no, this time, it doesn't work : same bug + a bug on the plasma before space cut

[sjakie43]

hi,

Hmmmm,immediate_blits=false.try that>>>

Then the plasma works!but in an earlier part
the harts are visible in the moving blocks.
The black object stays.

[heavy]

...and the first 3d part have bad colors (seems no aga)

[sjakie43]

It's a hard nut to crack i guess.

Please keep trying ,i hope it's gonna work.

Time for bed....

good night

Well sjakie, you did not notice any reply from me. True, but I have been working the last 2 weeks on the demos in question behind the scenes as a sort of "after-work project"!

Note: "Error code 103" = Out of memory!

Authentik>> WB1.3 screen

AGA! - A1200, 2 MB Chip, 2 MB Fast

Crash>>starts loading then stops, 1> ...nothing

AGA! - A1200, 2 MB Chip, KS3.0, 68EC020 CPU, JIT
- Does not work with JIT off, maybe a WinUAE timing bug?
- The big font is garbled - rest works OK.

Fplay>>unable to run exe, error code 103

Demo is called "Fairplay" and it's in Finnish! It does not require AGA but it cannot run on plain 68000 either!
A500, 68020 CPU, 4 MB RAM (2 Chip + 2 Fast)

Hard Day>>starts loading then stops, 1> ...nothing

AGA - A1200

IL Tis>starts loading then stops, 1> ...nothing

A500 + 2 MB Chip RAM + 68EC020 CPU
NOTE: WinUAE has a timing problem here!
As a preliminary "fix", use "Fastest possible" to get past the point when it freezes at the ILTIS screen (after the yellow-ish "time tunnel" graphics).

One Arm>>starts and ....Guru meditation!

Kickstart 1.2 (33.180) only!
Does not even work with Kickstart 1.2 (33.166) on A1000! The guy who packed this must have been a real idiot to just pig-headedly bind it to one KS revision!!

Raging Fire>>unable to run exe, error code 103

AGA - A1200
EXTREMELY SLUGGISH. This demo needs an extremely powerful PC to run properly.

Rain>>WB1.3 screen

HD ONLY! (binary is 3,224,944 bytes!)
A1200, 2MB Chip, 16 MB Z3 (normal fast may be zero), 68040 CPU

Re Run>>starts loading then stops, 1> ...nothing

Works with plain A500 configuration - no probs here.

Smoke bomb>>WB1.3 screen

HD ONLY! (binary is 3,419,296 bytes!)
A1200, 2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast

Hi Andreas,

Very nice to hear this!

I will check it tonight.

The only prob i have is:
The script can only say v1.2 by example,so i dunno
how to make a difference between kickstarts with the same name yet.

I need someone to make some adjustments to the gemus script i guess.

Also some settings are not in the script(yet).(video card by example).

But for now i can add a lot of demos so that's for the near future?

About HD demos,,,i have no idea yet how to implement this at the moment.

But first i will check your post with the demos tonight.

Regards

Cool, looking forward to getting any sort of reports of success, bugs, etc.

The script can only say v1.2 by example,so i dunno
how to make a difference between kickstarts with the same name yet.

Should not be a problem! 1.2 (33.166) was shipped with the A1000 only, so it's far less common.

Well ... just to make another thing clear in my post: 68EC020 is a kind of "slim-line" 68020, i. e. without FPU and friends, usually found on stock A1200 motherboards. You will always be able to run on 68020 too; this config is only describing the minimum requirements.

Hi Andreas,

did some checking::

Authentik>still wb screen,tried dif versions of file
Crash>youre correct,only i have no way to put JIT of or on in the script. (although it works with kickstart 3.1).
Fairplay>works ok now!

Raging Fire>works ok i thinks,what happens after the bull picture?

Hi Sink,

I will check your findings right now!

Major Delight 1>>wb unknown command cls

True, as this disk is rotten but it is the only one available from amigascne, too! You have to manually (!!!) load the demo by typing 'flt'. The menu can be loaded by 'type menu'. There's another file on the disk, which seems to be broken too, called 'intro' (Error code 121). Block 923 revealed the first data block of a DisasterMaster virus program ('cls'), which joins to blocks 792, 793 and 794. Time for a redump!!

[sjakie43]

hi, sink

please give me some info.

Amiga rules>what setting exact?(script i showed?)
Extra value pack 7>setting?
Never where>setting?
Tekkno Trax>setting exact?
Trashcan>setting?


On these demos i need all settings please

Hi Andreas,


AHA!

I will put this info in the master database for later !

sjakie43

[sjakie43]

Well,

It's enough for today ,i have more work to attend to.


Be back tomorrow yes?

OK, cool thanks.
I looked it up again and I found out that DisasterMaster virus is RESPONSIBLE for the first line in startup-sequence showing 'cls *'! Apparently the virus (i. e. the bogus "cls" program") was deleted from the disk but the first entry has not been removed!

Amiga rules>what setting exact?(script i showed?)

I can tell you too!
Minimum req.: A500, 2 MB Chip, KS2.04, 68EC020 CPU
Colors on logo are WRONG!! Could be a WinUAE issue...
Apparently not compatible with A1200: demo breaks with either KS 3.0 (39.106) or KS 3.1 (40.068)!

Gold Disk>>bad dump I think

I thought that too!
But it works with Kickstart 1.2 (33.180) (and again fails with KS 1.2/33.166 - GRRR!)

Mega Demo III>Guru meditation!

Yup...possibly because they made a big mistake: they did not remember to unpack both single sided 440K DMS files on the *SAME* disk!! With the ones on POUET.NET, you DO have to do it this way!
Could get everything to work except from the short "EGO part", which appears a bit garbled...(disk fault??)

Nice scroller>starts and ....Guru meditation!

Crappy code in ancient decruncher - same shite as 'One Arm', committed by the same group: DEXION!
Again needs KS 1.2 (33.180) and even 512K chip mem only in total!
Also breaks with > 0K bogo RAM set - so remember to turn this off!

Boys in Blue>>starts loading then stops, 1> ...nothing

Yes! Because this appears to be a BROKEN binary! xfddecrunch gave me a data error! However, I could "unpack" the binary using PowerPacker 5.0b Professional, but it was of no use! Firstly, a recrunch of the depacked binary failed (no hunk header) and eventually I got an "Error code 121" when trying to start the uncompressed demo binary - seems we have to look out for a non-corrupt binary!

When we ride on our enemies>>WB1.3 screen

HD only - binary is 3,751,648 bytes!
AGA! A1200, 2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast, Fastest Possible, 68040

hi Andreas,

Amiga rules> working! 2 parts only?
Gold Disk>working!
Nice Scroller>working!


the demos that don.' work yet i will add comments.

Seen MD III images in the zone? I should've mentioned that

[sjakie43]

what do you mean>?

The zone>cannot enter
