Title: Ecole Buissonniere demo by Overlanders
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 12:59, 03 July 21
French demo from 2000.

I have recorded this twice, the first has text in English with the second @10:06 has text in French.

Due to a hardware issue the audio track is out of sync with the visual display - this isn't too much of a problem except for the "beating heart" displayed at the end of the demo.

Mmm.........I've had a look a this and it seems problematic.
Once the main logo is displayed there is only a gap of two seconds before the main part of the demo begins to load.
So if I'm reading the info from CPCPOWER correctly it's during this gap that you are meant to remove the disc and replace it with the Chanel Crocodile disc?

From CPCPOWER:
" CHEAT MODE (View the cheat part of the skipping school):
Launch " Ecole Buissonniere " in this way: RUN "SCHOOL" 'cheat
While the logo goes up, insert the "Croco Chanel" diskette"


Am I missing something from this procedure?

That's correct!
NB: The cheatpart's text also got two flavours: French and English.

Thanks, seems like a good way to kill a disc drive - I'll be giving this a miss.

Why killing the drive? You switch disc when there is no disk access

Two seconds to eject the disc and insert the 2nd disc is too short a time to safely complete this.
Anyway this particular recording was eleven videos ago and I won't be revisiting it any time soon.

NB: You don't need to swap disk if you copy the proper files from Croco Channel on Ecole Buissonniere disc.


Can't remember which though!
