Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Back in '87 I saw an Atari demo (an in-house production, like the Robot demo) that looked like it was in GTIA mode 9, and showed perspective-tiled floppy disks scrolling off into the distance (kinda like what "Shiny Bubbles" does with the ATARI name). Does anyone else remember this one? I've never seen it since. -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Yea, that's the demo that requires a 130XE since it uses the seperate Antic banking. Of course it was hacked to work on other extended memory layouts. Hang on.... Video Blitz. You want me to attach a copy of the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Got an ATR or executable of this demo anyone?? sTeVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hang on.... Video Blitz. You want me to attach a copy of the file? Sure. I couldn't find it on the 8-bit sites I checked. -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Oh, I remember that. I saw it at a user group meeting about 12 years ago, I think. It was either in our user group's library, or it belonged to our main 8bit guy, who I still speak with on a regular basis. I'll ask him about it and see if he has any specific info that he'd like to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 Hey, I found it (the 130XE version). Pretty nifty stuff. -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 For some reason I couldn't get this off of my disk, but I did find it on XL Search. This may only work on a real 130XE. vblitz.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 OOooo... pretty. Not the sort of thing you'll be seeing on the 64 (sorry, couldn't help myself). -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Nah, the C64 coders just do the "floor" effect realtime in half FLI... =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 It would be nice to locate a hacked version that doesn't require a 130XE. I've only found the same XE version online. -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 In case you didn't know: Start and Option change the speed of the movement. Select removes/replaces the 130XE logo overtop of the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 BTW.. this demo shows 8 frames at about 8K each (so there's the extended RAM), but if it used the main RAM too, it could have shown up to 14 or 15 frames (since the actual code is probably pretty small). -Bry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
