2. Multiplayer Requirements
=====================================================================

Battlestations: Midway may be played with 2-8 players over GameSpy.

Battlestations: Midway does not automatically support a NAT enabled
network. Below is a summary of configuration requirements if you are
behind a firewall. Please also check:
http://www.gamespyarcade.com/support/firewalls.shtml.

GameSpy Arcade needs the following outbound ports open in order to

function:

6667 (IRC)
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP port)

To host a game behind a home router / firewall device the following Port
Forwarding settings need to be configured. Please consult your router
manual or supplier’s support site for details how to configure this.

6500 (Query UDP port)

1042 (Query UDP port)
2302 (DirectPlay UDP port)

If you are hosting and experiencing lag, check your upload bandwidth,
which will often not be the same as your download. If your players are
experiencing unacceptable latency and you are not able to make more
upload bandwidth available, try reducing the number of players.

Controller as an axis, not as two separate buttons - so the preset
configuration differs from the standard Xbox controller's.

5. Other Issues
=====================================================================

ALT+TAB
- Using the ALT+TAB key combination to switch between applications may
cause problems. We do not support the use of the ALT+TAB function.

Copy Protection (SecuRom) Issues:

If you are receiving any of the following error messages: “Please Insert
Original Disk”, “Original disk could not be found or authenticated” or
“Original disk could not be authenticated within time limit”, please
perform the following procedure.

The problem you are experiencing is likely due to the game’s copy
protection, which is made by SecuRom. The most efficient way for us to
further assist you, is to have you produce an analysis file. In order to
generate the analysis file of an attempted software launch for us to
evaluate, please do the following:

1) Place the original game disc in your CD/DVD-Rom.

2) Re-boot the computer.
3) Open My Computer, C: Drive, Program Files, Eidos, and open the games
install folder (C:\Program Files\Battlestations Midway). Locate and
right click on the game’s .exe file.
4) Choose "Launch Analysis" from the choices and left-click.
5) A disclaimer window will appear.
6) To proceed, please click on the "Yes" button.
7) The application will now generate an "AnalysisLog.sr0" file within
the root of your hard drive.
8) Please "zip" the file (to avoid email corruption) and e-mail it to
[email protected] with the subject line "Analysis file for
evaluation." To zip the file right click on the Analysislog.sr0 file and
left click “Send to” and left click Compressed (zipped) folder. This
will create a new folder in the C: drive called AnalysisLog, its icon
should look like a folder with a zipper up the side. This is the file
you need to send to SecuRom.
SecuRom will check the Analysis file and notify you of the results.
