Atari ST/E DEMO compo
Name: Out a Time
Coders: Sedma, Mikro, Baky
Music: X-Ceed
Gfx: Vasyl, Jade
Req.: Atari STE 4MB, lowres, 15 MB HDD
Released: 1.1.2025
Important: due to some unfortunate
design decisions related to audio
streaming, this demo is quite sensitive
to disk I/O speed. xferrate(*) reports
600-520 KB/s on mikro's machine and the
demo is fine, while on sedma's STE it
reports 400-1270 KB/s and the demo is
noticeably slower (fortunately only
close to its end). Hatari is fine. :)
Most audible error is the explosion
sound, if it's too much ahead of the
actual crash, most likely the I/O speed
is the issue.
In short: don't even attempt to run
this demo on SatanDisk and use a
fast SD card when running from an ACSI
device.
Short thanks list from mikro:
- 505
- evil
- insane
- mborik
- paranoid & ray for great tutorials
- system (without this guy there
wouldn't be any SV release!)
