-2- General Troubleshooting
Battle for Naboo was designed to run under a 100% DirectX 8.0a compatible Windows 95, 98, 2000 or
ME operating system. If the program unexpectedly freezes up, returns you to your desktop, or if you
experience any other severe problems, you should try to properly shut down Windows and reboot your
computer. (As a rule, you should never turn off your computer while the hard drive is active.) This will help
prevent possible problems related to the error that you have experienced. It is especially important to
reboot your computer before trying any of the troubleshooting tips included in this guide or before
attempting to restart the program.
NOTE: If your computer reboots into Safe Mode, go to Shut Down Windows and choose Restart the
Computer. This will put you back into Windows’ normal operation mode.
Why Can’t I Get the Game's Launcher to Respond?
•
•
•
•
•
The Battle for Naboo CD may have been removed.
Your CD-ROM drive may have stopped responding.
There may be a hardware conflict in your system.
The Battle for Naboo CD may be scratched or dirty.
Your computer may not be 100% DirectX 8.0a compatible.
Please consult DirectX Setup or CD-ROM Drive Issues in this Troubleshooting Guide for more
information.
I Cannot Launch Battle for Naboo. What Do I Do Now?
•
•
•
Please check DirectX Setup (Section 9) in this Troubleshooting Guide for directions on how to find
out if DirectX supports your computer hardware.
Check to see if your Windows desktop color palette is set to High Color (16-bit) and the desktop area
is set to 640 by 480 if you have trouble launching the program. On some video cards, other desktop
settings may cause problems in Battle for Naboo. Please consult Video Issues (Section 5) for more
information.
Check to see how much room is available on your hard drive to make sure that you have enough free
3
•
•
•
•
•
space for Battle for Naboo to run. It is recommended that you have at least 75 MB of free space after
installing the program for the Windows swap file and save games.
Check to see if you have any other applications running, such as memory managers, screen savers,
or virus protection programs. If you receive the error: Error: Cannot Initialize Sound System,
another application may be using the sound system on your computer. Please refer to Should I have
Other Programs Running in the Background in this section and Sound Issues (Section 6) for
more information.
Check to see if Direct3D is disabled. This may occur because of driver incompatibilities. Please refer
to DirectX Setup (Section 9) for information on how to check if Direct3D is enabled.
Check the Battle for Naboo CD to see if it is dirty or scratched. The CD-ROM drive may be having
trouble reading the CD. Please check CD-ROM Drive Issues (Section 7) for more information.
Make sure that your CD-ROM drive letter didn’t change since installing Battle for Naboo. If it did, you
will need to uninstall the program and reinstall it with the new drive letter.
If none of the suggestions above help, you may have a corrupted installation. Try uninstalling, then
reinstalling Battle for Naboo.
Why does the DirectX say I Need to Install DCOM?
When installing DirectX 8.0a in Windows 95, you may see an error at the end of installation stating that
you need to install DCOM and providing download information. If this occurs, click on OK. This will not
affect your ability to play the game. This error is due to the fact that you have not installed the latest
updates for your operating system from Microsoft.
What Should I do if my Computer goes to a Black Screen or Locks Up?
If you end up at a black screen or the program appears to lock up, please press ESC, SPACE BAR, and
ENTER before trying anything else. If these fail, press CTRL-ALT-DEL once and choose END TASK on
Battle for Naboo, which should take you back to the desktop. Windows 2000 users will need to click on
Task Manager, and then choose END TASK. If you do not see a dialog box after pressing CTRL-ALTDEL, press ENTER twice and this should take you back to the desktop. Then restart your computer and
try running the program again.
Why do I Keep Getting Static Bursts in Battle for Naboo?
•
•
•
Your sound card may not be fully DirectX compatible. Please look at the DirectX Setup section in this
Troubleshooting Guide for information about how to check for DirectX compatibility.
You may need to update the drivers for your sound card.
Your volume may be turned up too loud in Windows.
Please consult Sound Issues (Section 6) in this Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Should I have Other Programs Running in the Background?
Generally, we have found that it is not a good idea to run any other programs in the background while
playing Battle for Naboo. Please turn off any active screen savers while running this program, as they
may interrupt the program and cause problems. Various video, sound, or memory problems may occur if
other programs are running, including virus-detection utilities. You may need to disable or close programs
that start automatically when Windows is started, such as the Microsoft Office Toolbar and the Live!Ware
Creative Launcher. Some of these programs display icons on your system tray. If you have icons on your
taskbar, right-click on each of them and select the option to disable, unload, or close them before running
Battle for Naboo. The next time you start your computer, these items will load once more and the icons
will return. If you cannot disable them from the taskbar and you experience problems running Battle for
Naboo, you may want to remove the program shortcuts from the StartUp folder in the Start Menu or
disable them through MSConfig in Windows 98. For information about how to remove shortcuts or how to
keep other programs from running in the background, please consult Windows Help.
Task Switching
We recommend that you do not task switch while playing Battle for Naboo. At the time of release, we
have seen problems while task switching on various video cards that can cause the game to lock up or
4
quit unexpectedly.
MS-DOS Memory Managers
If you are running any memory managers, such as EMM386 or QEMM, you may experience problems
when running Battle for Naboo. Windows and Battle for Naboo are protected mode programs and may
have problems running with memory managers loaded. However, we do not recommend making any
changes to your system configuration without first contacting your computer manufacturer.
Running on Low-End Systems
When running Battle for Naboo on a low-end system or a system with 64 MB of RAM, you may
experience some stuttering in the sound and graphics. This usually happens if other programs are running
or your system resources are low. Freeing up system resources or memory may improve performance.
Check Performance (Section 4) in this troubleshooting guide for more performance tips.
Power Management
If your computer is equipped with a Power Management feature, you may want to disable it. Please
consult your computer's documentation or the manufacturer for assistance in doing this. When Power
Management is enabled, the following problems may occur:
•
•
•
The program may crash or go to a blue screen when sleep mode activates.
The Windows mouse cursor may appear when the computer returns from sleep mode.
The monitor may go to a black screen while you are playing or when sitting at one screen for long
periods of time.
Desktop Color Palette and Resolution
If you experience problems running the program, we recommend that you set your desktop Color Palette
or Colors to High Color (16-bit) and the Desktop or Screen Area to 640 by 480. When running Battle
for Naboo with your desktop set to a color palette other than 16-bit, some video cards may experience
problems launching the program, difficulty when task switching or you may see graphic corruption. In most
cases, switching to High Color (16-bit) solves these problems.
Changing Your Desktop Color Palette and Resolution
Battle for Naboo is designed to run optimally in High Color (16-bit). To change your desktop color
palette and resolution:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Right-click on the desktop where there are not any icons.
Choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
Click on the Settings tab.
• Windows 95: Look at Color Palette.
• Windows 98/ME/2000: Look at Colors.
• Choose High Color (16-bit).
• Windows 95: Look at Desktop Area.
• Windows 98/ME/2000: Look at Screen Area.
• Move the slide-bar to 640 by 480.
Click OK to close this window.
If your computer prompts you to restart.
Click on Yes.
Windows 2000 Issues
Keyboard Functionality in Windows 2000
When playing Battle for Naboo on a Windows 2000 system, you may experience the following issues:
•
Pressing ALT, CTRL or SHIFT multiple times may bring up a Windows dialog box while playing the
game. This is a function of the Windows 2000 Accessibility options. For information regarding
5
•
disabling this feature, please consult Windows Help.
Pressing ALT + TAB to task out multiple times in a row may cause the game to close.
Out of Virtual Memory Error in Windows 2000
When playing Battle for Naboo on a 64MB system with Windows 2000, you may see an Out of Virtual
Memory Error while playing or when exiting this game. This occurs because the minimum memory
requirement for Windows 2000 is 64MB. If this occurs, we recommend that you exit the game and reboot
your computer to clear the memory before playing again.
-3- Installation
Installing Battle for Naboo
Please check the amount of available hard drive space on your system before installing Battle for Naboo.
The two options, Automatic and Manual, require 150 MB of free hard drive space. We recommend that
you have at least an additional 75 MB of free space available for the Windows swap file and save games.
If you have too little free space on your hard drive after installing Battle for Naboo, you may be unable to
start the program.
Automatic installs to the default directory, C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Battle for Naboo, does not put a
shortcut on your desktop and may install DirectX 8.0a during installation if it is not already installed on your
system.
Manual installation will prompt you for an installation location, asks which shortcuts to add to the Start
Menu and your desktop, allows you to view the readme, and prompts you to install DirectX 8.0a if it is not
already installed on your system.
CD Ejected During Install
If the CD is removed from the drive before you are prompted during installation, the installation may be
incomplete. When this occurs, you may be unable to reinstall through the launcher. To reinstall the game,
go to the Install directory on the CD and run Setup. This will properly install the game.
System Analyzer Says No 3D Hardware Present
The system analyzer will fail your 3D graphics accelerator card prior to the installation of DirectX 8.0a,
stating that you have no 3D hardware present. This occurs because DirectX is necessary for the system
checker to determine the 3D capability of your graphics accelerator card.
Installing DirectX 8.0a
During the manual installation of Battle for Naboo, you will be prompted to install DirectX 8.0a if it is not
already properly installed on your system. If DirectX 8.0 is detected on your system, you will not be
prompted to install DirectX. If this occurs, Battle for Naboo will work fine with that version. For more
information, please consult the DirectX Setup section of this Troubleshooting Guide.
DCOM Error Message During DirectX Installation
When installing DirectX 8.0a in Windows 95, you may see an error at the end of installation stating that
you need to install DCOM and providing download information. If this occurs, click on OK. This will not
affect your ability to play the game. This error is due to the fact that you have not gotten the latest updates
for your operating system from Microsoft.
Shortcut to Battle for Naboo does not appear on the Desktop
The following are a few reasons why the shortcut to Battle for Naboo may not appear on your desktop
after installing the game:
•
When multiple users use one computer, each person may have a separate profile. If your system is
6
•
•
configured this way and you choose to create a shortcut to the game during installation, it may not
appear on your desktop. If this occurs, you will need to go to the Windows Desktop folder and copy
the shortcut to your current desktop.
You may be running Windows 2000. If you were not logged on to the system with local administrator
rights when you installed the game, the shortcut will not appear on the desktop.
You may have chosen Automatic installation. This option does not create a shortcut on your desktop.
Uninstall Warning
When you uninstall Battle for Naboo, you may receive a warning stating that the uninstaller may not have
removed everything. Here are a couple reasons why you may see this message:
•
•
You may have chosen to keep your saved games and configuration file when you uninstalled the
program. In this case, the uninstaller will not remove the LucasArts, BattleForNaboo, and Saves
folders. You will need to manually remove these folders.
You may have installed other LucasArts programs on your computer after installing Battle for Naboo.
The LucasArts folder will not be removed from your computer because the other LucasArts programs
are stored there.
Can I Move the BattleForNaboo Folder after I Install?
If you wish to move the BattleForNaboo folder to a new folder, uninstall first, then reinstall to the new
location. Make sure to choose Yes when prompted to keep your pilot and configuration files when
uninstalling, so you do not lose your progress. Simply moving the folder will cause the game to stop
working. If you have saved games, you will need to move the Saves folder from the previous installation
folder to the new location where you install Battle for Naboo.
-4- Performance
Performance Issues in Battle for Naboo
When running Battle for Naboo on the minimum required system, you may experience the following
issues:
•
•
•
•
•
There may be stuttering in the voice and sound.
There may be pauses or hitching during the opening cutscene.
Transitions may take a long time.
There may be slow downs or stuttering in game performance.
Obstacles may pop in to view too late to avoid collision with them.
This occurs most frequently when other programs are running or if your system resources are below 70%.
Freeing up system resources or memory may improve performance in the game.
Default Performance Settings
The first time that you open the Configuration Options screen or start Battle for Naboo, the program will
default to pre-selected settings based upon the configuration of your system. If you manually adjust these
options and you experience any performance problems, we recommend that you return to the default
settings, based upon the following settings:
CPU <= PII 300
Detail Level = Low
Screen Resolution = 16-bit: 640x480
24-bit Textures = No
CPU > PII 300 < PII 450
Detail Level = Medium
Screen Resolution = 16-bit: 800x600
7
24-bit Textures = No
CPU => PII 450
Detail Level = High
Screen Resolution = 16-bit: 1024x768*
24-bit Textures = Yes
*NOTE: Screen Resolution will be set to 32-bit: 1024x768 if a 32-bit capable card is detected.
Adjusting Configuration Options for Optimal Performance
If you experience any performance problems when running Battle for Naboo, you may want to make
adjustments based upon the amount of memory on your 3D graphics card and the speed of your system.
Choosing a lower detail level may improve performance on your system, especially when using an 8 MB
video card.
To access this option:
•
•
•
•
•
Open the Battle for Naboo launcher.
Select Help.
Select Configuration Options.
Select Low under Detail Level.
Click on OK to save your configuration changes.
Improving Performance in Battle for Naboo
The following are a few suggestions that may free up system resources and improve performance in
Battle for Naboo.
To run Battle for Naboo with optimal performance:
•
•
•
•
No other programs should be running in the background.
System resources should be at least 85% free.
There should be at least 75 MB of free hard disk space after installation.
Your system should pass all tests run by the system analyzer, which is located in the help menu on
the Battle for Naboo launcher.
To check for specific information on the items listed above, please consult the Table of Contents of this
guide for the appropriate section numbers for any of the topics you have questions about.
Disable Stereo Sound
Stereo sound is enabled by default in the Sound Settings screen. If you are having performance
problems change this feature to Mono to enhance performance in the game.
Close all Other Programs before Running Battle for Naboo.
This includes virus scanning, word processing and Internet programs. Simply disabling these programs
will not help, as the programs will still use resources that are needed to run Battle for Naboo. If you
experience problems completely closing programs that are running, consult the documentation for those
individual programs. This is a common problem when trying to completely disable virus-scanning software.

Windows 2000 Issues
When using Windows 2000, your video card may be disabled for running 3D applications. This occurs
because the driver for your card may not have enabled 3D acceleration when the driver was installed.
Please refer to the Windows 2000 supported card list for the driver version that corrects this issue.
The following chipsets have a Windows 2000 driver that correct this issue:
• NVIDIA RIVA TNT
• NVIDIA RIVA TNT2
• NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Ultra

When using a graphics card with 8 MB of memory, you may experience the following issues when playing
Battle for Naboo:
•
•
•
•
Performance may be slow in some areas.
You may see flickering graphics.
Textures may be missing or they may display incorrectly.
Some of the display modes listed in Configuration Options, such as 32-bit, 1024x768 or 1280x1024,
may not work. When you select an unsupported selection, you may see the following error message:
Cannot initialize HAL. Changing to a lower resolution or 16-bit corrects this issue.
Chipset Issues
3dfx Voodoo II
When using a 3dfx Voodoo II pass through card with the 3dfx DirectX 7 driver, version 3.02.02, the text
may display as solid blocks when accessing menus in certain areas of the game. We recommend that you
update to 3dfx driver version 3.03.00, which may correct this issue.
NOTE: The 3dfx Voodoo II chipset is unsupported in Windows 2000. Pass through cards are unsupported
as secondary devices in that operating system.
3D Labs Permedia 2, GLINT R3 or Permedia 3
When using a card with one of these chipsets, you may see occasional flickering lines or the engine
exhaust on flying craft may flicker or sort incorrectly when using any 16-bit color depth. Selecting a 32-bit
color depth corrects this issue.
At the time of release of this title, we were unable to support the Permedia 2 in Windows 2000. Please
check for updated drivers for your particular card, which may correct this issue.
ATI Radeon
While using a card with this chipset, you will need to enable 32-bit Z-buffer in the D3D Options of the ATI
control panel to use 32-bit in game.
When using this chipset in Windows 2000 with ATI driver w2k_radeon_5_0_3035, background colors may
display incorrectly or the game may perform poorly. These issues may be corrected by ATI’s Special
Purpose driver version W2K-720-0110b (5.13.1.3000), which is available on the ATI web site.
14
NOTE: This driver is ATI’s Beta DirectX 8 driver. Please read the warning on the ATI download page
before downloading and installing these drivers.
ATI Rage 128 or Rage 128 Pro
While using a card with one of these chipsets, you may experience the following issues:
•
•
You may see occasional flickering in the menus and cutscenes.
You may see sorting of textures and flickering on the HUD’s of some ships.
This may be corrected driver version r128_631cdh41e (4.12.01.6292) in Windows 95/98/ME. At the time
of release of this title, there was no driver that corrects this in Windows 2000. The Windows 9x drivers are
available on the ATI web site. Please check their web site for updated Windows 2000 drivers that may
correct this.
ATI Rage Pro or Rage LT Pro
When using a card with one of these chipsets, you may experience the following issues:
•
•
•
•
There may be blockiness in the graphics, especially during explosions.
Transparencies may display incorrectly or may appear solid.
Textures and graphics may overlap on some screens.
When using driver version 4.11.01.2628, the background colors may not display correctly in the
opening cutscene and in some menus. This does not affect gameplay.
Please check the ATI web site for updated drivers, which may help with these issues.
Matrox G200 or G400
When using a card with these chipsets with Matrox driver version 5.30, the game may lockup or crash to
the desktop when certain features in the Matrox Powerdesk are enabled. This corrected by updating to
driver version 6.04, which is available on the Matrox web site.
Matrox G200
When using the G200, if you select 32-bit: 1024x768 or 1280x1024 from the display modes list in
Configuration Options, you may see the following error message: Cannot initialize HAL. Changing to a
lower resolution or 16-bit corrects this issue.
NVIDIA RIVA TNT/TNT2/Ultra
When using a card with one of these chipsets with any of the 16-bit color depths available in the
configuration options screen, the engine exhaust on flying craft may flicker or sort incorrectly. Selecting a
32-bit color depth corrects this issue.
NVIDIA RIVA TNT VANTA
When using the RIVA TNT VANTA, if you select 32-bit: 1024x768 or 1280x1024 from the display modes
list in Configuration Options, you may see the following error message: Cannot initialize HAL. Changing
to a lower resolution or 16-bit corrects this issue.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The video may be slightly ahead of the audio during the opening cutscene.
There may be a black band left on the screen from transitional wipes in menus.

There may be minor corruption in the main menu art.
Textures may drop out during the end cutscene.
You may see flickering corruption when the color depth is set to 32-bit: 1280x1024 in Configuration
Options. Selecting a different color depth corrects this issue.
You may see pixels flickering across the top or left edge of the display.
15
When using this card on a system with AGP 4X mode enabled, you may experience flickering in the
Battle For Naboo title screen and menus or you may see polygons intermittently appear on the screen.

When using this card with the Creative driver dated 10-6-99, tntaw9x.exe version 4.11.01.2111, the game

more information.
Specific Sound Cards
Aztech Labs PCI 338
When using this card on a PII class 233 MHz system with the sound quality set to Stereo, you may
experience frequent flickering or hitching in the game. Changing the sound quality to Mono in the Sound
Settings screen corrects this issue.
Creative Labs Sound Cards
If you start Battle for Naboo and the opening movie seems to be pausing or skipping, with the sound
cutting in and out, you may have Full Sound Duplex disabled for the card. Enabling Full Sound Duplex
operation will correct this problem. To do this:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Right-click on the My Computer icon.
Select Properties from the pop-down menu.
Click on the Device Manager tab.
Click on Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.
Click on the audio tab for your particular sound card.

Click on Restore Defaults.
Creative Labs PCI64
When using this card in Windows 2000 with the default Win2k driver, you may experience intermittent
static and occasional stutters. We recommend that you check the Creative Labs web site for an updated
driver that may correct this problem.
Diamond Monster Sound MX200
When using this card in Battle for Naboo with the stock drivers in Windows 95, you may hear occasional
pops in the music. This is corrected by using driver version 1.07.06.
ISA Audio Cards in Windows 2000
When using an ISA audio card in Windows 2000, you may experience intermittent hitching in the game. If
this occurs, we recommend that you change to Mono in the Sound Settings screen.
Soundcards with the OPTi 931 Chipset
When using a card with this chipset, you may experience the following problems:
•
•
You may occasionally hear long, loud bursts of static.
You may randomly hear a scratchy sound.
Please check the OPTi web site for updated drivers for these cards.
Soundcards with the ESS 1688, 1868 or 1887 Chipsets
When using a card with these chipsets, you may hear static or popping during cutscenes. We recommend
that you check the ESS web site for updated drivers, which may correct this issue.
Guillemot MaxiSound Game Theater 64
When using this card with the drivers from the MaxiSound Game Theater CD, v.4.04.00.0071, you may
19
experience severe audio and video stuttering. Updating to driver version D64ess9xu13 (1.3 update)
corrects these issues.
MediaSonic Gold-16 Pro
When using this card in Battle for Naboo, you may hear a pop in the sound during in-game movies. We
recommend that you check the ESS web site for updated drivers which may correct this issue.
Microsoft Digital Sound System 80
When using these speakers in USB mode, you may intermittently hear static and distortion in the audio.
This occurs because the USB speakers require CPU time to run. Windows allocates 100% of the CPU to
the programs that are running, such as Battle for Naboo, while some USB devices take up to 10% of the
CPU, thus trying to use 110% of the resources.
S3 Sonic Vibes
When using the card with driver version 1.00.08, you may not hear any sound in Battle for Naboo.
Updating your drivers to version 1.01.08 fixes this problem.
Yamaha OPL3-SA Sound Cards
When using the Windows drivers with a Yamaha OPL3 sound card, your sound card may not be
recognized in the game. This issue is corrected with Yamaha driver version 2338 (4.05.00.2338).
If you are unable to resolve sound problems through this troubleshooting guide, please contact your
hardware manufacturer for updated drivers.
-7- CD-ROM Drive Issues
Your CD-ROM drive is not affected by DirectX, but if you are having problems such as slow game play,
stuttering voices, slow graphics, or the program just stops altogether, your CD-ROM may not meet the
minimum requirements to run Battle for Naboo.
Long Delays while CD Loads Battle for Naboo or Cutscenes
If you are getting long delays while the CD loads Battle for Naboo or its in-game movies, your CD-ROM
is having problems loading all of the data needed to run the program. This may be caused by one of the
following:
•
•
•
Your CD-ROM may not meet the minimum requirements to run Battle for Naboo.
Your CD-ROM drive may be getting old or out of alignment.
You may have a fast CD-ROM drive that spins down when the program is not directly accessing the
CD. This is most apparent when using a 16X or faster drive.
CD-ROM Access Error
A blue screen CD-ROM access error might be a symptom of one of these problems:
•
•
•
•
•
You may have a dirty or scratched CD.
You may have removed the CD from the computer while Battle for Naboo was running or paused.
Your CD-ROM drive may be having trouble reading the disc. This is common on some 8X (eight
speed) CD-ROM drives.
Your CD-ROM drive may be getting old or worn.
Your CD-ROM may not be properly installed in Windows.
First, check your CD for any dirt, fingerprints, smudges or scratches. To clean your CD, wipe it gently with
a soft cloth, moving in smooth strokes from the center hub to the outer edge of the CD. If your CD looks
fine, replace it in the drive and see if you have this problem again. If the problem persists, try testing the
drive with a different CD.
20
Fast CD-ROM Drives
Some fast CD-ROM drives, such as 16X or faster, spin down when the program is not directly accessing
the CD. This may cause animation voices to cut out part way through. If this occurs, replay the animation
and it should play fine.
Trouble Accessing Files
If you are having trouble accessing or using files on the CD-ROM or Hard Drive, your drives may be
running in MS-DOS Compatibility Mode. To check this:
•
•
•
•
Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop.
Choose Properties from the pop-down menu.
Click on Performance.
Look at File System:
It should say 32-bit. If this field states that any of your drives are using MS-DOS Compatibility Mode, your
drives are not configured properly to run under Windows 95/98. This mode will greatly decrease the
performance of your computer, and may not allow you to access programs that are written for 32-bit file
access only.
This may be caused by:
•
•
•
•
•
IDE or SCSI interfaces that are not properly set up under Windows.
Inappropriate drivers for IDE or SCSI hardware.
Proprietary CD-ROM drives.
Computers that do not support LBA (Logical Block Addressing) modes except through software, such
as Dynamic Drive Overlay, which allows the computer to see the whole capacity of large hard drives.
Software Viruses, such as the MYB or CMOS A virus.
If you are experiencing this problem, please contact your computer manufacturer or a computer technician
for assistance in correcting this problem before attempting to install the program.
-8- Controller Device Issues
USB Devices
When using USB devices on your system, you may occasionally hear static and distortion in audio or you
may experience slow downs and hitching in the game. This occurs because USB devices require a
percentage of the CPU’s processing time to run. Windows allocates 100% of the CPU to the programs
that are running, such as Battle for Naboo, while some USB devices take up to 10% of the CPU, thus
trying to use 110% of the resources.
USB Devices in Windows 95
Windows 95 does not provide full USB support for gaming devices; therefore USB gamepads and
joysticks were not tested under Windows 95. If you wish to use a USB game controller, only Windows 98
or later is supported.
Keyboard Issues
Users of compact keyboards, such as those found on laptop systems or those used for ergonomic
reasons may experience some problems using the default set of keyboard commands.
Keyboard Limitations
Some keyboards may have limitations in Battle for Naboo. You may be unable to use multiple keys
simultaneously. If you are pressing two keys at the same time, only one key may register the action that
you chose. When using a keyboard to play the game, it may be difficult to hold aim on an object.
21
Onboard Keyboard Shortcut Keys
We recommend that you do not use any of the onboard shortcut keys on your keyboard when playing the
game. Doing so may have adverse affects on the game, such as causing the game to close while you are
flying a mission.
Adding or Changing Controllers after Installing Battle for Naboo
When you setup a joystick on your computer after installing Battle for Naboo, the game may not see the
controller. You may need to tell the game about the new controller in two locations.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Select Configuration Options from the game’s launcher.
Select Joystick Configuration.
Select the name of your controller from the Input Device list, choose Apply, and then OK.
• If your controller is not listed, select Configure Joysticks. This takes you to the Windows Game
Controller Applet. Make sure that your joystick is setup and working correctly. If you experience
any problems calibrating or testing your controller, please consult the documentation for your
joystick.
• Return to the launcher menu and select the name of your controller from the pop-down list.
Choose Apply and then OK.
Return to the main launcher menu and choose Start Game.
Once in the game, select Options.
Select Control Options. This will open the Joystick/Gamepad Settings screen. If the settings for
the controller are blank or the incorrect number of buttons is displayed for your joystick, select
Restore Default Settings and the game will reset the options according to your controller selection.
Configuring Controllers in Battle for Naboo
To configure your game controllers in Battle for Naboo, press ESC until you return to the main menu.
Select Options, then Control Options. This takes you to the Joystick/Gamepad Settings screen. From
this screen, you can reassign the buttons on your controller or reset them to their default settings.
Assigning Controller Buttons in Battle for Naboo
Battle for Naboo supports 12 buttons in the game. If your controller has a Button 13, this button will
default to Hat Up in the game. The Joystick/Gamepad Settings screen will allow you to reassign this
button, but it will say it is Hat Up instead of Button 13. Button 13 and Hat Up will both activate whatever
functions either is assigned to when used in the game. We suggest that you do not ever try to assign
button 13.
Configuring Controllers in Windows
If you experience any control problems in the game, make sure that your controller is connected to your
game port or USB connection and that it is configured properly in the Game Controllers Control Panel. To
do this:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Open the Battle for Naboo launcher.
Select Options.
Select Configuration Options.
Select Joystick Configuration.
Select Configure Joysticks.
Select Properties.
Test your controller. If you experience any problems during the tests, you may need to calibrate the
controller. Follow the instructions listed in the game controller control panel.
Choosing from Multiple Devices
If you have multiple game controller devices connected to your computer, you must select the device that
you wish to use. To do this:
•
•
Open the Battle for Naboo launcher.
Select Options.
22
•
•
•
Select Configuration Options.
Select the joystick or gamepad that you wish to use in the Joystick Configuration box.
Click the OK button. The device you selected will now be active in the game.
Controllers Configurations that “Poll with Interrupts”
When using controller configurations that “poll with interrupts”, you may experience random menu
changes in the in-game menus when this option is enabled. Disabling this option in the Windows game
controller control panel corrects this issue.
Analog Joysticks
If your analog joystick is not recognized in the game or has poor performance, you may have previously
installed the software that ships with Microsoft digital joysticks and gamepads. Uninstalling this software
and reinstalling the analog joystick in the Windows Game Controllers Control Panel should correct this
problem.
Digital Gamepads
When using a digital gamepad in the game, you may be unable to hold aim on an object.
Unplugging Your Game Controller
If you are using a game controller and it becomes unplugged from your computer while you are playing
Battle for Naboo, you may encounter slow downs in the game or your craft may fly in circles. If you are in
a menu, the options may cycle automatically. When this occurs, you will be unable to select any options
until the controller is disabled or it is plugged in again. To correct this, you will need to exit the game and
reconnect the controller to your system.
Problems after Disconnecting your Joystick
If you remove a joystick that was connected to your computer, be sure to remove the joystick driver from
the Game Controllers Control Panel, as it may cause problems in the game, such as the in-game movies
getting bypassed or options being triggered automatically as if a button is being held down. Removing the
driver from the control panel will solve this problem.
Pausing the Game
You may be unable to pause the game if your joystick is enabled and out of calibration. If this occurs, you
will need to exit out of the game and recalibrate your stick.
CH Products ForceFX
When using this controller in Battle For Naboo, the rumble effect does not work. The only drivers for this
controller at the time of release of this game are DirectX 5 compatible drivers. Please check for updated
drivers, which may correct this issue.
Gravis Eliminator Gamepad
We recommend that you do not enable the precision button when using this controller in Battle for
Naboo. You will not be able to scroll up when this button is in use.
Interact Raider Pro
When using this controller in the game, you will be unable to move backwards through the menus. Moving
forward works fine.
Thrustmaster FCS Mark II
When using this controller in the game, it may be difficult to navigate the interface menus. You may need
to use you keyboard to navigate these menus.
Thrustmaster Frag Master
When using this controller in the game, we recommend that you do not enable Mega Hurts mode in the
23
controller software. When this mode is enabled, you may not be able to play the game, as it will be too
sensitive to all movements.
Mouse Configuration
Battle for Naboo supports three mouse buttons in the game. The mouse configuration screen displays
three buttons for you to configure, no matter how many buttons are on the mouse. The fourth button on a
four-button mouse is not supported in the game.
Wheel Mouse
The wheel on the wheel mouse is not supported in the game. You will be unable to map game functions to
the wheel.
-9- DirectX Setup
Technical Overview of DirectX
DirectX is a library provided by Microsoft to run inside the operating system and provide programmers with
seamless access to all of the hardware features available today. The DirectX platform provides an
environment that allows developers to use a standardized format when programming an application. This
makes it easier to support a wide variety of different hardware configurations. Prior to DirectX, developers
were forced to write hardware-specific code (with a specific driver for each different piece of hardware).
NOTE: Some older systems may contain hardware that may not be fully DirectX compatible. For optimum
performance in Battle for Naboo, your system must fully support DirectX. Fortunately, many
manufacturers are releasing updated drivers. If you are unsure whether your system will support DirectX,
please contact the manufacturer of your system for more information.
WARNING: Once you have installed DirectX, it is not easily removed from your system.
Where to Find DirectX 8.0a
DirectX 8.0a is provided for you on this CD. During the manual installation of Battle for Naboo, you will be
prompted to install DirectX 8.0a if it is not already correctly installed on your system. If DirectX 8.0 is
detected on your system, you will not be prompted to install DirectX 8.0a. If this occurs, Battle for Naboo
will work fine with that version. If you would like to update to DirectX 8.0a, select the check box during
installation.
To install DirectX after installing this program, follow these steps:
•
•
•
•
Insert the Battle for Naboo Disc in the CD-ROM drive.
Select Help from the Battle for Naboo launcher.
Select Analyze your Computer.
Click on Install DirectX 8.0a and follow the on screen prompts.
NOTE: Some programs that were made with earlier versions of DirectX may not work with DirectX 8.0a.
Checking Your System for DirectX Support
After you have installed Battle for Naboo and DirectX, you may want to determine whether DirectX
supports your computer hardware. To do this:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Insert Battle for Naboo Disc in the CD-ROM drive.
Select Help from the Battle for Naboo launcher.
Select Analyze your Computer.
Click on DirectX Diagnostics. This takes you to the DirectX Diagnostics screen.
Click on the Display 1, Display 2, and Sound tabs.
If you are experiencing any problems while running Battle for Naboo, we recommend that you test
24
DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectSound on their respective screens. If any of these tests fail, please
check for updated drivers for the hardware that failed the test. If you continue to have problems after
updating the drivers, we recommend that you contact the hardware manufacturer of the card for
further assistance.
NOTE: You will only see Display 2 if you have a 3D Accelerator pass-through card.
