ADF ... somebody ... Please !

[UberFreak]

I dont think it was released in ADF form, but whats the problem copying the executable onto an ADF image?

Those are good A500 demos by that group - including this one:

But I wonder ... how are they getting such crisp audio from the Amiga?  The audio tracks don't have the Paula 8-bit sound at all.

I don't have the executable. All I have is this youtube link. That's why I ask.

That's not running on an A500 though (it requires AGA and a 060 cpu is preferred)

That demo uses the old 14bit-audio trick, and it's actually playing a streaming adpcm-track instead of a traditional mod-file.

A galaxy of thank youz ...

I would also like to recommend this highly polished but somewhat unknown demo from 1995:

Excellent ! Thanks !

Ah!  I wondered about the 14-bit audio trick, but I didn't realise it was that crisp.  Also, I thought I heard stereo panning, which I didn't think was possible with the 14-bit audio trick.  Maybe it was mono, though.

So, was the PCM track composed at all on an Amiga?  I'm assuming with a PCM audio track, this demo does not fit on a single floppy!

4x 8bit channels => 2x 14bit channels - that's it I think.

With 14 bits you get 2 channels, so yes, it's in stereo

To be honest, I don't know what the track was composed on, I got it from Jazzcat as an mp3-file and converted that to adpcm. And no, the demo most certainly doesn't fit on a single floppy as it requires several megabytes of diskspace.

Oh, okay.  One more question: does this demo run on an unexpanded A500 (i.e. 68000 CPU)?  Because if it only requires several megabytes of diskspace then I assume it's unpacking the audio on the fly (rather than working from uncompressed PCM music - which would take dozens of Megabytes).  I'm just wondering how you accomplished that.

If you're talking about Metropolice, then no, it doesn't run on an unexpanded A500 (as I've already said, it needs AGA and preferrably an 060). Boogie Town on the other hand of course runs on an unexpanded A500 and fits on a floppy

Holy ****.  I never even knew this demo existed.  It's amazing.
