OK, so as Kiyote's CGA format ran way to slow on my beloved HP 100LX (Same as 200LX) i felt i need to make something myself. (Still many thanks to Kiyote!!!!!)
My second demo! Specs are same as the first, but this time no sound (Sorry all fellow PC Speaker fans!) but at least you get pretty smooth and nice video on an 8086 with 7 MHz on monochrome CGA.
I picked a scene from the movie "Short circuit". Yay for cute robots!
Well the first pick was actually some porn in memory of the good old times (Come on, like the videos around in 1990 were Disney stuff....), but even though monochrome CGA genitals look barely too realistic i refrained from including it. But if some moderator says its okay to post i can include it as well.
For compatibility - you know it's always my goal to have my demos being compatible for all operating systems between DOS 3.3 and Windows XP. So as i didnt make a good timer i just added a command line switch to loop some simple math in between frames. In theory quite a good feature as a value of "1" is sufficient for video to be super smooth on the 100LX and 200LX, something between 9000 and 12000 is good for playback in DOSBOX. However, on my Core2 Quad it ran so fast that even the maximum of 32000 math lessons between each frame was still waaaaaay to fast.
Anyways, all people with a real monochrome CGA screen will probably enjoy this.
