OS4 betatester demonstrating the native P96 graphics drivers
« on: July 09, 2004, 04:39:42 PM »
One of the OS4 betatesters put this video of native P96 on his homepage.

It's not an official OS4 demonstration, just a user's machine.  Picture quality of the video is not great, but it gives an idea of the speed native P96 achieves.

Check it out -> http://crisot.free.fr/os4/os4.avi (19.29 MB)

If you're on broadband, it's worth the 20MB download.  The responsiveness is impressive.

The video is of the demonstration being done on a CRT monitor, but it isn't so horrendous that you can't see what it is trying to demonstrate properly.

I see the file extension is .AVI but WMP refuses to play it saying I don't have the proper decompression available.  Is this thing in DIVX or some other compression format?

@SilvrDrgn

I think its XviD. It plays fine in FroggerNG, and on OS4 native Moovid. It also plays in Windows Media Player here at work, but then I have both DivX and XviD codecs installed.

I'm not impressed but relived. With the much higher processing power it should be expected.

Anyway, would love to see it but I have dial up...

Looks pretty good...   :-)

Was this demo done with hard disk DMA enabled?

bad a$$.  Thats all I can say.  Hopefully it brings out competition between the two systems.  Even though I'm more a MOS fan its still good to see something being done for this system.  Keep up the good work!

Well, you use what you have the hardware for. It's as simple as that :)

If you're on broadband, the site also proves fast enough to stream it (with mplayer) if you're only going to watch it once.  (Heads-up to anyone else with only 10MB free, uck!)

That's got to be one of the faster PDF renderings I've ever seen, though I admit I've been using some pretty weak hardware myself.  Does Apple do as well with Quartz Extreme?

Wow! a vast improvement from the non-native. I'm looking forward to other improvements we'll see.

Anyone know what the specs on his A1 are?

@ Argo

I read somewhere else (AW.net, I think) that it was a 933MHz chip. Can't remember if it was a G3 or G4, though.

@ thread

Whee! That looks great! Way faster than my aged PC, and easily faster than my 68060 Amigas. Personally, I prefer nonsolid window movement, but this looks great regardless. :-D
