Wow, this is amazing. I love 8088 Corruption and this is going to become a classic just as well 😀.

Awesome!

These are pretty amazing. Trixter truly is a supreme bit-twiddler.

Still compared to Onslaught's Eclectic demo a week before on c64 having video and audio from a floppy. Trixter should have been decompressing video from a floppy. Harddrive is cheating!

amazing demo! too bad things like that didn't exist back in the day 😁

I approve of this.

Turns out Great Hierophant was there at the demoparty and played a key role in having the demo go off without a hitch! 😀

Lucky bum! But I agree, based on his description I'd probably prefer to go to a Euro-style demoparty 😁

That demo was AWESOME! 😁 I thought 8088 Corruption was cool, but 8088 Domination blows it away, especially in the 640x200 sequence. One thing I wonder, during the 320x200 sequence, why do so many of the pixels "stick"?

That's a side effect of how frames are fed to the framebuffer -- they're encoded as deltas (changes from the previous frame) arranged in a list from largest to smallest, so that if there isn't enough CPU time to draw the entire frame, some of the smaller deltas may be dropped, resulting in pixels that "stick". But Trixter explains it better than I could hope to.

(BTW, it isn't 320x200 - technically it's 640x200 with the color-burst bit turned on, aka "composite mode", which kinda-sorta makes for an effective resolution of 160x200.)

Ah, didn't realize that. Thanks. 😉

This is truly amazing. I wonder the things Trixter would do using an EGA card.

Very impressive.

Totally I love that kind of awesome work 😀 It just shows people are kicking so much arse (for "fun") to really see what the limits are for ancient hardware 😀
