[PC Demos] Hot sound & Vision CD-ROM

[Interceptor]

okay so its not amiga, sorry, but i'm trying to get an iso of this DOS demo cd that was doing the rounds back in the days.

even the guy who made it doesnt seem to have any, maybe someone here has this?

[prowler]

It's quite possible that I've got this CD. I'll have a look through my old media boxes and let you know.

[prowler]

Hi Interceptor,

Good news! I have both original Hot Sound & Vision 1 and 2 IBM PC CD-ROMs, each containing 600MB of demos and music from the erstwhile Sound and Vision BBS.

How would you like me to make the ISO(s) available to you?

[Interceptor]

wow, that is teh awesome.

hows best for you? its nice if everyone can get hold of them......

[prowler]

If you would like them both, then I'll upload them to my user folder on the EAB File Server in the next couple of days, and TCD can decide where they should go.

[Interceptor]

i have no idea where or what the EAB file server is but it sounds cool.

do i just wait for a message here from TCD in the coming days?

[prowler]

Keep your eye on this thread:

The EAB File Server login details are in the first post.

I shall post there that I wish to upload them and TCD will reply to tell me it's okay. If I then let him know when I have done it, he will announce where they have been moved to, so that everyone can grab them.

Yes, that's pretty much how we do it Cheers prowler, will try to move it as soon as you've finished the upload

Thanks, mate!

[Interceptor]

i was just thinking if its any easier i could just paypal you for a couple of CD-Rs...?

upload speeds on adsl and cable are kinda grim.

then later i could seed it or something if anyone else wants it.

[prowler]

I wil upload them to the EAB server. I have created the ISOs. Now I just have to compress and upload them.

I have not had a chance to do it yet, because I am trying to preserve ASAP a collection of floppy disks respresenting the coding history of the AlienBash programmers. I'm now down to just a few troublesome disks...

Don't worry, you'll get them. I'll probably start uploading the images before the weekend. I'll try and get the inserts scanned as well.

i also have "hot sound and vision 2" from 1994. i remember keeping it safe as it was a holy CD (it was , thank you rob barth)

what are you planning to use to watch those demos; dosbox or an old computer with GUS?

I've uploaded the Hot Sound and Vision ISOs to my user folder on the EAB File Server. When TCD has moved them, they will be available to download.

I will upload scans of the inserts to go with them tomorrow.

Edit: Done!

[Interceptor]

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster. Nice to meet you all!
I've been trying to get hold of the Hot Sound and Vision CD but can't find it anywhere on the FTP! Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Hi flystatic,

The Hot Sound and Visdion CDs are on the EAB File Server in the /Commodore_Amiga/Misc/Various/PC/HotSound&Vision/ folder.

There are archives containing both CDs in ISO format and the inserts are in the separate Artwork archive.

Awesome, found and downloaded. There were some excellent mods from the second CD that I lost over ten years ago, listening to them now through VLC. Ahh memories

Prowler, you rock.

Wow, I signed up purely to say a massive thanks for the uploads. Back around 1993 I bought the Hot Sound & Vision CDs and loved them, but a mate borrowed them and never got to give them back. I have just seen this forum and will see if they are still there to download, I hope so. I found here via Google search, sadly I never got an Amiga, but I did love my Atari ST in my pre-PC days, I would of course argue with my Amiga loving mates that my ST was the best. I think I remember bragging that mine had about .75 mhz of speed difference, ha.

By the way, if anyone can help me by naming the mod that says "oneknee, wu wu wu wu oneknee" then please let me know. Those aren't the correct words, but that is how it sounds. I have been looking for that mod again in over 18 years and I know it is on one of the sets.

Thanks again !!

Yes, they are still there, as you will have seen by now.

It would be appreciated if you let us know when you have found it.

Jeje. Lol now I've got curiosity to know what is that "oneknee, wu wu wu wu oneknee" mod

Ha, the funny thing is, now I have listened to them I am unsure if I have found it or not. The "Bad Boys" mod on the first Hot Sound & Vision could be the one I am looking for. But when I hear it now it doesn't sound overly like "wu wu wu oneknee" so am unsure if that is definitely it or not, but it seems to trigger something in my memory and could be thought of as saying "oneknee" I guess I will keep hunting though as half of me thinks it isn't it.

Shame things like Whacker Tracker don't work on windows, I remember creating some really amusing crap mods with that. My mate made a really good one called "Scum Mod" and it had samples from the movie Scum.

Any idea how I can play the music demos by people like Future Crew (I think that was their name, I remember a chess piece moving and stuff) as it won't work under 64bit windows. Is there any windows player that will play them ?

On an unrelated note, does anyone here know of a PC game sometime between 1993 and 1996 that has a intro where a soldier pops out of his tank and sees a rocket or something and shouts "incoming" in a really camp voice ? Yet another thing me and my mates used to laugh about. Guess this Hot Sound & Vision is bringing back the memories

Finally it was amusing to see those girl swimsuit photos again, I remember that being a big bonus when I got the CDs in a pre-internet world. Looking at them now they are so tame, but a definite plus back then as a 14 year old.

Sorry, but having problems mounting with MagicIso/Magic Disc... doesn't recognise the iso as a CD for some wierd reason.

[PaulyQ]

Sorry to bump, is it just me having issues with this ISO ??

[prowler]

I made the ISO images with ImgBurn. I never tried mounting them, as I have the original CDs. Since no one else has reported a problem with them, I just assumed everyone who'd downloaded them had burned them to disc.

I don't have the images on this machine now, but I usually mount ISOs in WinImage. If I have time tomorrow. I'll see if they work with that.

[prowler]

For some reason I can't explain, I am unable to open either ISO image with WinImage, in order to explore the filesystem or extract any of the files.

However, I can mount both ISO images with WinImage, so that they appear as a virtual CD-ROM drive, and then I can use Windows Explorer to extract, view or execute any file on the disc.

Try mounting the ISO images instead with MagicISO or Magic Disc (if they provide that option). Otherwise, simply burn them to CD-R.

[PaulyQ]

thats the problem... I use both MagicIso and MagicDisk already and it won't mount at all, i'll grab WinImage and see if that is any help (i.e. to grab some files and see whats on them)

Thanks prowler
