Additional informations about Teo MS-DOS/DPMI

Installation

To run the emulator, you need at least a 80386 with 2MB of RAM, a VGA card, and MS-DOS version 5.0 or greater or Windows version 3.1 or greater (Windows 95/98/Me). A Sound Blaster compatible sound-card is necessary to emulate sound.

To install the emulator, you just have to unzip teo-1.8.2-dosexe.zip. The executable will be teo.exe.

The file cwsdpmi.exe is only useful for running in protected mode under MS-DOS.

Launching

When the program is stated, headers and initialization messages are printed, then the user is asked to choose a graphic mode if it hasn't been specified on the command-line. Then the emulation starts.

TEO accepts the following parameters on the command line:

--mode40starts the emulator in 40 columns, 16 colors and full-screen mode
--mode80starts the emulator in 80 columns, 16 colors and full-screen mode
--truecolorstarts the emulator in 80 columns, 4096 colors and full-screen mode
Graphic modes

Teo can use the graphical modes 320x200x8 VGA, 640x400x8 VESA and 640x400x16 VESA.

If VESA modes aren't available on your graphic board, you can use the utility SciTech Display Doctor (previously known as UniVBE) from SciTech Software to help correcting the problem.

Joystick

Teo uses available PC joysticks to emulate both TO8 joysticks. When there aren't enough PC joysticks, the missing joystick(s) is (are) emulated using the keyboard.

Sound generator

The TO8 sound is emulated using the sound-card of the PC. Both the 1-bit (TO7) and the 6-bits (Music and games interface) generators are emulated.

Any compatible SoundBlaster card is supported, as well as few other cards (Ensoniq Soundscape, ESS AudioDrive, Windows Sound System, etc...).
