realoaded is a collection of the four award-winning demos (non interactive multimedia presentations) from realtech released between 1994-1995 finally 'remasterized' for latest 3D hardware in a single application, with High-Definition and 64-bit support.

It features up to 25 minutes of demo, including: Dimension (First PC demo with antialiasing), DX Project (World First PC SVGA Demo), Countdown (First Demo with  up to 1600x1200 resolution), Aquaphobia, plus bonus parts : Vector City, 6th Sense, a 3D module player based from RealMP.

Setup

realoaded uses V3X, realtech famous 3D engine, which can use either DirectX or OpenGL and has an video card detection that will adapt all the 'shaders' to match your system. Wide screen resolutions are supported, multisampling, anisotropy.  Check the 'Setup' in the menu.

DirectX9  version ( Windows version only )

By default, the application is using DirectX 9.0C. Most people should have DirectX 9.0c already as part of Windows XP SP2. 
If you don't have it installed, the DirectX Renderer won't be available. It will uses the OpenGL render path.

The engine will automatically adapts to your video card : So, a Geforce2MX will works, but effects will be disabled. Starting with Pixel 1.4 support, most of effects will be there (like specular bump mapping), but for best experience, Pixel Shader 2.0 is recommended.

OpenGL version (MacOS X, Windows if only DirectX 9.0c is not available)

Again, the engine will automatically adapts to your video card : A Geforce2MX will works, but some effects will be disabled. Starting with ATI R200 generation, fragment shader will be supported, but for best experience, ARB fragment program is recommended. OpenGL 2.0 is also supported.


Bonus pack : Module player / Party Reports / Music Disks

You can download the bonus pack with :

- All the music disks.
- All the slide show and party report.

To access, go to Special Features, Demo Art.
During the slide shows and party reports, press 'Space' to pause, and left and right keyboard keys to navigate.

In the module player, where all the music disks has been added, use the mouse wheel or the up and down keys to scroll the playlist.
If you are using the multimedia keyboard, you can use the play / pause / previous / next track button.

This package unlock some menus within the application. It's available in the archive 'realoaded_by_realtech_2.zip'

Trouble shooting

There is some command line parameters, in case of problems :

-d3d : force Direct3D renderer (only for Windows)
-gl : force OpenGL renderer
-demo : run only the demo (no front end)
-nocache : do not copy the demo resource in memory (slower, but saves ~20 MB)
-nosound : disable sound
-reset : reset all parameters

else

http://www.realtech-vr.com/support/ for support

During the demo:

F9 : create a screenshot on the desktop.
F12: display current frame rate.
Space: skip parts.
~: Display console
