- game Amiga OCS/ECS Cyberwolf preview by Dekadence [web]
- Fantastic!
Runs really well and looks good already!
To think that Wolf3D was the main reason for me to get a 386SX-16, and set in the move from Amiga to PC.
If a game like this was around back then, who knows what would have happened :) - rulezadded on the 2019-04-23 10:14:34
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS De Profundis by Lemon. & The Deadliners [web] & Oxygene [web]
- Great demo, with a lot of beautiful graphics. Also great code and music. Clearly a lot of work went into this one.

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Eon by The Black Lotus [web]
- Very unconventional OCS demo. Top quality music, visuals and code.
To me it feels a bit like Another World 2.0. - rulezadded on the 2019-04-22 18:39:42

- Just tested, this seems to solve the problem on the PC/XT 5160, works fine now, and sounds great on that big loud speaker that IBM puts in there.
My 286 still has the same weird beeping in the menu and stack overflow crashes, so that may be a different issue. Might be related to the weird BIOS timer handler routine I mentioned earlier. - isokadded on the 2019-02-04 11:39:32

Maybe some issue with calling back the standard DOS timer handler (it calls it at normal 18 Hz rate).
Yes, that could be. Perhaps if the machine state isn't exactly the way the standard handler expects it, it may cause issues. Or perhaps the handler itself leaves the machine in a different state than when you called it.
The standard 18 Hz timer is in the BIOS, and different clones may have different behaviour there.
For example, the 286 I use, has a routine in there to read the turbo button status. I found that out because the turbo button stops working during certain games and demos, because they replace the handler altogether.
Anyway, I'll gladly help you to test and debug the code. - isokadded on the 2019-02-02 10:57:54

- Tried it on real hardware... didn't work 100%.
On my 286, both SB.COM and SBX.COM crash with an "Internal stack overflow". It works for a short while, but there's some random noises, even when you're in the menu, not playing sounds.
The display updates are also somewhat haphazard... They freeze from time to time, then get going again.
On my IBM PC/XT 5160, neither SB.COM nor SBX.COM play correctly. The music seems too slow, and there's random/garbled noise.
My guess is that the code inside the timer interrupt is too slow in complex parts, leading multiple interrupts to get 'piggybacked' onto the stack, eventually crashing the machine.
However, I do agree that this music is technically possible on even a stock IBM 5150 or 5160, given properly optimized code and bugfree code. - isokadded on the 2019-02-01 16:39:56

- Great sounds from the PC speaker!
Will try it on my XT soon. - rulezadded on the 2019-01-25 22:14:19
- invitation MS-Dos Outline 2018 Invitro by Desire [web]
- Final version is now released
Music player is fixed now.
Data and code have been adjusted so that it can now run on any 8088 or higher with 640k of memory.
VGA and Sound Blaster Pro 2 or compatible required (OPL3 chip at base address 220h). - isokadded on the 2018-04-19 23:32:46

- The amount of visuals and music that HellMood manages to squeeze out of just 256 bytes never ceases to amaze me.

- demo Commodore 64 We Come in Peace by Fairlight [web] & Censor Design [web]
- Very polished overall.
Has it all: insane code, nice music, good graphics, and nice pace. - rulezadded on the 2018-04-02 14:52:59
