Home A 2ª Jornada Requirements
A 2ª Jornada is developed for DOS protected mode (which means it accesses all computer’s memory, like Windows, and not only those 640 kb of RAM memory that Bill Gates once said it should be enough for any program).

Unfortunately, that old architecture sometimes makes the game not working well on more recent computers or Windows. One frequent problem is that the sound doesn’t work.

On Windows XP, for some strange and unknown reason, the game seems to run slower.

Machine
The game runs on any 286 machine or superior. Probably it’ll get too slow on a 286 or 386, so you better play it on a 486 or superior? Is your machine better than a 486?

Hard disk
The game takes only 10.7 Mb of hard disk.

Memory
The game requires only 4 Mb of memory.
However, it may happen that Windows doesn’t adjust the memory correctly and the game may crash sometimes (for example, when fighting with an enemy). To solve that, click with the right button over the game’s shortcut, you’ll see a menu, select “Properties”. On option “Memory”, make all memory types “automatic”.

Sound
The game’s sound code wasn’t developed by FKM, but a guy named Stefan Göhler that published the code on internet. That code is more efficient than the one used in A 1ª Jornada, and should play music and sounds on soundboards that are compatible with the SoundBlaster model.
However, as explained earlier, it may happen that, even if you have the ideal equipment, no sound will play even so. That more usual on recent computers or soundboards.

Graphics
The graphic resolution is also low, 320x200 and 256 colours. However, because the game runs on DOS mode, you Windows screen won’t be harmed.
