Master of Dimensions.exe

A.k.a. The Fifth Dimension

I do not recommend installing into your Program Files folder. This can cause write access problems when you need to save your game. C:\Games\Zomb's Lair\Master of Dimensions is the default path, but anywhere other than Program Files/Program Files (x86) is fine.

While playing, you will occasionally be prompted to swap discs between 1 and 2. In order to do this, press Ctrl+Alt+Page Down to change from fullscreen to a window, then select "CD-ROM" from the menu bar, then select "Image..." and choose the disc you need (they're located in [install folder]\Master of Dimensions\Game\Disc - this location is remembered, so you should only have to browse to it the first time). Disc 1 is inserted by default, but note that the disc is remembered between launches, so if disc 2 is inserted when you shutdown Windows, it will still be inserted on next launch (it will start with either disc though). When you're ready to quit the game, exit the game normally, then shut down the computer via the start menu. You'll then see a screen that says "It is now safe to turn off your computer." Once you see this, press Ctrl+Alt+Page Down to change to a window, then click on the "System" menu and click "Shutdown". Do not use the System -> Shutdown function until you've used the start menu shutdown - it's like pulling the power vs turning it off normally.

Reshade is also included (disabled by default) which also includes a few of my own custom presets. Be aware that these will increase hardware requirements. It can be enabled through the Launcher and you can choose from a number of presets there as well. Pressing the End key in-game will toggle the effect on and off.

If you experience poor performance, you can try reducing the CPU speed in the launcher under PCem settings. Ordinarily I would include higher CPU speeds than the included default as options in the launcher (I only include Pentium 75, Pentium 90, and Pentium 100 here), but this particular game is very sensitive to CPU speed and moreover will crash frequently or just refuse to start outright if it's set too high. Do not increase it above the default value (Pentium 100).
