This install applies to "Megademo" © 1989 United Forces. Requirements: ------------- This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC to be in the path. These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package. To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert. The installed demo requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+1.1 MB for preload). It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey="). Features: --------- - Full load from HD (real files!) - Self-modifying code fixed - All OS stuff patched - CPU dependent delays fixed - All decrunchers (TetraPack 2.2) relocated to fast memory - Sprite problems fixed - Bplcon0 color bit fixes (x15) - DMA wait in replayer fixed (x9) - Byte write to volume register in replayer fixed (x9) - Interrupts fixed - DMA settings fixed - Wrong interrupt request checks fixed (x4) - CUSTOM1 can be used to boot parts from disk 2 - CUSTOM2 changes to disk 2 after parts from disk 1 have been run - CUSTOM3 sets loop mode to current disk or whole demo - NewIcon (created by me) - Source code included as usual - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del') Old UFO demo here with mostly rather simple parts but I always liked the first part, there are some nice tunes as well. And since I liked the UFO stuff back in the day I created a patch for this demo. There also is quite a bit of Tarkus Team bashing going on in the scrollers which was yet another reason to do the patch. :) Since the code is rather simple this wasn't much work, the usual replayer bugs had to be fixed and there also were some CPU dependent delays as well. In part 3 the code used WaitTOF() to wait for the vertical blank but patching that wasn't a problem of course. Some parts had problems with sprite trash on screen which was caused by buggy sprite pointers in the copperlists, I have fixed this too of course. The demo originally had no disk change, you had to boot the 2 disks separately to see all the parts, in this patch I have added an option to boot directly from disk 2, this can be enabled with CUSTOM1=1. I have also added a disk change option, this can be enabled with CUSTOM2=1, if you use this option the demo will automatically switch to disk 2 after all parts from disk 1 have been run. The third and last option is CUSTOM3, it can be used to set the loop mode for the demo, any other value than 0 will enable the "Loop whole demo" mode, i.e. the demo will restart from the beginning. This will only work if CUSTOM2 has been used! If CUSTOM3 is set to 0 the demo will restart the first part on the current disk. Default quit key is "Del" because F10 is used in one of the parts. The demo can be downloaded here: ftp://ftp.amigascne.org/pub/amiga/Groups/U/United_Forces/UFO-Megademo.adf ftp://ftp.amigascne.org/pub/amiga/Groups/U/United_Forces/UFO-MegademoB.dms Do not use the disk 1 DMS image found on the amigascne ftp, it is broken! Enjoy the demo from HD.
