Released - April 5, 1999
At the Error In Line convention
Hardware requirements:
- An ST, STe, MegaST, MegaSTe, TT or Falcon. Perhaps other
machines with psg/mfp/stlow resolutions can show it as well.
Not tested with emulators.
- 2mb RAM. Yeps you read correct, if your old ST only have
0.5 or 1 meg ram, it can't run this demo.
- It's tested with TT and Centurbo II using FastRam, and it
works well and framerate is boosted.
Software requirements:
- None, it runs from TOS, MagiC, MiNT, Geneva. Falcons can have
screen expanders enabled etc, it should work fine from any
circumstances. Well, not Linux ;)
Known Bugs:
- With FastRam machines (CT2/TT) and MiNT (N.AES) there is a
crash when exiting. This suggests there is a bug in the demo
somewhere. If/when I know what is causing this, an update
will be available.
Problems:
- Well certainly most problems will come from 1mb users
promptly trying to get it running. Don't bother, it !DOES!
need approx 1.7mb free ram!
- With FastRam, DO NOT enable malloc-alt flag! The malloc()
call is used for reserving screen-memory and it is totally
forbidden having this in FastRam! I would have used mxalloc()
but it is not included with TOS 1.xx. The load-alt should
be enabled for best framerate though!
- Falcon users with VGA might have problems with double-vbl
interupts, we suggest you download the twinsync patch program
if you have such problems. Notice! This only affects Falcon
with certain VGA monitors, if you have RGB or ST/STe/TT there
is no such problem. This is not an error of this demo, but
a known hardware problem with the Falcon. It can also be fixed
rather easily hardware-wise.
- With ST(f/m/fm) machines, there are interlaced palettes to emulate
4096 colours. This does flicker quite a bit, and we recomend that
you run the monitor at 60 Hz for less flicker.

Disclaimer:
- The authours of this demo take no responsibility for any
hardware, software, brains, eyes, ears damaged! You are
running it at your own risk.
Copying:
- Do whatever you want with it. Coverdisks, CDROMS, FTP archives,
BBSes, commercial sales... We don't care. The sourcecode will
be released when it has been cleaned up a bit and if anyone
asks for it.
Last words:
- Well, now before you start the demo, don't hope too much! It's
not a groundbreaker demo at all. Most stuff are things I did
on Falcon before, and you have probably seen it already.
- That's it, E-Mail us if you have any comments! Feedback is
always welcome no matter if it's positive or negative!
- Mc Laser says he is sorry he didn't had time to write any
scrolltext, and continues: "If you want music, contact me
at mc_laser@atari.org".
