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. Ta Sent from my G8341 using Tapatalk |

ThereĀ“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 |

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 |

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

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 |

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). |

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....
