StudioFun!TM is a media-player based on optimized GNU/Linux distribution to bring a
“Room Theater” experience into life. It plays DVD, VCD, MP3, Audio CD and other
multimedia. Furthermore, Users can take snapshots of video and customize the saved
images as screensavers or p h oto sl i deshows. Of course, the images can b e st or ed in USB
mass storage devices like flash disks and USB floppy disks.
Hardware Requirement s
The supported hardware list of StudioFun! updates regularly. So please check the
“hwreq.txt” located in the root of StudioFun! Application Pack CD to get the latest
supporting information.
Installation Procedure
Insert the “StudioFun! Application Pack CD” in a CD/DVD ROM drive and let the system
boot through th e C D. Th e di s k wi ll boo t and bri ng u p t he g rub boot l oad er i nstal l ation menu.
Two options are specified: “ S tudioFun Install” and “StudioFun Recover”.
13
StudioF un! Insta l l
This option will do the basic installation of the distribution. The installation works on
pre-installed windows or GNU/Linux distribution.
On selecting the “StudioFun Install” option the installer boots and displays a dialog box
indicating the space required and waits for a confirmation. Selecting “Ok” will continue the
installation while selecting “Cancel” will terminate the installation and reboot the machine.
If Windows or GNU/Linux is the only OS installed on the hard disk with no free space, it
will resize the partition, either NTFS or FAT32 or ext2, and install StudioFun!. If the hard
disk has a 128MB of free space available, the installation will use the free space.
After installing the base system you will be prompted to select the resolution from the
following choices
1. 1024x768 (recommended)
2. 800x600
3. 640x480
Select the desired resolution. The default is 1024x768 for high-end graphics.
Next you will be prompted to choose the DVD area/region selection code. Choose this
based on the type of DVDs you will be playing.
The installation procedure will then probe for the type of mouse installed. The distribution
currently supports PS/2, USB and Serial mice. In case of serial mouse you will have to
move the mouse when prompted. The other two are probed and installed automatically .
The installation procedure will now finish, the CD is ejected and a dialog box prompting to
reboot the machine is displ ayed. Press “OK” button and enjoy StudioFun!.

StudioFun! Recover
Where there is a MBR (Master Boot record) corruption, the “StudioFun Recover” will
automatically probe the hard disk master boot record and find out the installed operating
system(s). Once success, it will re-install the boot loader with correct options in the MBR.
Please be noted that the newly probed one will over write any custom boot loader option
specified from other GNU/Linux installations.
Booting to StudioFun!
After the Installation, remove the CD from the CD-ROM and restart the system. After the
rebooting, you will get the “GR UB boot loader men u scr een”. Sel ect the Stu di oFun! Opti on

WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overcl ock Mana ge r, use r s can ea si ly adjust the fre quen cy they prefer or they can
get the best CPU performance with j u st one click. The Overvoltage Manager, o n the other
hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the
chipset information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about BIOS
model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI
along with the CPU speed are sy nchronically shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not appropriate when test ing
and results in system fail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
stability by automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either
the original system speed or a suitable one.
System Requirement
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The W indows XP operating system includes DirectX 8.1. If
you use Windows XP, you do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)
26
Installation
1. Execute the setup execution file, and then the following dialog will pop up.
Please click “N ext” button and follow the default procedure to install.
2. When you see the following dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is
completed. If the “Launch the WarpSpeeder Tray Utility” checkbox is checked,
the Tray Icon utility and [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be automatically and
immediately launched after you click “Finish” button.
27
Usage
The following figures are just only for reference, the screen printed in this user manual will
change according to your motherboard on hand.
[WarpSpeeder™] includes 1 tray icon and 5 panels:
1. Tray Icon:
Whenever the Tray Icon util i ty is laun ched, it will displ ay a little t ray ico n on th e r igh t side o f
Windows Taskbar.
28
This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™] Utility. You can use
the mouse by clicking the left button in order to invoke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the
little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following
figure. The “Launch Utility” item in the popup menu has the same function as mouse
left-click on tray icon and “Exit” item will close Tray Icon utility if select ed.
2. Main Panel
If you click the tray icon, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will be invoked. Please refer
do the following figure; the utility’s first window you will see is Main Panel.
Main Panel contains features as follows:
a. Display the CPU Speed, CPU external clock, Memory clock, AGP clock, and PCI
clock information.
b. Contains About, Voltage, Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons for invoking
respective panels.
c. With a user-friendly Status Animation, it can represent 3 overclock percentage
stages:
Duck walking => overclock percentage from 100% ~ 110 %
Duck running => overclock percentage from 110% ~ 120%
Duck burning => overclock percentage from 120% ~ above
29
3. Voltage Panel
Click the Voltage button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Voltage
Panel will slide out to up as the following figure.
In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not.
The default setting is “No”. If you want to get the best performance of overclocking, we
recommend you click the option “Yes”.
30
4. Overclock Panel
Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock
Panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
31
Overclock Panel contains these features:
a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “ +1 MHz butt on”, an d “+3 MHz button”: provi de use r
the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.
Warning: Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you verify
every speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just click
Auto overclock button and let [ WarpSpeeder™ ] automatically gets the best
result for you.
b. “Recovery Dialog button”: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select a restoring
way if system need to do a fail-safe reboot.
32
d. “Auto-overclock button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will set
the best and stable performance and frequency automatically. [ WarpSpeeder™ ]
utility will execute a serie s of testin g until s ystem fail. Then system w ill do fail-saf e
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will
restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable
frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.
e. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will proceed a
testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current frequency will be
saved into system registry. If the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting.
After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery
Dialog’s setting.
Note: Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or newer
runtime library is required. And please make sure your display card’s color
depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required for
Direct3D rendering.
