General Information:............................ . . .
The ParaCon 6 is taking place from November the 19th to
November the 21st 2004 in the DLRG-Heim in Selter/Ts just
like the past years. The party place opens at 17:00 on
friday and closes around noon on sunday.
Again, the focus lies on Atari 16/32-Computer enthusiasts
as well as Commodore 8-Bit fanatics. Also welcome are all
Sega Dreamcast players.
The attendance fee is again 12 Euros and breakfast on
both saturday and sunday is included.
. . . ........................................ ParaCon 6 Invitro
Again, i'd like to apologize for the massive delay
on this little intro, which runs on the following
hardware:
An Atari ST compatible computer, having at least
1 Megabyte of RAM and a colour monitor.
Atari STE and Falcon is supported, an RGB monitor is
recommended then. The intro runs on the Atari TT but
behaves funny on that.
If you run into problems using accelerators, extended
operating systems or something, please try on a so-called
clean machine.
Also, in case your emulator has problems running this -
sorry about it, but it's not guaranteed to work with emulators.
Credits:
Background graphic of the main effect by an unknown artist
Music "Crokett's theme" by an unknown artist as well
Music-Replay Routine by Ninja III of The Independant
Fundamental Demo Environment initially by Evil of DHS
Roto-Zoom routine based on the one by Gizmo of DHS
All other code and graphics by The Paranoid
The intro might behave slightly funny on the Falcon
on VGA monitors. It seems that the mod-replay
routine by Ninja III is quite intelligent and
reacts to the VBL occuring more often on VGA than
on RGB. This has influence on the screen swapping
and results in jerky movement of the scroller.
I tried to conquer this problem by cleverly
arranging the interrupts, but the problem is
not fully solved.
Meanwhile i have also monitored problems on
the Falcon using RGB-monitors. Again, it
seems to be connected to the replay-routine
but i am running out of time to investigate.
Also, the synchronisation of effects and
music is based on a 50Hz display.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
The demo has been tested to run on an
Atari Falcon030, with and without
Nemesis, NVDI 4.11, VGA and RGB, an
Atari Mega STE4 with NVDI 4.11 and
an Atari 1040STf.
To be honest, the intro is mainly
dedicated to the MegaSTE - It's a
bit slowish on the ST, mainly due
to the mod-replay ...
