Instructions
Just load, lean back and enjoy. Pulling the B/W switch will not advance the
effect. A version with a menu is included: you can
choose between the PAL and NTSC version. The NTSC version has 20% faster music
and is only a rough port with number of lines and colors adjusted.
The menu runs on 60Hz with coloring that works with both PAL and NTSC.
The online version does not feature the menu, but only different versions
for PAL and NTSC.
The code has been slightly updated since a few bugs were found and fixed
during the creation of "Gar Nix".
Note: This demo is not SuperCharger compatible, since the SuperCharger does
not support CommaVid RAM. A separate SuperCharger version is included inside
the archive. This version will break the 512 bytes limit, though: the PAL
version is about 550 bytes, not counting the padding and tape header.
This package includes:
- menu version for both PAL and NTSC (2k)
- 512 bytes PAL version (will most probably not run without any padding)
- 512 bytes NTSC version (will most probably not run without any padding)
- 2048 bytes PAL version (padded for running in Stella, Harmony and Uno Cart 2600)
- 2048 bytes NTSC version (padded for running in Stella, Harmony and Uno Cart 2600)
- 8448 bytes PAL version (different setup code for running in SuperCharger hardware)
- 8448 bytes NTSC version (different setup code for running in SuperCharger hardware)
- 8448 bytes PAL version (as mp3 for uploading to original SuperCharger hardware)
- 8448 bytes NTSC version (as mp3 for uploading to original SuperCharger hardware)
