Yes  I  too think there should be more hd demos on the amiga.  I usually
buy  alot of pd demos and am always pissed off when the disks are either
ndos  or wont run from hard drive.  In this day I thnk everything should
go on hd as more people have them.  What follows is a list of demos that
I`d like to see go on hd...

                              Jesus on e`s
                              Desert dream
                               Full moon
                              Nfa-roswell
         Complex-seduction and many more (which I've forgotten)

Most wont run because of the titanics cruncher,I`d like to see the demos
of  today  and tomorrow hd freindly but also run on a standard a1200 and
demos  that dont need any fast ram or are fussy about using every single
but of chip mem so you dont have to use no startup,disable stuff etc.

Also  look  no  further than this issue of the word..I`d like to rip the
modules  of  demos/slideshows and games and listen to them while writing
articles  as  I  love cou music,I know that freak and carnage have to be
carefull  because  people  will  use  them  in  their  own  demos  but I
wont...honest!   Its  also difficult for me to use a ripper as I haven`t
the foggiest idea.

So there you go we want more demos for our hard drives....NOW!!

Also if mok is reading this or anyone else doing hd installers for games
(one  that  works for mortal kombat 1+2 please on a standard a1200) then
please  make  them  work WITHOUT fast ram as not one pd company has said
that you need these specifacations to use them.  Thanks.

[I  use  a  program  called  Track2File  which will take a nDOS disk and
convert  it  to  a  file.   This  process  was  used in the Superfrog HD
installer  program.   As  for ripping music mods, I prefer Exotic Ripper
GUI  but  The  WORD uses a program called PREPPER which attaches several
bytes to a module's header.  Just load the mod (after unpacking it using
StoneCracker)  into  ProWizard  and it will say something like "Possible
Protracker  module  found" and tell it to save it and it will remove the
header  for  you!   Carnage  have  some  good musicians but they seem to
prefer MED rather than PT so we have some conversion problems.  If there
is  any  music  disk creators out there that can handle MED mods then we
have 200 of them unused!  Kei]
