This thread is to log which demos, that you can find listed on Pouet, work or don't work.
I'm sure most of us have seen the matrix below, documenting games using PCI/ AGP graphics cards:

I don't think I have the time to compile something similar for every demo listed on Pouet, so I'd thought this thread would be a start in compiling demos that are tricky to get working on real hardware. The reason for this is really simple: I took a highly compatible graphics card listed in Gonas site and thought this would translate accordingly, but I still get issues - namely stuttering or some kind of artifacting. You can tell easily if the demo did NOT run 100% correctly.
At this moment, I don't have the time to create a matrix, but maybe in the future. Or if anyone is inclined to do so, please feel free.
So please post your findings on your favourite demos or just any demo you've ran, and fill in this simple template:
Demo link: Just a simple link would suffice...
Ran 100%: Yes/ No; if no, state issue...
Graphics: Chipset, bus etc....
CPU: Brand, speed etc...
Chipset: Motherboard chipset, details etc...
Sound: Brand, chipset etc...
I'll start off with one:
Demo link: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1444
Ran 100%: No, issues with jerky scrolling
Graphics: Cirrus 5430, VLB
CPU: Cyrix 5x86 100MHz
Chipset: OPTi 696
Sound: CT3930 SB32
Thanks to all participants.
