This install applies to "Monoxide" © 1992 Vanish.
Requirements:
-------------
This install requires WHDLoad and DIC 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 (+0.9 MB for preload).
It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").
Features:
---------
- Full load from HD
- Access fault fixed
- Check for extended memory fixed
- Decrunchers (StoneCracker 4.01) relocated to fast memory
- Reset patched to quit the demo
- Interrupts fixed
- NewIcon (created by me)
- Source code included as usual
- Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')
This is another one of those demos I had already patched back in the
day, back in 1997 I created a custom patch for it.
Today, after finishing the patch for the Don Martin music disk by Hypnosis
I noticed that there was no WHDLoad patch for this demo so I made one.
I had a first working version finished after about 45 minutes but then I
spent quite a bit of time making the end part work correctly as it was
originally relying on the fact that loading the last part takes quite a
while. I also had to fix an access fault which happened in the first
fullscreen picture part. The check for extended memory had to be fixed
too as it used a rather bad approach and only checked for extended memory
in the fake fast range. Other than that there were no major problems.
I always liked this demo despite the rather simple code which is usual
for Vanish demos. I still think it's the best demo Vanish ever released,
it placed 3rd at the World of Commodore competition.
I think it is still OK to watch 21 years after its release, there are
some nice graphics by Navy and the tune isn't bad either.
Enjoy the demo from HD and have a nice summer everyone.
