    Never mind the great graphics... That machine has been cable of that fidelity of audio *this whole time*?! MIND BLOWN. Quite a demo!

    What blows my mind more than anything is the audio. I knew it had a powerful DSP chip but didn't realise what it was capable of. On the basis of this, it seems to blow the PC audio cards of the time out of the water. I don't think I got anything that could create anything close to this quality until the late 90s when I got a Yamaha sound card that was brilliant for music but even that, I don't think, was as good as this.

      That's why the Atari Falcon was used by disco guys because of its audio effects and stuff.

      That's not entirely correct. Thalion/Eclipse games were made by members of TEX (The Exceptions) and TLB (The Lost Boys). Both famous demo groups (and sometimes crackers) from back then! You can clearly see their coding skills in most their games (border graphics, more colors, smooth scrolling, great music by Jochen "Mad Max" Hippel etc.).

    Erstaunlich.
    Ich hätte jetzt sowas wie eine Falcon "Turbokarte" erwartet.
    (In meinen zwei A1200 habe ich immer 28 bis 50Mhz eingesteckt.)
    Gibt es denn für den "FALCON" keine spannende Tabellenkalkulation ...?😉

    • @TPau65
      @TPau65  Год назад +1

      Ja, der 3D-Teil ist schon recht beeindruckend! Da wird halt viel mit dem DSP gearbeitet, wie man in den Credits sieht.
      In meinem A1200 werkelt eine TF1260 (leider "nur" mit LC060 CPU). Aber wie schon damals mit dem A500, werde ich mit dem Amiga nicht so richtig "warm". Das arbeiten mit der Würgbench ist auch mit der aktuellsten Version 3.2.2.1 immer noch eine Katastrophe! Aber genug OT. 😁

      Wie ich gelesen habe, sind Beschleunigerkarten für ST/STe/Falcon auch nicht so leicht zu bekommen.🤔
      Etwas OT:
      So so, in Ihrem A1200 läuft diese neue Karte nur mit LC060 CPU?😉
      Meine Karten sind alt, also eine M-TEC 28Mhz, eine wo mir der Hersteller gerade nicht einfällt, mit 42 MHZ und eine Blizzard 1230 Mk-III mit 50 Mhz. Also alles aus der Zeit. Die Demos auf dem einem A1200 ("Symbolica" und sowas) habe ich noch nicht mit 14 Mhz gesehen.
      Nun, wer mit dem Amiga mit WB nicht so recht warm wird,
      der nimmt eben den ST/Falcon mit TOS oder MultiTOS. Das ist schon richtig und gut so. 🙂
      P.S.
      Wie ist das mit dem UNIX Betriebsystem auf dem ST?
      Gab es für A3000 und TT.
      Sieht auf der HP 9000 recht gut aus?🤔
      OT Ende.😉
