TBL's EON demo Whdload
 

Hi folks,

Does anyone know whether a Whd version of Eon exists? Can't seem to find it anywhere and the disk version simply refuses to stop Guru-ing.

There´s no WHD version for EON. They said they were almost done with a hardrive version months ago. Still nothing :-(

With TBL's track record of releasing "final" versions of their demos, what do you expect?
It only took them 12 years to release Starstruck final version :)

I dont want to wait that long :D just have put in on 2 floppy disks - arguable or not, I find it awesome.

I've had no problems with this demo on ADF. Why is it guru-ing?

What kickstart and cpu are you using?
It runs fine on my stock A2000 apart from using kick 3.1
Not so well on my A4000.

Works fine on my 500, but on my A1200 or A4000, colors and graphics are corrupted.
Tried with relokick, same story. Glad I still have my good old A500 :)

Dawm, i have no floppy disks and no Gotek, BUT a PCMCIA Port and a CF/SD card in my A600.

I still waiting :spin

Stingray might have completed this awhile ago but he run into this read me issue

What's where he writes "code is great except for <lists all known coding issues>
but maybe EON is a perfect piece of code and he doesn't know what to say?

I jest of course...

I'm also interested in a WHDLoad for TBL-EON... I don't think we'll ever see an official final HD version ;)

Exactly. Maybe sting or someone else could make an unofficial version? :)

A WHdload version is most wanted for sure!!

Still nothing ?

There were some really great releases done by TEK which people would surely appretiate WhdLoad treatment of:

TEK Transhuman / Pachinkoland : https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=91267
download normal ADF version here: http://pc.sux.org/tomcat/TEK-Transhuman.adf

TEK Hologon : https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=88025

Better make a new request for other demos though :)

Why these groups don't release normal files instead of adfs (especially today) is beyond me. Files can still run from disks too... so why? There's a technical reason to make them prefer non-std FS floppies?

My guess is it's part of the art. But yes, normal executables are very nice to have when you have a HD (which is not uncommon anymore).

I guess you heard about Gotek?

It is simply the most easy and cheap way to run Amiga software.

Most of the adf files from sceners can be read from a Gotek and copied to HDD.

You can even mount the adf files without any Floppy at all. Try GoADF!

EON is 2 disc and require ECS chipset and Rom 1.3 from what I remember.
Try to run HDD with 1.3 ;)

I understand that a whd-load install would at least fix the 1.3 problem.

OCS/ECS demoscene competitions usually require A500 512k/512k and floppy disk. The whle thing is probably geared towards a track loader.

Sure, but the point is that they could use a std floppy with a S:Sseq to run an executable (so floppy or HD source is unimportant). But probably they wanted to squeeze even those few KB taken by std FS+SSeq etc. out of the disk size limit....
