Welcome!
This is the homepage for GemDemo.
GemDemo is a demonstration of
realtime calculated graphical sequences. Everything is running within standard GEM
windows on any Atari compatible machine with a TOS compatible OS, a 68030
or better CPU and a videomode of 15 or 16 bits per pixel.
GemDemo has been developed during the late spring and summer 1998 by Odd Skancke (ozk) of AssemSoft and Anders Eriksson (evl) of Dead Hackers Society.
GemDemo has been tested on a few various systems, such as Atari Falcon with videl RGB and VGA outputs, Nova graphic cards, Afterburner040 card, Nemesis card, Mighty Sonic card. On TT we have tested it with CrazyDots and Nova graphic cards, and it has been tested on Hades040 and Hades060. GemDemo worked fine with all those systems, only the Milan040 have shown problems so far.
