The CPUs in Commodore disk drives were almost identical to the ones powering the C64 itself. A later revision of the drive has a CPU that runs at double the clock speed of the computer.

I remember this being a popular Amiga demo. How they got it running almost intact on a C64 is :psyduck:

tbf it only took like 15 years lol

but yeah its insanely impressive!



found a couple quotes from the creators about how they did it on poüet:

quote:

Thanks for the positive feedback. Really cool to see so much positive feedback. :) It also justifies somehow it worth the serious effort we put into this project. As for the motivation from my part behind the reamke, JAC! already told it perfectly. We didn't make this to cheaply win at Bp or something like that... I wouldn't care if Oxy wins with their demo they would deserve it.

As for the trivial 'originality' critique, you all are right. We prepared for that since the beginning of this project and it glances off us easily. :)

Anybody with a little knowledge about c64 coding can see that there were serious issues realising this demo. It wasn't like a trivial thing to do all these effects in a c64 trackmo with decent looking. Hollowman you're wrong, we were seriously concerned all the way during the process that we will fail with it, it wasn't trivial. 14 years or not it was an Amiga 500 demo, and 80% of the effects gave us serious problems. One of the biggest concern was to be able keeping the quick pace of displaying all effects without losing the timing to the music (30-40 different screens), since nearly all parts were quite demanding with memory usage. Doing effects like the blown up filled vector or realising the intro vector scene or the falling bricks transition effect were very hard to get over with. We will make a final more polished version with a readme file to the people who liked the present version and are interested about the obstacles we had to solve.

@Dane, since you attacked 3 effects of mine, I have to respond in short:

- X rotator+Jelly picture: going to the borders wasn't a probelm, but one have to consider the aspect ratio of the original picture and the visibility area of the effect. However the interlace mode I think is an improvement to hide the blocky resolution there and works well.

- Zoomscroll: +H2K has better resolution yes, but one have to consider the Z movement. Look at the calm sinus of my version when the scroll approaches the minimal size, and compare with +H2K. This is due to my totally different approach realising the effect.

- Chessboard bender: complaining about 8 pixels height difference is out of the point, since one have to consider the rastertime I left for depacking the next part (remember it's a trackmo). Notice the better looking and longer waves (I faked an 512 long sinus movement instead of standard 256) despite the resolution difference due to more accuracy. The every line d021 was intentionally avoided to have solid colors in every chessrow.

All in all, It was very hard to ponder all possibilities and choose the seemingly best compromise for most effects...

@Optimus: the Reflex balls were smaller (12*12) and have a fixed Y movement thus not having real 3d movements, so we decided to skip that approach. Our version has lower resolution and speed but has 24*24 big balls, transparency, clipping, and using a 80 pixels wide 4x4 fli mode (covering the fli bug as well). As I said it was a question of choosing the best compromise here too.

quote:

hi there. thanks for all the kind words. i expected massive feedback like this but wasn't aware that even my music conversion job will be marked in such a way. =) thanks again! some people asked about the player... apart from the hidden part tunes *hint hint* which were made in goattracker, all demo tunes are composed in the somewhat faster driver 6 from laxity/MoNs sidfactory. thank you thomas for implementing some requested stuff for your favourite bugger! you see, i even didn't use the most powerful player around and also had to deal with some out of instruments/effects issues so the result could have been even better. however... one last word to all the "originality" whiners. we have been involved in other more original releases but this time, we took the challenge to do a remake and believe me it WAS a challenge in every aspect! WE KNOW it lacks on the originality side of course and it's a bit pointless to tell us we should stick to original demos, really! for me, not only focus or fairlight demos are good and i think it's the different demo concepts that makes the scene so colourful and this also includes a remake if it's well done like in the case of desert dream or simply a traditional hardcoded oxyron demo without proper concept. ;-P the worst comment came from dane (I'm quite sad to see such a positive hype over something that is neither original nor filled with extremely hard stuff). sorry stellan but this was dissapointing and even sounds a bit jealous - but of course you are not, maybe it's the words that are chosen in a clumsy way. ;) hugs to kefrens, the C64 DD crew and all downvoters, i love you! =) /fanta

I forgot this thread existed and should have posted it here, so here's a repost:

quote:

Was anyone here into 90s Amiga mods/trackers/demos? I'm trying to find a dance/techno track that had a vocal that said "What. Is. Love". It wasn't sung, it was said as 3 separate words. Not Haddaway or Howard Jones samples, either.
I thought Human Target or Jesus on Es, and it's not those but definitely from that period. Around the time of 9 Fingers, Hardwired, etc, but I don't think it was a demo, just a music track.

The drat thing is going through my head the last few days and I'd love to find it so at least my brain isn't feeding me just that sample and some drum beats.

Someone located the vocal sample I was thinking of:

Flipperwaldt posted:

Take the first 30 seconds of that, but for that riff after the vocal, make it way harder and bassier.

unrelated: There's a Danish tv show called Troldspejlet (the magic mirror, a reference H.C. Andersen's Snow Queen), it's been on the air for like 35 years (or idk it's maybe a podcast now?). Anyway, in the early 90s they used to sign off with a segment called Pixels where viewers could send in the stuff they'd made on their home computers. Lots of weird Amiga animations by teenagers & occasionally some neat demoscene stuff:

A couple episodes cued to the segment:

Nice I love demo scene stuff, I didn’t even know what it was until not that long ago when I was reading about media molecule and one of the guys who started the company, Alex evans, got started with programming and cg etc through demo scene stuff. don’t really know much about it still, but I enjoy watching random stuff on YouTube.

This one continues to be my favourite because of the obscenely weird hacks needed to pull off things like a 1024-colour mode on a composite CGA card and 3D software rendering on a 4.77 MHz 8088, and the heavy use of rapid arpeggios in the music to try to make your brain hear chords out of the PC "beeper" speaker.

Also the credits using using some neat CPU-driven timing code to rapidly oscillate the speaker to produce ADPCM output is extremely cool.
