRom Code from The World Foundry. Their code works
with more drives I think. You might try issuing a "cd play" command
from the H2 console...

Dunno... I have an A4000...

Yes, but that is really HappyEnv's fault. The installer checks for
ENV:HereticII/InstallationPath to check if it should offer an
uninstall. With HappyEnv, a directory "ENV:HereticII" is wrongly
created, and the check for presence later in the script is
successful, at which point the installer does not try to create
envarc:HereticII...

Yes, there is an alias "demo_loop" that is executed right after the
game is fully booted. This is usually defined in base/Default.cfg as
"map bumper.smk@menu_main", you can add a file "autoexec.cfg" in your
user dir and enter
alias demo_loop "menu_main"
to override this.

It should really not happen within a game. It could happen when you
change levels, but if it freezes during the game there is something
wrong with your setup, probably a heat problem.

Not a bad idea...
You should see my personal mailbox, its filling up way faster than I
can reply the mails :-)
