Demomakers

[AlexJ]

Tiago: I think it has problems with anything other than Kickstart 1.3 - perhaps try using Relokick or something?

[Puni/Void]

Yes, ReloKick should probably do the trick when it comes to getting the RSI Demo Maker run on an Amiga 1200. If you don't have Relokick, you can also try disabling CPU caches and running OCS in the bootmenu when holding both mouse buttons down. Maybe that will help?

Found my old DemoManiac cover disk and that hates my 1200 as well.

The A500 with KS1.3 was always the demo scene's favourite machine as most of them knew how to directly accsss the hardware. But that also means many productions and software produced by them refused to run on different models of Amiga.

ReLoKick should help, but sometimes just disabling the cache from the A1200 boot menu works for many.

disabling the cache from the A1200 boot menu works for many

no, didnt work, i forgot to try relokick.

I try to save a 10 seconds demo just with plasma efect to a empty adf file, transfer to pcmcia then to real A1200 and if worked, the disk is bootable, looks like A1200 dont load demomaker (software) but runs demos after being saved to bootable.

I was able to work with sample logos rom disk II, and the pixel and line effect.
But i coun'd put the text/banners working..... anyone did try DM so far?

I've managed to extract the docs for RSI Demomaker from the LSD disk - the one on ADDPP was corrupt.

The instructions are available here

Great work Alex. I will be having a look at this once I get chance to try making one myself. I hope lots of us are going to take part in this competition and try to create something as this should be great fun.

And if we like bits from different member's creations than we could end up combining the best bits into a final production.
