- demo MS-Dos Disgust by Camorra
- Camorra produced some extremely fast code, I agree they were underrated. For 18-bit fakemode fun, don't forget to check out Gustar.

- Tandy can't produce the video mode I invented, sorry! It doesn't look too bad if you run it anyway, so if you have a Tandy give it a shot.

- 4k MS-Dos CGA dots
- I, for one, would love to see the 8088+CGA revolution continue.

- Came across the soundtrack by accident and I can't get over how good it is. I never understood the 4mat mania back in the day but I'm starting to. The music is just outstanding. I getting chills hearing some parts.

- demo MS-Dos Copper by Surprise!Productions [web]
- The horizontal wobble is a card effect but it needs a fixed-frequency monitor to work properly, as multi-sync monitors will likely think a new mode is being set and try to sync to it. It works by using the Start Horizontal Retrace Pulse Register, which is typically used to center the screen horizontally by specifying the character position where the "horizontal retrace" signal goes active. You can do this trick on CGA adapters too, although it is much cruder on CGA. (Should also be possible on MDA and EGA but I've never tried.)
Some detailed testing over by one of the DOSBox authors revealed this:
Quote:
The line fading effect uses the attribute register 3C0h index 14h. VGADOC says: "Note: this register does not affect 256 color modes." The demo runs in 256 color mode.
I've tried the following cards:
ET4000AX TC6058AF - perfect
ET4000AX TC6059AF - no line fading
ET4000AX TC6100AF - no line fading
ET3000AX 11038F-0005 - no line fading, flood fill problem
S3 Trio class - problems with picture bouncing, wobbling, flood fill, zooming, no line fading
TVGA8900B - problems with picture bouncing, wobbling, flood fill, no line fading
OTI037C 8 bit - problem with wobbling, y-zooming, no line fading
KU82706 - problems with picture bouncing, wobbling, no line fading
So Tseng Labs fixed an incompatibility in later chip revision. This also means that DOSBox has a bug .
This demo was written for the TC6058AF.
So for anyone trying to run this perfectly, you need an exact version of the ET4000, or maybe an early ET3000 card. - rulezadded on the 2012-12-16 19:44:19

Hey, to everyone leeching and burning, make sure you play the right one for the refresh rate of the display device. If you are in north america use the NTSC one; if you are in europe and using a TV use the PAL one. If you're on a computer, you probably want to use the NTSC one so that the 30i video maps to your 60p device without dropping/adding frames... but it would be better to switch to 50Hz temporarily because the PAL one has the best quality.
All I'm saying is: If you see frame skip/add, it isn't MY fault :-) - isokadded on the 2012-05-17 23:29:33
