What? It actually happened? I managed to finish this demo in time for
Sommarhack 2018!
There is both an RGB and a VGA (50Hz) version of MORE. Both versions are
identical and run at 50 frames a second on a standard Falcon030 with at
least 4 MB of ST-RAM (the demo requires about 3.5 MB of ST-RAM).
If you use Hatari, please run the RGB version of the demo to prevent the
effects from drifting out of sync with the music.
This demo was created and designed for standard Falcon030 computers. It
requires a 68030 CPU and must not be loaded into FAST-RAM. It should work
on CT6x equipped computers if run in 030 mode.
Some facts about this demo:
---------------------------
- The intro and the main-part use the ProTracker player by bITmASTER/TCE,
while the end-part uses the MP2 player by NoCrew.
- The main-part music was made by XiA many years ago and ever since I
first heard it I have wanted to create a demo using it. I figured now
was the time.
- The demo uses 8.6 MB of disk space due to the MP2 used in the end-part.
With its 5 minutes at a bit-rate of 192kBit/s (49,170Hz) it makes up
6.7 MB of the 8.6 MB.
- The DSP is (sadly) only used for playing the music.
- All parts of the demo run in a resolution of 320*240 in either
8 bitplanes or TrueColor.
- The work on this demo started in September 2017 and was completed
9 months later, in May 2018.
- All code was written from scratch, including the demo system.
- The demo was primarily developed on a PC with Sublime Text
(text editor), vasm (assembler), vlink (linker), Hatari and PARCP-USB.
- Most of the time during development, testing and execution of code was
performed on real hardware using PARCP-USB. Thank you Petr Stehlik!
I love that little device!
If you enjoyed this demo, please let me know one way or another. It will
help me stay motivated, or if nothing else, make me happy!
Thank you for watching,
Daniel/New Beat
