IO, a new demo by Logon System... on MSX !
15 March 2015, 1:57 pm

 ForEver 2015 is over ! Overflow / Logon System just released there a new demo called IO, created with the help of Ced / Condense for the graphics and Factor6 for the audio-part.

From my point of view, some particularities to note for any well-informed CPC demomakers:

- it's released on... MSX machines (!!)

- it has some visual hints with previous Logon System productions

- involves technical tricks ; not a Z80-CPU only programming !

Wow, this MSX1 demo is amazing and a very big surprise! Great work, Overflow!

Our MSX brothers like it a lot!

Reeeally really cute Can't it be ported to the CPC?

I really liked the tune, too!

@Prodatron: I knew you will like it.
@Gryzor: I'm not sure if I should start a thread here (... about a msx demo, within a temple dedicated to cpc? ).
Yes, "IO" could be ported to CPC which can do much more. Have you ever seen "Batman Forever" and then been killed as I've been? 
That said, well: the last scene from IO shows some nearly-pixel-precise splitrasters (which cpc could not),
or the 3D-scroll changes all "colors" at a time (while it takes much more than a single scanline to change all 16 colors on a cpc).

YAP!

@Overflow: Manuel asked, if you contacted the OpenMSX team regarding the necessary patch. They would probably like to add it into the regular version

Very true. Great demo, very smooth. Was that MSX 2 standard?

Oh! you noticed that? good catch!

New thread started at MRC forum. I didn't want to talk about that before the demo is out.

You mis-read: MSX1. Briefly, my own thoughts: MSX1 is lame compared to CPC, while MSX2 is much more powerful (well, if MSX2+ and MSX Turbo R did not exist). Again: my own thought, based on my own code/tests on both machines, which includes 6128+ and MSX2. Feel free to disagree, I know I should not be authorized to tell such a truth on a website dedicated to CPC.
