- Unreal is one of the FEW demos that DO work on my GUS. One thing is that
- Unreal wants 600K free low memory. I just put DOS, mouse.com, sbos (has
- to be manually loaded), etc. into high memory, thereby freeing up enough
- base memory. I'm running DOS5.0, SBOS 1.22?(the new beta version) without
- flags, ULTRASND=220,7,7,11,5, BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T1.
-
- The other demos that I've tried & the success that I've had with them are:
- Amnesia- works, but not when SBOS is running
- Crystal Dream- ""
- Buttman- works until buttman farts, and then crashes whether SBOS runs or not.
- Chronolog- 1st part works, then crashes if SBOS is running
- Fishtro- makes machine noise until the fish part, then crashes if SBOS is runing.
- Putrefaction- Yes! It actually works with SBOS!
- Sonic-A- Doesn't work with or without SBOS.
- Theparty- starts to play through SBOS, then clicks and crashes.
- Vectdemo- refuses to work with SBOS.
- VV- sort of...music plays through SBOS, but the graphics slow to a snail's pace.
-
- If anyone has a method to make these demos work, let me/us know. Some of them
- LOOK pretty neat, but I bet the sound makes them even better.
