FAQ: "Can
ZZ-Darts be played on Windows XP?"(v0.91e) (April 18,
2003)
ZZ-Darts v0.91e can be played almost
well on WinXP. But there is some annoying bug you
need to keep in mind when playing.
If you start ZZ-Darts on WinXP and
then focus to another window (by pressing Alt+Tab
keys), ZZ-Darts' window gets dark and you can no
longer continue the game until you quit and restart
ZZ-Darts.
The problem also occurs when you push
F1 key to read ZZ-Darts' help.
So, to play ZZ-Darts on WinXP,
Read its help before the game
starts by choosing "ZZ-Darts" -
"Playing instruction" from WinXP
start menu or double-clicking the help file
(index.htm) directly. Do not press F1 key
during playing the game.
Do not change the focused
window until the game ends.
Sorry for your inconvenience. I hope
to fix the problem in the future version.
FAQ: "Why
can't my darts hit to the right place I'm aiming, while
COM players can easily?"(v0.91e) (April 18, 2003)
Here are some tips to win the game.
The dart begins flying when
you RELEASE the mouse button (NOT when PUSH.)
Keep the left button of your mouse depressed
while moving the mouse for aiming, bring the
cross cursor to the target, and release the
button at the very time the light point
overlaps with the center of the cross cursor.
Perhaps you can throw more accurately with
this technique.
Get into the rhythm of the
flickering of the light point. It goes and
comes in some regular cycle, not randomly.
If you still feel hard, set
"Player 2" option in the option
dialog to "Com(Easy)" to ease the
difficulty of the game.
FAQ: "Why
ZZ-Darts does not work correctly with my
computer?"(v0.91e) (January 12, 2002)
There are some possibilities.
- Are you using one of video cards
listed below? This version of ZZ-Darts does not
support these cards for now. (It will be fixed in
future version.)
- If the dartboard
looks totally white in the title screen, it may be
the case that your video card does not support Bilinear
filtering option. To
disable this function, push F6 key
in the title screen and turn off Bilinear
filtering check box.
FAQ: "Why
can't I win the game, even though my score reached
0?"(v0.60e/ei) (May 25, 2001)
You might know about
"double-out" rule. ZZ-Darts is programmed
in compliance with this popular rule, so you need to
hit one of "doubles" (including bull's eye)
to win.
For example, when you have 10 points left and hit
single-10, you have busted. you need to hit double-5
to win the game.
(Addendum on November 9, 2001
ZZ-Darts v0.91e, which can disable the "Double
Out" rule, is released.)
PROBLEM:
v0.60e/ei (April 4, 2001)
ZZ-Darts does not work
correctly with some video cards like Voodoo, Voodoo2
or PowerVR. It's because of the limitation of the
library used to program ZZ-Darts.
PROBLEM: v0.54e
(February 2, 1999)
We recommend
installing DirectX6 or better if ZZ-Darts does not
work correctly with DirectX5.
BUG: v0.53e
(January 16, 1999)
Some unwelcome
behaviour occur with certain display drivers.
The bug will be fixed in new version, ZZ-Darts v0.54e.
BUG: v0.52e
(January 7, 1999)
Recently we received a
report that ZZ-Darts v0.52e displays an error message
below.
'The zzdarts.exe
file is linked to Missing export USER32.DLL
WINNLSEnableIME'
It's caused by
ZZ-Darts' illegal calling older version of APIs of
WINNLS.
The bug will be fixed
in new version, v0.53e
We are sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused
you.
