Android8675 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Going to Atari Party 2014, bringing an 800 with Incognito, I need some demo suggestions I've got games a plenty, but hoping there might be people interested in just toying around with the Incognito features, even if it's just demo scene stuff. Looking for stuff that's E for Everyone, NTSC, isn't a time sink, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm only in PAL land, so I don't know how these titles look on NTSC (or fail) * Flop Magazin Intro #54, #55, #56 and #57 ... very nice intro's * Boogie Nights * Drunk Chessboard (already older, but still great) * Silly Things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such flicker on PAL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The plasmas flicker a lot on NTSC. No such flicker on PAL. The timing is also off in NTSC - the music plays too fast, and finished before the demo effects. Shame, as it's one of my fave demos, even more impressive considering the 16kB size. This is why I keep a PAL machine (much modded) around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have Boogie Nights, I'll check chessboard out if it looks ok on ntsc. The plasmas flicker a lot on NTSC. No such flicker on PAL.

+MrFish Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Xanth and Atari. Simple, cool, and you can interact with the Xanth demos: GTIA (Robot & Spaceship Demo) Atari 8-Bit Boink FujiBoink Swan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The timing is also off in NTSC - the music plays too fast, and finished before the demo effects. Here's my attempt to hack Drunk Chessboard for NTSC: drunk-chessboard-ntsc-hack.xex Source on github. This executable applies the following patches if it detects that you're running on an NTSC machine: Shorten plasmas so they finish in one frame (no flickering) Slow down music to fit NTSC demo length. The whole demo takes a little longer on NTSC because some of the effects run slower. A bonus is that the music now has a cool swing beat since an eighth note is no longer an integer number of frames. Shorten credit screen display kernels to finish in one frame There are still some visual glitches here and there and some of the effects run at half frame rate, but it's a start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The previous version doesn't work under DOS. Here is a fixed version: drunk-chessboard-ntsc-hack.xex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Someone should hack all the best demos to run on NTSC, and make them .xex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterpiggle Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hello Lynxpro and android8675, are all the demo for Atari Party 2014 and must limited up to PG-13 in any demo ? There are only 1 or 2 adult demo in PAL system but I will not show those demo to any kids at Atari Party 2014... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android8675 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 wasn't planning too do any adult, it is a library, I think the porn rules and libraries are universal. Anyone have a link to the Xanth demo disk? Specifically wanna check out Swan, but all the links on Pouet seem busted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
