yes the demo was good, but did it anyone get to run on real hardware?

it does not matter if i use fat16 or not, the thing does not start.

which crt did you use, and which firmware version?

It's not lame to ask for videos of console demos, is it?

dcclark, does not work at all on any slot1 crt

Very cool prod, looks much better on real hardware than it looked on the stream !

No go with my R4.

@elkmoose I got it to run successfully on a fat DS with a supercard CF (slot2)

Finally having a secondary screen makes actually makes sense

really nice to see Scarab on a new platform, so a thumb up to see more (and the DS can surely do more !)

This was niiiiiice m8s. nice to see you are active again.

the gfx was very nice dan dee. great work. and so was the rest too :)
rulez added on the 2009-04-13 23:09:14 by Proteque Proteque
Nice to finally see a good demo on DS. Still some way to go to reach the quality level from some GBA demos.
rulez added on the 2009-04-13 23:25:02 by Bobic Bobic
Geee, what a nice use of the double display.
Great plot, gfx, code and soundtrack.
4th is an ungrateful ranking for such a nice piece of work.
Tough luck, I love it.
rulez added on the 2009-04-14 00:01:22 by d0DgE d0DgE
Really nice graphics....but the 3d would be impressive if it were on a GBA. At least its smooth. :)

Anyways, since this was my second favourite in the compo, i must second dodge. 4th is not that good...
added on the 2009-04-14 01:08:08 by Exin Exin
wonderful, simply amazing.
Made me shade a tear or two...

Should have won. Rocks.

Sadly doesn't seem to run on my M3DSsimply (Card formatted with FAT16). Only a white screen. But I've seen it at the party.
added on the 2009-04-14 09:07:04 by Raven^NCE Raven^NCE
Raven^NCE: remove writeprotection from .nds file and patch it with r4-dldi then it works on that card
added on the 2009-04-14 11:15:10 by elkmoose elkmoose
Fucking great demo!

And if you'd remembered to greet IRIS you might have won! ;)

techno music,
3D star ships, 1 is shot down to a planet,
voxel heightfields, 3D wireframe grid rotating,
3D greeting words zooming in,
vertical rubber band,
light sprites, crystal ball or lense effect over horizontal scrolling picture,
credit words scrolling upwards

Great demo! It was fantastic to see this on the bigscreen.
At last, there are good demos for Nintendo DS.
rulez added on the 2009-04-15 12:58:21 by ham ham
What ham and earx said. Finally a demo that uses the two screens like they should.

yup!

Starts here (M3Simply), but doesn't work well - missing textures in starship part, square flares instead circle ones etc.
added on the 2009-04-15 19:05:41 by kempy kempy
i think this is a issue of the used filesystem.

crash on ninjapass x9 just before the starship launches. too bad :(
cool!
rulez added on the 2009-04-16 09:17:28 by Manwe Manwe
Problem is indeed the filesystem. We experienced similair bug on our different cards. So far it runs on:

M3Real - latest firmware - FAT 16 (FAT32 showed missing textures and timinig problems)

M3 Simply - 1.14 - FAT 16
(tested on 1.07 and it shows two white screens after loading)

Don't know if this is the right location to collect this kind of information, but I think it helps all if you could continue the list, beside giving us thumbs up ;)

I don't remember seeing this -- maybe missed the compo -- which is a pity.

I'm impressed by the direction exploiting the two screens.

Great one. I like it a lot. Music, gfx all fit perfectly. At the start I had an association with Neuromancer.
