HOWTO for the running the last Eludes demos !

Some of you which are in interest in amiga demoscene, will be in interest to know, that the latest Elude demos works fine on aos4 when you add few swithch to it.

In general, all the demos from Elude are runs, but, the first ones are have bugs on os4, some effects just not works, some parts of animation just not showns (and that can be because of different emulation of aos3 stuff on aos4 and morphos. On aos3 and on morphos all works fine, thourgh). Anyway, the last 2 demos works fine.

So, for the all Elude prods you can go at their site HERE. But for now, site not updated by the new and fresh demo (Dust), so i will put direct links on.

Dust (fresh one, from the 3 days ago RiwerWash party, 1st place),



and

We come in peace (1st place at breakpoint2010).



Demos are 68k and system friendly, and because of it it works on all amiga and amiga like oses (except AROS of course).

For running on os4 you need to provide those args for the binaryes:

By that switch-combo you will have full-screen working demo.

And by that:
Quote:

You will have window mode of demo. But while the Dust works in window mode, We Come In Piece works only in FullScren (that is because -morphos swith was added only now, and it say to os4, that demo should use some NG stuff).

Have fun ! And thanks to Kiero for his help with all that stuff which help to run it os4 as well.

@kas1e

Can you upload the fixed Os4 archive to os4depot?

@tommysammy

There is nothing what you need to fix. You download the demos and run it with some different arguments, which give possibility to watch it on os4.

(i.e. uploading to os4, will make no sense). And all in all its 68k binary, not aos4 native.

@kas1e
Some people ,like me,are to lazy to make it self(or to stupid) :)

@tommysammy

You don't know how to write a simple command line ?? Seriously, Ka1se only gave us the right command to enter in a CLI to have the demos working.

Thanks a lots, Ka1se

@K-L

I am jokeing

@tommysammy

No problem

I've watched the 2 demos and I must say that they are very good indeed !

very nice Demos! Fine to see them on Amiga OS4.1 running. I Love it!

@kas1e

We come in peace,was impressive. The other one was ok!

@all
You can run the same way Elude demo Kakao from revision2012 on os4:

Still with some glitches, but it works.

You also can run (just by dbl-click) the demo from MadWizzards (from the same revision2012 party) called Kioea, which ranked as 1st place in the demo-compo (so its quality), just by dbl-click and it works (thanks for BriteLite who do all his 68k code always working on os4/mos)



That one have no bugs, and everything good.

Thanks for the tip Kas1e

End of Elude? What do the mean by that? No more Amiga demos or they quit the Scene in whole?

@kas1e

Nice tips and nice demos
Thanks.

@all
To add, there is one more demo from Revision2012 which works on os4: Resetkani 2012 invitation



If you will have small screen output (1/4): be sure you have all the necessary screen modes which will fit output to fullscreen.

Fot this one, I get no sound. Does it use AHI or Paula directly ?

Edit : ok, there is only a P61 audio file in the archive. It lacks the DBM version of the audio file.

So no sound since no Paula emulation under AmigaOS 4.

I don't remember if Nallepuh works...

@K-L
Yep, no sound :(

@elwood
Nallepuh as far as i know stopped working long ago normally on os4, and even if it still, that p61 player use also a lot of CIA stuff, which i never get works with any kind of nallepuhs/ciaagents and co. So if you see that some 68k app/demo/mag use p61 player, you out of luck with sound on os4.

The Elude Dust archive on OS4depot, when run today on OS4 looks odd, most of the effects are truncated and off screen. Can anyone confirm please?

@kas1e

trying to debug nallepuh...
the debug output says:

instruction 0x0201D1E0 is unknown
instruction 0x02021E28 is unknown

Anyone know what PowerPC instruction this are?

tried to google and docdocgo it, did not work.

I think 0x02021E28 is a store half word opcode, but don't know what do with opcodes.

I think likely 0x0201D1E0 is a load half word opcode, but that more then a guess.

Brings back memories of being amazed at all the demos I used to run on my Amiga 1000 back in the 80's and 90's. Fun to be able to run some on the X1000!
