This is predecessor of HSP and runs on PC-98x1 which is one of the architectures.
I heard SOUP means "Sequencial OUtput-control Program",
and it was used for developping of "PC's TV", but the predecessor itself wasn't publicized.
Although, light SOUP processor is publicized which is lite version of SOUP processor.
PC's TV is enable to download from ONION software HOMEPAGE.
LSP(light SOUP processor) is the interpreter programming language for integration management of viewing images and playing musics.

Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later Microsoft Windows NT3.5 or later Microsoft Windows 95 or later HSP1.x is 16bit application, so it works on almost all Windows, and is verified on both PC98 and DOS/V architecture. It requires an display which has 640x480 resolution and has up to 256 colors. Required memory size is variable. Because of displayed image, for example. HSP2.EXE needs nothing for running, so users don't have to install runtime or any plug-ins. |
