Short: Shop demo for base A1200 v0.03 Alpha - *NTSC* Author: ela95csh@sheffield.ac.uk Uploader: ela95csh@sheffield.ac.uk Version: 0.03 Alpha (ntsc), 16-4-96 Type: demo/aga Requires: A1200 Action: PAL This disk is made for SHOPS to use on a basic A1200 (NTSC) to show off it's capabilities & also give a some information on the Amiga. The demo is only one disk, and is self running & repeating with NO swearing, nudity, etc.. It should run for about 20 minutes - longer on a base A1200. This version is NTSC and is the 3nd Alpha public release, which has: - fixed a few spelling errors (I was in a hurry!). - added another info screen ("Why choose Amiga?"). - totally redone the 'software' screen. - nice looking 256 colour Clown piccy. - removed the pointless C-Lous file. - MAJOR addition! 32*32*16 bouncing checkered ball (SpriteLA by Dion Vingerhoets). Looks cOOL! :) - had the demo order reorganised & added. - and changed it from "v0.55 Beta" to "v0.03 Alpha" since this is really more of a preliminary NTSC version. I was being hopeful before! Since this is an ALPHA (early test) version, it may need LOTS of work - testing for NTSC compatibility (& how to fix it) is impossible by me. If a demo doesn't work, comment it out in the StartUp-Sequence, and tell me! This readme is in the disk archive and called "ShopDemo.readme". To use the demo disk: 1.Format a plain FFS disk - i.e. no Directory Cache, International Mode or trashcan. 2.Make it bootable by typing this at Shell (without quotes) "Install DF0:", with the disk in the main (df0:) drive. 3.Extract the archive to the floppy disk. Eg. Type this at Shell (no quotes): "LhA x ram:ShopDemo.lha df0:" [note - for 1 floppy drive systems, you will need to copy Install and LhA to Ram:, and access them from there. Eg. "Ram:LhA x ...".] All opinions, helpful critisisms & bugs reports are welcome. :) I'd like to hear which shops (& where) this demo has been used! This disk is by Christopher Handley from Sheffield University. I got fed-up of seeing nothing running on the A1200's in the Silica shop, and so went and compiled this! I have recieved a large response from people on the csa Newsgroups - thanks everyone! The Escom shop now also has it, but for how long? This of course refers to the PAL version - I'm doing an NTSC version for all you Americans, Canadians, etc. If you have any better demos you can suggest, PLEASE tell me! I can't view *all* of the Aminet demos by myself.. ;) Latest news (17-4-96): Silica in Sheffield don't have an A1200 on display anymore, but Escom still do; at the time when VIScorp is buying AT from Escom. A tad ironic don't you think? ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 34080 34080 0.0% 17-Feb-96 20:46:02 -Blur 505964 452805 10.5% 31-Aug-95 13:10:40 -BrainCell 3928 3788 3.5% 03-Apr-96 15:40:10 -Eq_TBL 40076 38513 3.9% 10-Apr-93 13:19:42 -S-bLUR 40956 40956 0.0% 20-Jun-95 15:57:16 -Shocked? 33856 32016 5.4% 10-Jun-95 13:01:08 -Siesta 57260 52160 8.9% 29-Mar-96 22:30:12 _Clown 42648 17910 58.0% 21-Mar-96 17:40:10 _Intro 29112 14107 51.5% 19-Apr-96 09:01:18 _Sw 19014 10751 43.4% 23-Mar-96 23:06:00 _Why 728 574 21.1% 26-Feb-92 08:23:00 Avail 4132 2486 39.8% 25-Oct-94 16:30:32 Ball.spdat 2092 1456 30.4% 08-Jul-94 14:50:46 C-Show 232 95 59.0% 14-Feb-96 22:10:30 +System-Configuration 2228 1064 52.2% 19-Apr-96 09:37:46 HEY_YOU! 15340 9009 41.2% 26-Feb-92 08:23:14 +DiskFont.library 4280 2486 41.9% 02-Sep-92 11:51:32 +MathTrans.library 324 255 21.2% 21-Nov-92 13:11:46 Reset 791 331 58.1% 19-Apr-96 10:43:36 +Startup-Sequence 13484 8324 38.2% 15-Feb-94 16:09:06 SetPatch 2681 1508 43.7% 17-Apr-96 20:08:04 ShopDemo.readme 948 759 19.9% 25-Oct-94 16:30:34 SpriteLA 852 695 18.4% 26-Feb-92 08:23:04 Wait -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 855006 726128 15.0% 21-Apr-96 10:46:16 23 files
