===================================================================== 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 suppliers 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. ===================================================================== 3.

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 games 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 games .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 Support@securom.com 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.
