Maybe one of the best Master System demos I have seen. The colorful bars were great, that mirrored animation (I assume) looks massive.

Great stuff as usual !
Nice invite on the Master System for the demoparty in Norway, second tune was better then the first one
Massive raster bar stuff. Also very inviting :)

Platform thumb.
Making an invitro into a proper demo thumb.

Great demo, I enjoyed every parts of it! More Master System please :)
Nice one!
Nice one.
It was interesting to see it compared to the CPC demo (Ghost NOP), as both demos have similar effects.
Please more SegaMasterSystem demos !!!
This machine has great potential and deserves more than an Invitation demo from you all.

Impressive.

By rendering the frames at build time. :)
Unfortunately, playing back the animation isn't straight forward. There are some limitations in the SMS hardware that makes it a little bit tricky.
The SMS only really supports tiled graphics, with 8x8 pixel 16 color tiles and 768 (32x24) tiles on the screen. With 8k VRAM there is room for 512 unique tiles, but in practice about 448 since some of the VRAM is used by the tilemap. In addition, updating the VRAM is quite slow since the CPU only has unlimited VRAM access during VBLANK. About 53 tiles can be updated during VBLANK with an additional 60 when the display is active.
To play back the full screen animation at 25 fps I had to cheat a bit. Only 192 tiles are used per frame, but fortunately the SMS hardware supports tile mirroring in x, y and both. The menger sponge looks pretty nice with the tile mirroring and by using different tilemaps there is some variation even though the tiles are the same.
In addition, each frame only use 4 colors (2 bpp), so each tile contains the pixels for two consecutive frames. Switching between the two is done by changing the palette.
If my calculations are correct, only 48 tiles (1.5 kB) must be written per video frame (50 hz), which is well within what the SMS can handle.
