Hi,

To show off this cool hyperspecced intro (turboR, GFX9000, MoonSound, harddisk), I tried to make an AVI file of it using the latest openMSX CVS code, which runs the demo flawlessly.

However, due to my slow PC (and a certain degree of lazyness) I have to mention some problems with this video:

• the video is only 10 frames per second
  
• openMSX was set to 10 frames per second and scale_factor 1 (lowest quality)
  
• the video shows stutters at regular intervals (I suppose due to the 'live' recording); on a real MSX and in openMSX it's 100% smooth
  
• the sound was recorded separately (using the openMSX soundlog function) and added later: this causes some slight out-of-syncness in general and a huge out-of-sync at the end: for the audio I pressed "SPACE" a lot later than in the video recording, so now you have the wrong sound during the fighter selection at the end.
  

But all in all, it should give you a good impression of this intro demo and also somewhat the openMSX emulation of it

Get it here: http://openmsx.sourceforge.net/x-tazy-intro-on-openmsx.avi

Technical details: it's a 24MB AVI, encoded with the M$ MPEG-4 v2 codec with mencoder (thanks to Wouter for telling me how to use this ), video captured with xvidcap.

Of course, you can still ask a binary on #openMSX on irc.freenode.net (or compile the latest CVS code yourself) if you want to see this with your own eyes in a lot better quality (Or run it on a real MSX, of course! )

Amazing!

Very nice video
And I do feel a feature request coming up: direct mpeg encoding from openmsx output (combined sound+video)

AuroraMSX, the request coming up is: "More software for GFX9000!!!"

hey manuel
can I use the graphix of the spaceship used in it for SM2?

Great demo Manuel, you showed me this one when I was at your place.

I think Manuel just made the video, not the game...

actually, I'm quite sure about that..

ok !
Thats also cool, who can I ask then ?

Indeed, I only made the video Better ask someone of Abyss.... Maybe Maggoo can help you with that?

And webmouse: you saw the 1.1. version, this is the 1.2 one.

Unfortunately I was not involved at all in the Xtazy project. Better contact Slayerman (Martial Benoit) or Mi-Chi.

... I think you'd best contact André Kuepfer, who is coordinating the open-sourcing of Xtazy. Still, as this open source initiative aims to create a releasable version of the game after all...

XTC was done by them German duded indeed. uhm, michi was the coder iirc

why AVI? ... sight... why not MPEG, standard replay on all players

Better contact Slayerman (Martial Benoit) or Mi-Chi.
