'''Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity''' is an adventure game based on the television series '''Star Trek: The Next Generation'''. Published in 1995 by Spectrum HoloByte, the game uses a point-and-click interface and features an original story line, full-motion video, and the voices of the entire main cast from the television series.


==Installation==
The installer will not run properly with the default DOSBox settings. The issue is that the installer cannot always properly detect the speed of the CD-ROM and will either stop responding or not allow installation to proceed.

The following settings should allow the installer to work:
* The CD-ROM must be mounted with basic MSCDEX support only (no low-level support).
* The [cpu] section of dosbox.conf ''must'' have both of the following:
** core=normal or core=simple
** cycles=max

The speed test may need to be run more than once before it works. If the installer will still not work, try one or more of the following:
* Dismount any other drives that have been mounted with MSCDEX support.
* Copy the files from the CD-ROM to a folder on the harddrive, mount the folder with basic MSCDEX support, and run the installer from there.
* Copy the data track from the CD-ROM to a .iso file, use the IMGMOUNT command to mount the .iso file (use "-t iso" when mounting), and run the installer from there.

Again, the speed test may need to be run more than once before it works.

==Setup==
The setup utility requires that the CD-ROM be mounted with basic MSCDEX support. Otherwise, no special settings are required. The sound and video autodetection should work without any problems.

==Running The Game==
The game requires the same settings as the installer, except that cycles=auto may be used instead of cycles=max in the dosbox.conf file. Also, it is important not to use core=auto or core=dynamic while playing because it will cause the game to crash when the tactical station is used. With a proper setup, the game will run without any problems.
