I would try it if Direct3d didn't lock up all the time. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

Ah, the hell with D3D, I'll give it a try http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif . But first I install DX8 to run the demo (maybe that fixes my problem).

I saw most of the demo before it locked up. Very awesome for a 64kb demo...

Very impressive indeed..especially for just 64k! I enjoyed watching it!

It doesn't run on NT, what am I missing http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

You must be using a DX 8.0 compliant OS, such as Win2K or Win9x/ME. What you are missing is one of the best 3D DirectX demos to date. The 64KB download even includes CD-quality DirectSound rendered music. The secret to the small size is that the file completely relies on DX's own internal 3D and sound rendering systems, thus removing the need for specialized rendering engines that most traditional game producers use.

Didnt work for me...Screen went to 640x480 and then back to my desktop res (1024x768) with nothing running.
If i try running it a second time, DDHelp crashes, and I cant type or move my mouse anymore.

WinME, DX8.0, ATI Radeon DDR. Also, if you liked demos like this, check these out!

I guess I hookup the lappy and see what it'll do!

[randy48]

That was pretty good, even though I had to run it on the laptop! I guess there's no bloated code there. Maybe they could teach Gates a few things about coding http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

No kidding. The best part is that this 64 KB demo actually moves over 1.9 GB worth of data!

rob how does it work? i thought all drivers were setup for 32bit color at the max

i have a voodoo3, which can't even do 32bit color in 3D mode, how did the get around this?

[RobRich]

I'm not exactly clear on your question. I assume you asking about 64bit color? The demo here is optimized for nVidia chipset cards. I do not have the NVStats driver installed right now, so I can not verify if it runs in 16 or 32 bit color. However, I would assume this demo is compiled for 32-bit color due to the superior visuals and minimal z-buffer clipping. 64-bit color is currently being developed, but it will probably not be available until 2003 at the earliest.

As for 64 KB, I mean 64 kilobytes, the download size.

Hope this helps,
Robert Richmond

Cool but I could only get it to run @ 800X600 32bit.

Thank-You Robert http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
That was unbelievable and incredible.

ohhh. yes that was the misunderstanding on my part
i thought it was a 64bit color demo, that just happened to be 63.7KB

sorry.
