Reverse - Future of the scene by Ketchup Killers [web]
<nice ascii logo wanted>
------------------------------------------------------------------- --- -- -
³ 1. Introduction
Welcome in "Reverse", the first public release of the belgian crew
K E T C H U P K I L L E R S (yes!)
What's good in this intro?
- nice and _intelligent_ Winblows piss-off (trojans sucks)
- hype effects (2D bump, tunnels, chaos blitter and flashs)
- incredibly slow but nice Water Fun effect
- good looking ketchup logo
- fantastic and exclusive music by Magic Fred/TFLTDV (thank pal!)
------------------------------------------------------------------- --- -- -
³ 2. Requirements
In order to run this intro you need:
- 486dx4-100 or better (P100 is recommanded)
- a mathematic coprocessor (speed dont matter only used in
various table precalculations)
- decent SVGA video card (640x480x256. VESA 2.0/LFB supported
if available. Load Univbe) available)
- around 2 megabytes of free memory
- a Gravis Ultrasound (classic,max,PnP)
For optimal performance runs this intro with your processor
in native mode: RAW or XMS. (although it will works in V86 too)
This intro runs _perfectly_ under Windows'95(tm) too.. It's just
slower than under plain DOS :) (you better have Gravis drivers
2.0 if you want to get some sound :)
Tested on:
- 486dx4-100 Tseng Labs ET4000/w32i Gravis Pnp
Gravis Max
- P100 Cirrus Logic Gravis Classic
- 486dx2-66 Tseng Labs ET4000/w32i Gravis Classic
- 486dx2-80 Cirrus Logic 5428 No Sound
- P166 STB Lightspeed 128 No Sound
- 586 Trident No Sound
- P133 Ati Mach64 (original) No Sound
The intro will runs without sound also but oh well..
(complains go quietly to /dev/null)
------------------------------------------------------------------- --- -- -
³ 4. Technical note
- 100% assembler.
- protected mode with Adam Seychel's DOS32 3.5á.
- heavy use of FPU opcode for table precalculation.
- sound system by Pascal of the Cubic Team. (v1.5)
- the svga engine detects and use the following modes:
- vesa 1.x banked only
- vesa 2.0 banked with protected mode switch function
- vesa 2.0 linear frame buffering
it's a good idea to load a recent version of Univbe
(http://www.scitechsoft.com)
- the full source code is available for $400 ;)
Approximate coding time: 2 weeks (party version)
