| Phew! After one month and a few days we have
| finally made a final version of this demo!
|
| It took us too long to make all the fixes we
| wanted and needed, and we know that, so, sorry
| and that's why here is the brief list
| of the changes:
|
| - Autodetects and fixes for the most common
| ZX models (128K/+2/+2a/+2b/+3 and Pentagon)
| - Some bugs were fixed
| - Sync was improved a lot in almost every part
| - Some parts were refactored for stable working
| - Pictures and effects were polished a bit
| - New credits screen was added
| - A lot of small details were fixed and updated
|
| Although Elysium State should work properly on
| all classic machines, it makes heavy use of our custom
| Beta Disk trackloader. Thus it's quite impossible
| to make a .tap version not ruining the whole demo flow.
| So you would need to have Beta Disk interface
| or DivMMC to run the demo. Sorry for that.
|
| Please also note that the "Selfie Girl" part
| may look strange on some hardware or emulators
| due to inaccurate timings emulation (e. g. Fuse)
| or inner hardware processing pecularities
| (e. g. ZX Evolution). In some cases this could be
| circumvented, but we decided to leave it as it is.
|
| During our tests, we found a flaw in the WD1793/VG93
| emulation on ZX Evolution/Baseconf, due to which the
| demo didn't run from the SD card, but worked fine
| with real disk drives (and Gotek). We have informed
| the authors and the flaw was immediately fixed
| in the latest firmware. So, if this demo doesn't run
| on your ZX Evolution/Baseconf, please update
| your firmware to the latest version.
|
| And at the end as the most important thing
| we desperately want to say our HUGE thanks
| to the following people we adore and respect:
|
| - iq (Inigo Quilez) for kindly permission
| to use his incredible Selfie Girl picture:
| https://www.shadertoy.com/view/WsSBzh
| (yes, it's a tribute to that amazing shader!)
| - rook and wbcbz7 from SibCrew for competition
| and supporting around
| - personally wbcbz7 for bughunting and on a real
| machine
| - introspec for helping with model detection and
| interrupt alignment routines
| - savelij/NedoPC for quickly fixing the firmware
| - jtn/4d for testing on a real machine
| - Ized/Quite for support
| - George Patsouras for original "Medusa" picture
| - Oxygene for STNICCC2000 (yes, you recognized
| it right!)
| - nodeus for helping with video capture
| - CAFePARTY organizers and visitors for such a
| great party
| - And you for the patience in waiting this one!
|
| Cheers,
| Stardust
