       	          ms-dos demotainment by the dennis courtney five
				  final version!

first place in the blockparty 2009 wild competition
we have yet to be beaten by the northern dragons


so finally, six weeks after the party, we have what we would have entered, if we
had six more weeks to work on the demo.


* real dos pc (fuck emulators!) *

at least a 486-50.  some parts will be painfully slow on a 386.  sorry, but i coded
them on a core 2 duo in the command prompt.

some kind of sound card is needed.  gus and sb should be auto-detected okay.  if
not, you can run "arf -setup" to pick your card and addresses.  that should bring
back memories!  if you have an sb you'll also need at least 1 mb expanded mem for
samples.  if you have a gus you'll need 1 mb onboard ram.  i bring this up 
because i know someone who still has a 512k gus. :)

you'll also need at least 2 mb extended mem, because we're preloading all the images
now.  if you have a 486 or pentium with no xms, i pity you.  go find the party
version instead.

* emulator (fuck dos!) *

dosbox 0.72 or newer should be fine.  set your cpu to "auto" and cycles to 
"max".  gus or sb should both work, but gus is recommended and default.  also make 
sure xms is set to "true".

* windows xp + gusemu (fuck emulators and dos!) *

with gusemu (http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu) it will actually run under xp!
unfortunately, it runs five times too fast, at least on a core 2 duo, which makes
it funny and in-your-face, but not at all correct.  but give it a try.  no idea if
it will work with vista or windows 7.

if you read this far, you'll be happy to know we added a hidden part. email phoenix
at xprojected@yahoo.com (or post on the demoscene.us forums) if you find it.


we'll be back. it's obvious we have nothing better to do.  also, allow me to plug
demoscene.us one more time.


fuckings to windows. 


quickbasic for life!
