You can get in BIG trouble for selling this game.  So don't
do it, okay?

------------------------------------------------------------

THIS GAME IS FREEWARE!

This means that you can copy this game and give it to
friends, if you like.  You could also upload the game to
your own webpage if you want.  However, since the game can
be quite large, bandwidth would be a problem.

------------------------------------------------------------

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

- Windows 95, 98, ME or XP (has not been tested on Windows
  2000, or other platforms, such as Linux).
- At LEAST 5 megabytes of hard disk space.  Depending on the
  number of pictures that you add to the game, this size can
  grow to as much as 50 meg.
- 96 megabytes of RAM is recommended (the true amount of
  memory required for this game is a mystery to me...)

------------------------------------------------------------

==========| TO INSTALL THIS GAME FROM CD (METHOD #1):

1. Create a directory/folder on your hard drive.
2. Copy all of the files on the CD to that created directory/folder.
3. Once all of the files have been copied, go into that
   directory/folder, select all of the files (including the
   other directories/folders), right click and select "Properties"
   from the popup menu.
   At that bottom of the window that appears, make sure "Read Only"
   is NOT checked.  If it is checked, uncheck it, then press the
   Apply button.  Then hit Okay to exit the popup menu.
4. Click on the YUGIOH.EXE file to play the game.

==========| TO INSTALL THIS GAME FROM CD (METHOD #2):

NOTE: If you are working from a downloaded ZIP file, this method
will NOT work for you.

1. Open the CD's directory/folder in My Computer.
2. Click on the INSTALL.BAT file.
3. The file will automatically install all files to the
   C:\GAMES\EDOYUGI directory.
4. Go into the C:\GAMES\EDOYUGI directory/folder on your harddrive
   and click on the YUGIOH.EXE file to play the game.

------------------------------------------------------------

TROUBLESHOOTING?

Q: I can't save the game.  It gives me an error.
A: This is because when you copied the files from the CD,
   the system marks the files as Read Only ("can't save
   over them").  Go into the directory that the game is
   in with My Computer.  Highlight all of the files,
   then right-click your mouse.  Select Properties,
   and from the menu, make sure "Read Only" is NOT
   checked.  Hit Apply, then OK, and you should be
   able to save the game.
   Also remember that you CANNOT play the game from the
   CD.

Q: It says that I need the VBRUN50.DLL file to play this
   game.  What's this and how do I get it?
A: The game was written in Visual Basic 5.0, so it needs
   the runtime file ("special instructions") for running
   it.  Some later Windows OSs already understand it, but
   earlier ones don't.
   You will need to go to http://www.microsoft.com/ and
   do a search for VBRUN50.DLL and download it to your
   Windows system's C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
   directory.

Q: It says that I need some sort of .OCX file to play
   the game.  What's this and how do I get it?
A: The answer is similar to the previous question.

Q: After Anzu asks me to enter a reference, it freezes.
A: This is a memory problem.  Please close down some of
   the programs that you have running in memory.

Q: I can't see the full screen.  It cuts off the side of
   my monitor.
A: This is because your monitor resolution is set too low.
   The suggested resolution to play the game is 1025 x 768.

BUG REPORTS?

This game is sloppily programmed.  If you encounter a bug,
you can send me a bug report.  However, before you do that,
do ALL of the following.

1. READ THIS FILE IN ITS *****ENTIRETY*****.  If that
didn't solve your problem, go to the next step.

2. READ THE HISTORY.TXT FILE IN ITS *****ENTIRETY*****.  If
that didn't solve your problem, go to the next step.

3. Read through the Yugioh help file (press F1 during the
game) in the Troubleshooting section, under Miscellaneous.
Or, click on the Yugioh.hlp file in the game's
directory/folder.

4. Make sure that you have the LATEST version of the
program.  The updates are located at
http://www.stormpages.com/edhrzic/Yugipc.htm
Then try to emulate the bug again.  If that didn't solve
your problem, go to the next step.

5.  Check the PC Game section in the Message Board.  There
may be some information about that bug there.  If that
didn't solve your problem, go to the next step.

6. If you cannot find a solution, please send me
an e-mail at ehrzic@yahoo.com, with the subject "Edo's
Yugioh PC Game Bug Report".  Explain the bug as MUCH as
possible, including the situation that you found it in,
along with your the version of the game that you are
playing.  Once again, if you don't have the latest version,
make sure that you download the latest version first.
This will allow me to test the environment and see how I
can fix it.

Have fun, and happy dueling!
