- Hey buddy. by the way, that demo DOES work on your system. Don't fret.
- It is the ONLY demo so far I have been able to watch the whole way through
- on my A500 1/2 meg chip 2.5 fast with only roms 2.04, ESC Agnes and EHB
- denise. Everything else so far has crashed in terms of demos with neat
- programming tricks. If there are others, please tell me. They don't have
- to be perfectly OS playing ones, but ones that will work with my setup.
- You cannot use the second floppy to load the second half of the demo.
- ok, here's what you see. You will get to THE MIDDLE and your light will
- flash. Then you will have a white screen with possibly a screwed up
- graphic glitch showing, BUT you WILL NOT have the typical guru appear.
- it will just sit there. Actually, when that happens, it is really waiting
- for you to take the 1st disk out of the 1st drive and replace it with the
- second disk. The loader in the demo will automatically start reading the
- disk and you will quickly see the next step of their demo.(Animated
- raytrace) <- not the best in the world but definitely not bad, especialy
- when they mention that 1 meg is not required for it.
- ok, so it screws up on a machine with my setup or better, but it
- IS usable and that's "getting there".
-
- P.S. -- I would love to get a list of demos or compile a list of demos
- that will run with systems like mine and above. Any response will be
- helpful.
