The ARMed'96 Demo from AF Software.
Read this before running it!
OK, so here it is, the demo of the year. No frills.
First, if your computer isn't curvy on the front and
ARMy on the inside, you can't run it.
You also need at least 1MB VRAM, the 16bit sound
system and a decent monitor.
The demo will run without 16bit sound, but it wont
look right.
You will need to add the two mode definitions below
into your mode definitions file, usually found in
!Boot.Resources.Configure.Monitors.
Your monitor has to be capable of 1280x1024 display
in 16 colours.
One the other screen mode used runs at 150Hz.
If your monitor has a heart attack when it sees this,
you can edit the mode definitions using Acorn's
!MakeModes to make it run at a lower speed.
If you don't have makemodes, try reducing the
pixel_rate line to about 30000 and see if that
helps. The demo wont go so fast, but at least you'll
be able to see it.
If you still cant make it work, go buy an Iiyama monitor!
