I wanted to write a retro demo conversion .............so here it is. If you were a fan of the c64 or amiga then there is no way that you won't recognise this. ;)

Woo hoo, thats pretty cool.

I guess I'm going to have to get my finger out now and work on some demo conversions. :)

Although, I've just run it on my new HTC Touch Diamond (528Mhz) and the green bar is jerky. Not a critisism about your demo, more about the fact that I may have other things running that is slowing things down! :) - Will try it again later when I have more time.

Keep 'em coming.

Mike.

Jerky green bar.....I can't have that. I will look to see if there are any optimisations as well.

I have 95% finished the package / exe merger code and tool so this will be my next release. Basically you only have to ship the exe and all media is stored within it. I just need to tweak a couple of things and then I will release a demo to prove it and then the tool and source to use it will follow. Then we have some proper cracktros :D (apart from being 400k over the size limit lol)

Yikes, that sounds great. - Single file releases! hee hee - just like they used to do in the 90s'

Will it include the multi-colour raster bars in the border like the old depackers used to do? ha ha - that would be truly awesome! :D

Yes it's done and I released the all in one exe demo to show it working. It justs needs some slight adjustment now as it didn't want to work with upx, so I assume when it compacts exe's it slightly changes the positions of things and as the byte code is read from the end of the exe I cant put the package there. I am well on the way to fixing the issue, but at the moment it is uncompacted exe's only.
