Ok finished letter S late last night.
At the minute the total demos is 263, so for the hardware test and first release i want to get that upto 300. I want to get as many AGA releases on here with the first release, i have around 43 after adding 15 or so from Cobe's disc. Obviously later AGA releases are aimed at higher hardware specs, so from early looks its mainly releases from 93-94 with a few from 1995 that may work. I will go through those this week, does anyone know if any AGA demos from 96 onwards work on 020 and 2mb ram?! If any i guess, but there may be the odd one without having to trawl through hundreds. I love the revival of OCS demos the last few years, some great looking demos, shows that the art is in the art and not just the horsepower of a machine, anyway i will start adding these after the next release. |

Have you looked into stuff that isn't WHDLoad installed but runs from CLI instead?
There ARE demos that run on 020 from recent years, some are OCS and all, I would have a look at pouet. For example, the amazing Rink A Dink Redux should run. [ Show youtube player ] http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?pl...&order=release The recently released MAKT by Spaceballs is another contender. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=68878 I am sure you'll get to 300 in no time! |

Oh yeah I still have 15 or so newer whdload slaves since the 2.6 update to add, but all the rest of the demos I will add will be direct loaded.
Yeah Pouet is my go to source along with a couple of other handy sites Demozoo etc I just thought I would ask about newer AGA releases, I think the newest I have working are from 1995, OCS on the other hand are still coming out on a monthly basis now. |

Plain AGA (2MB chip, 020@16Mhz) demos are hard to come by, unfortunately. I wish the platform took off. But I guess as long as people are happy squeezing OCS, there's no need for AGA.

Still plodding away adding a few demos everynight, in the meantime i will add a couple of folders for newbies to see some great demos quickly, something like;
10 unmissable ocs demos 10 unmissable aga demos Going by thumbs up on pouet, these are some of the highest rated that i have working so far; 10 unmissable ocs: state of the art hardwired desert dream arte rink a dink: redux enigma 9 fingers boogietown jesus on e's ? 10 unmissable aga: nexus-7 love friday at eight fullmoon switchback baygon the prey gevalia ? ? What other great demos would you like to see in this list or is a title here that should be swapped for something else? |

Pouet thumbs up are weird really.
On OCS I would most definitely put up TECHNOLOGICAL DEATH by Mad Elks. It's a damn classic. And having both 9 fingers and State Of The art... dunno... I never been too fond of those two to be honest, they aren't THAT great, but sure, classics. Don't have much experience with plain AGA demos as I expressed before. All the ones I can think of need an expanded CPU. Do any of the RNO demos of late work? Like Ghostown. |

Not sure what you mean about RNO, do you mean any of their demos or the group Ghostown? Not aware of any demo called Ghostown. |

Yeah my point was exactly that: 9 Fingers is good, but State Of The Art is the first one that made jaws be dropped. I feel 9 Fingers never had as much an impact as State Of The art.
And I am sorry about the confusion, I meant the demos made by both RNO and Ghostown. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=59144 <- This is ECS! http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=54649 <- AGA and might need accel, haven't tried. |

Yeah already have Boogietown on the disc, Metropolice needs faster cpu and more ram.
In reply to the previous question, i have 5 Ghostown demos and only 2 or 3 RNO at the minute from a quick look. Last edited by Amigajay; 01 March 2017 at 23:29. |

I downloaded 0.1b last night and had a little play Nice work.
I am using a PS2 pad with adaptor. I know the menu is not the correct one, but is it right that you can't go back once you enter a section? (i.e. A) Because you have to reset the CD32 after a demo has played, I only ask that the new menu be quite quick loading, like the current menu please. There was nothing more annoying back in the day on a game that when you died it took ages to get back into the game Is there a letter I can test? The first page does not have names allocated and I tired looking through the thread, but I guessed you might have a better understanding of which letters are left to test. The pouet list is a good idea. Also is there enough original Commodore tech demos to have a heading? Thinking about it, I for one have never actually run the 'bong ball' demo! Thanks |

Click on the two '..' at the top to come back out of a folder. Yeah that's the only annoying thing about having to reset after a demo, not alot i can do about that, still better than a disc like the Demo CD II where you have to load up workbench and use a mouse and hope they load! The menu is nearly done, its about 50k more than the one you are testing because yeah i didnt want it to take an age to boot up. No-one is done as yet for testing this new disc, so feel free to ask for a letter and i'll put you down. I want to get this first release out before adding more demo's, but yeah i want to add the bouncing ball on the next release. |

I had to take my little one home from nursery so had some time. Don't worry if they have already been tested but I have done L , O & Q.
I will only mention the ones with issues. L: Linus - runs ok but reset to menu at the end, and then other demos dont load (maybe add note in menu text to reset console?) Love and anarchy - has some pauses it then crashes out later. O: Obvious Disaster -ok , but menu has irrelevant text 'Thanks to Frank..' Odyssey - crashes a few minutes in with 'Illegal exception press left mouse button to enter debugger' - shame never seen this demo and it looks good. Optimum fuckup - maybe add to menu text 'Part 1 of Confusion trilogy' (npt sure if they ended up releasing others? Q: All ok Last edited by Higgy; 08 March 2017 at 17:11.
