ilmenit Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Yup, it should optimize faster. With how LAHC is done now (with multi threading) I couldn't make the DLAS work properly yet. I will probably need to implement it first to solve some easier optimization problem, to have a reference implementation.

Given the sad news of the death of Vangelis I thought it a good time to bring some of my conversions together and post em here. **** PAL images from and inspired by the iconic 80's sci-fi film Bladerunner with a video of the slideshow set against a backdrop of the classic musical score. Also attached is the slideshow compiled via Sheddy's Rastaslide (ver 3.3) as well as a zip of all the separate XEXs, (latter containing an extra surprise "bonus" image with a twist which couldn't be included in the slideshow). Thanks @Sheddy for the bug fix mentioned in your post above that now allows me to compile a slideshow without displaying image filenames in between slides. The image slideshow itself doesn't last long but I've let the music run on for much longer as it is so good. NOTE: Said surprise image features in the video at 5.50min onwards and is available in the XEX image zip as it couldn't feature in the slideshow. (All will become apparent if you either download the XEXs or watch the video at 5.50min - where also skip to 7.14mins in. ) (BTW Surprise is courtesy of the Atari 8-bit demoscene legend known as FOX (of Numen and Drunken chessboard fame) - thanks Fox.) Enjoy and RIP Vangelis.
