Short: Shop demo for base A1200 v0.03 Alpha - *NTSC* Author: ela95csh@sheffield.ac.uk Uploader: ela95csh sheffield ac uk Type: demo/aga Version: 0.03 Alpha (ntsc), 16-4-96 Requires: A1200 Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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?
