Well done DESiRE people. But why HAM when there's bacon? ;-)

It's funny that since BatmanGroup entered the race, now all other contestants are all doing Joker art, while it started from someone's beard :)

@Optimus it started from a tardigrade in Photon's original, but nobody wants to see that!

And this is going deeper and deeper in the abysses.... though going larger than overscan is going to be difficult (hi-rez anyone ? ;) ).
Congrats!

Very epic. Great soundtrack, too. And I like the transition to the main attraction. :-)

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well played, and an entertaining summer series. Keep em coming!

I'm not smart enough to understand the inner workings of copperchunky, HAM, overscan, etc., and whether this counts as a record, but it looks really good!

That's how you should present a new record! Congratulations, guys!
By the way, I still like the way it looks in HAM better than in exact 4x4 :)

Very nice with funny music (clapsnare = crap though)

Very cool

Nice pick for soundtrack and graphics, and the name was clever. Plus the music and texture are both well done.

Thank you for releasing your non-HAM version, it was cool to study. The HAM version is the star of course. I love that it is a sizable improvement over your own previous record, but on top of that you have added the rubber effect to it - everything takes time, but it adds style. Respect

Is 384 pixels the screen hardware limit? I dont think I've ever done anything beyond 352.

Very good looking and stylish execution.
The music itself gives it a distinctive touch.

It sounds very respectful from the mouth of the mighty Batman.
I agree.

This is great. All of these are great, but if I have to watch one more rotozoomer, I'll get dizzy.

I believe it is based on Photon's Coppershade article, and I was taking his word for it that all pixels can be displayed on some CRT monitors. If this proves not to be the case I will of course adjust my claim, and could potentially release a version with a similar pixel count in a less ridiculous width!

Nice subtle presentation. Big up!

Sweet indeed!

About the maximum overscan: Back when we did Slummy's Rubber Challenge, I experimented to find out how much horizontal overscan would actually be visible on A500. I arrived at 376 ($5c to $d4). I'm quite sure it's not bigger than that. Maybe it's even smaller in some setups.

Is there any limitation to how wide a HAM chunky can be apart from the overscan limit? Does it really make sense to talk about a width record here?

Of course, with VHPOSW tricks, the maximum overscan can be pushed even further (though there still might be no monitors capable of displaying it). But good luck doing that on OCS, where VHPOSW can only be written by the CPU. With ECS Agnus (which most A500s have anyway) it might be feasible, though.

very enjoyable production and amazing code, well done! :)

Great stuff overall but the music put a big grin on my face :)

@Blueberry No it's absolutely not a width record. The reasons I made it this wide are:
- just for fun in the context of the other records, even though it doesn't count for anything :-)
- to see how close we can get to Evil's 400px Atari version
- making it as wide as possible has a some benefit for the total pixel count (ssshhh!)

I based this on Photon's assertion that 384 can be displayed on some CRTs. I appreciate the irony of this given the history, and I'm also not trying to pass the buck in any way. Although I don't own the hardware to verify this, the fact that vAmiga emulator rendered all columns gave me some reassurance. It really does sound like I need to do a more reasonable version that can definitely be fully displayed.

I've been playing with VHPOSW tricks for *other things* and I agree it's a pain in the arse!

HAM versions still count in my book!

Very nicely played. Why HAM? Do you have any reference to read the details?
