+Philsan Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Here is my selection of beautiful and colorful A8 pictures (I found them in Graph2Font full package - many thanks to Tebe and to all G2F artists). I attach .xex format too so you can display them on real hardware/emulators. 1) Do you have other suggestions? (if possible including .xex files) 2) It would be nice if SIO2SD had the feature to slideshow them (impossible?) Pictures.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Depending of how these xex files do exit it is rather easy to make your own slideshow. If they do a clean exit to dos you could stack all the xex files in a batchfile (spartados) The files need to be in a large atr image then. If you want to use sio2sd xex loader you will have to write a small routine that set the following xex file in D1: slot and do a reboot. That is what my sio2ide and sio2usb config savers do!

pixelmischief Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I can't believe these are A8. That's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Most of these seem to have Esc or anykey exit and jump to DOS. Problem there is that a batch file probably wouldn't be any good. You'd need an RTS instead of JMP ($0A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 most of the pics are done by the same artist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I would suggest adding the three intro pictures on His Dark Majesty.. Those are pretty good. similar use of colors.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome pictures too Ken, especially two of them, perhaps at a slightly lower level if you consider originality and screen size (but they are from a game so originality and size had limitations).

+Larry Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yes, absolutely amazing. Can anyone provide a short explanation on how they are done? I've never seen anything this good from a stock A8 (i.e. not VBXE). -Larry I can't believe these are A8. That's incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drac030 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Problem there is that a batch file probably wouldn't be any good. You'd need an RTS instead of JMP ($0A) This should be perfectly possible under SpartaDOS X. PS. the reason why I don't comment on the pics is that I already saw most of them.

Alphasys Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yes, absolutely amazing. Can anyone provide a short explanation on how they are done? I've never seen anything this good from a stock A8 (i.e. not VBXE). -Larry It's from Graph2Font, so these are basically Antic 4 (graphics 12) pictures, with heavy use of Display list interrupts, use of 5th color through inverse characters and possibly PM overlays/underlays.

russg Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I can't believe these are A8. That's incredible. Here's a menu disk with 14 of the pics, 'last chance' didn't have room on the dbl dens disk. You can hit RESET, or ESC then get a BYE screen or a reboot. Sometimes you gotta type 'DOS' if you get a READY prompt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
