DC Tonic
--------

DC Tonic was created as a collaboration of the following hobbyist DC
groups/people:

- Cryptic Allusion
- Ganksoft
- Moving Target Software Design
- AndrewK / Napalm

For better information burn the CD, boot it, and go to the Info Viewer. If
you can't burn the CD yet but just want to read the texts, you can do so
by looking in the cd-root/info directory for the txt files.

This CD can be burned like any other DC hobbyist CD, except that a few
small notes are probably in order. To burn the audio session correctly,
the three audio tracks need to be burned into one session, and the data
track into the second session. The order is english.mp3, japanese.mp3, and
2ndmix_extended.mp3 (I'm assuming here that you either use a program that
can decode MP3 data on the fly or have decompressed them yourselves). In
Linux / BSD it looks like this, for me:

cdrecord -v dev=0,6,0 speed=8 -multi -audio -pad english.wav japanese.wav \
	2ndmix_extended.wav
cdrecord -v dev=0,6,0 speed=8 -multi -xa1 cd-image.iso

Where cd-image.iso was made in the normal manner after burning the three
audio tracks and getting the msinfo number. If you are too lazy to do all
of that and want a butchered version for yourself (please don't distribute
them this way) then you can just burn the data part in the normal way.

MAKE SURE you use the included IP.BIN, as it is patched using AndrewK's ip
patching tools. Accordingly, the KOS boot image on the CD does not have a
disclaimer. This is very important if it will be distributed to anyone at
all.

For information on how to burn this CD, please check the appropriate web

Others: You're on your own =)

I wish we had more time to spend on this CD to make it look really 100%
professional like a lot of the other things at E3, but as it was we were
already doing 10-12 hour days on CD production for the last few weeks
before E3 in addition to our normal jobs, and the CDs were finished about
7 hours before our plane departure for LA! So if you find bugs in the
demos / games / etc on here, please forgive the sloppiness and remember
that these are mostly just demos.

We'd like to thank everyone who made it possible for us to get this CD
done, go to E3, and have a blast! We'd also like to give a BIG THANK YOU
to SourceForge for hosting the project and letting us provide this great
free software for the DC. I'd write more useful things here, but most of
the interesting info can be found in the cd-root directory itself, and I
am pretty tired!! Enjoy!
