Title: Elvis Lives! slide show
Category: Demo
Size: 1 floppy disk (one side: 320kb)

Machine(s): Thomson TO8, TO9+. It might work on TO7(+16k), TO7/70 and
TO9 as well (I can't really test: emulators fail to correctly
emulate the disk controllers of these old machines). If the
disk loading fails for some reason, you might meet the guru
just like on the plain old Amiga!
Format: Autoboot disk. Just go into the basic and the demo will
start.
Packer: Modification of Exomizer2 to handle thomson images more
efficiently. The achieved compression ratio is about 50%
the size of the native data (16k).
Remarks: Pressing ctrl-c will jump to the boot menu. Pressing
space will break the waiting loop and directly load the
next image.
Finished 2nd at the Forever 14 party in the "other platform
demo" competition.
The version in elvisliv.sap is an improved version of the one
presented at the party. The images now remain displayed for
a fixed amount of time, and graphics looks nicer (converter
has been inproved). Use elvisliv_orig.sap to get the original
version.
