(Maybe)Frequent Asked Questions.
(Q)Game doesn't work.
After messege of 'Fullscreen mode? (y/n)' , game shows 'Failed at Creating Direct3D'and doesn't work.
Game works but behavior is strange. behavior is awkward.
(A)You installed DirectX8.1b or late?(Q)I wanna reset Hi-score / copy Hi-score.Game require DirectX8.1b or late, doesn't work with early version than 8.1b(A)DirectX is Ok?
Get DirectX fromMicrosoft - DirectX, and install.It's possible that DirectX is broken.(A)Another application is working together?
Read the aboveIf another application is working together,game works slow or doesn't work.(A)Windows has a temporary problem?
Quit all application working now,and boot game.
Especially applications like virus scan make game unstable.
Sometimes rebooting PC resolve a temporary problem of Windows.(A)Maybe there is a problem about fog function?
Reboot PC.Use 'SGX2_fogoff.bat' to boot at fog-off mode.(A)Driver of VGA card is the latest?
But in this mode, background isn't drawn rightly.With some VGA cards,updating the driver resolve a problem.(A)Your PC enviroment has enough power?
butAT YOUR OWN RISKGame use 3D Drawing of Direct3D.
If VGA card doesn't have enough power,game can't boot or work slowly.
On the assumption nVidia/GeForce series or ATI/RADEON series,game designed
With other chipset,it's possible that game can't work.
(A)file'score.dat' keep hi-score.(Q)Missed suddenly.
If reset Hi-score, delete 'score.dat'.
If copy Hi-score, copy 'score.dat'.
Object that must be visible is invisible.
(A)Maybe some file is lost.(Q)I have other technical problems,bug informations. Where do I ask?
Download again,please.(A) Mail me(omega@personal.email.ne.jp), or ask at BBSOmega (site is Japanese)

(Q)Hmmm.... I don't know how to enjoy game.(A)Try to earn score.(Q)This is very easy. Hahahaha!! Make more difficult!
Make a chain, get red item surely, collect green items at once, Make more chain at boss battle,etc....
You can gain more score by many methods.
First,earn toward 600,000points, Next try 1,000,000points
(A)The purpose of game isn't game clear.(Q)I don't know how to earn score.
See UCHU- content, this game is to earn score.
The interest doesn't appear befor earning score.
Why don't you beat Hidden Boss in 'Heavy Mode'?
I think you search the condition that Hidden Boss appear first, =)
(A)Read UCHU- score system carefully.(Q)What means 'UCHU-'?
And watch parameters in game screen while game playing
Game shows all informations about score. Each scoring system isn't so difficult.
SeeUCHU- Tips,too.
I say directly, spend less stock, make a long chain, collect items continuously, wait for chance and make a chain in boss battle. so you gain much score.
(A)Terrible. UCHU- Terrible. Really terrible, So Terrible.(Q)After such a long,
UCHU- Terrible.
