#REAL MYST 59 VOLTS PLUS#
Also, when you first turn on the book a video automatically plays featuring Atrus writing at his desk, then he looks up at you & mouths the words "who the devil are you?".įor those whose eyes just glossed over reading all that, consider this - it’s capable of running Half-Life 2 at a 30fps+ & it contains the best editions of all the Myst games plus some extras. Bonuses are a copy of the Book of Atrus e-book, plus shortcut copies of some extracted Myst Island flyby videos/linking panel images.
#REAL MYST 59 VOLTS SOFTWARE#
Included software is Myst Masterpiece Edition, realMyst, Riven DVD edition, Riven Elementary, Myst III: Exile DVD edition, Myst IV: Revelation, Uru: Ages Beyond Myst & The Path of the Shell, Myst V: End of Ages, The Manhole Masterpiece Edition and Crowthistle. I hadn't realized that you have to click on the door to the spaceship. The Operating System (Windows XP) & all software is loaded directly from a 32GB CompactFlash card that reads at 22MB/s. ) and would look over at the spaceship to see if the door was open. The only way to deal with heat in this book is to just avoid creating it in the first place, so all the components are ultra-low power.
The system is entirely passively cooled and waste heat conducts out through the book. The system has 1GB of RAM (less RAM = less power consumption & heat). The CPU is an Intel Z530P running at 1.6GHz, and the GPU is an Intel GMA500 chipset capable of running DirectX 9.0C graphics. Power consumption is around 12 watts & the battery life is around 1.5 to 2 hours. The power supply converts its voltage to the 12V & 5V required by the computer. The power supply is a 3-cell Lithium-Ion battery capable of outputting 60A of current (but the book uses nowhere near that much). There’s a matching 4-wire resistive glass touch-screen overlaid on top as the main input method, which updates at 160 samples/second with a touch resolution of 2048x2048.
This provides 1:1 native pixel mapping on the original versions of Myst, Riven & Exile. The screen is a 640x480 5.0" LED-backlit display. Some tech specs, for those who are into that sort of thing: It’s a 3-dimensional electronics version of Tetris - this is what it looks like with both the motherboard & battery removed, plus with everything installed. The space inside is tiny, nearly half the size of a netbook, so I spent a long time sourcing the absolute smallest parts you can buy that met all of my requirements. Inside the book is a full, hand-assembled desktop computer. As mentioned earlier, turn on 'Display Gameplay Context Subtitles' to make this a little easier on yourself, if you can't really discern the sounds."And it was real." - Catherine, realMyst trailer
if you hear a clink and a spin, that means northwest). Soon you'll hear two tones, which mean you need to travel in the direction between those tones (i.e. These correspond to the directions you learned in the Mechanical Age, but if you've forgotten:Īt each junction, orient your craft in the direction the sound indicates (hit the red button to listen again) and then go forward. Save before you throw the left lever forward twice, taking you down into the maze and forward the only open track (note that this puzzle does use the right thumbstick for movement rather than the d-pad).įrom here, you'll hear a tone or tones at each junction. The red button will play a sound, because sound is how you're getting through this maze. The center dial shows your heading, the left lever controls your movement, and the right lever controls your orientation. Hop inside and head to the control panel. The plaque at the top should read 59 volts. Go behind the elevator and climb the ladder with the key insignia. Now, follow the path forward down a long pathway to the most infamous puzzle in Myst: the Mazerunner. (If you don’t know how yet, refer back to About the Map in the Library.) The lookout slot should be lined up to view the Spaceship. In the original game, the order is as such:Įthereal crystal, running water, wind, lava rumbling, clock. Write down this order, and then return to point A to input them in sequence. Once you've aligned all the sounds, hit the sigma button (Σ) and the sound buttons will light up in sequence if you've done it properly. You'll know you've got it aligned properly if you can't hear any static. To proceed, you need to rotate the dish and 'tune' it like a radio to the proper receivers for the sound represented by the icon.
