| New SCC demo: "Leila K"

I made a small SCC demo that I think is quite nice. Its using a custom made replayer that sound pretty good but isn't that useful because it requires synchronized code. If MRC wants to host it it would be nice. In the meantime you can download it here. |

New demos.
I will probably try this ... Do you (really?) want a opinion with sincerity !?
Now, remember to be kind to other demonstrations.
By the way, I don't have your e-mail address.
Can I get it from other page or site?

Waouh !!!
It's amazing !!   
It sounds great with BlueMSX but, errr... doesn't work on Turbor-R with a CF.

dvik: about hosting.. is the content of that thing legal? If not: can you make another version with -say- an mp3 from our downloads?

Or a piece of classical music.
Are common SCC mappers restricted to a maximum size of 512KB? Theoretically it should be able to go up to 2MB (256 pages), allowing a much longer sample, and perhaps a smoother loop too, cause.. no offense, but it currently sounds like a CD skip, or an incomplete MP3 download  |

Great looking tech demo!...and talking about sample lengths, what's the theoretical maximum sample length you can sqeeze on 512KB?, it's compressed right now?

hap: as for your classic music: the composition might very well be out of copyrights, the recording certainly isn't!

@wolf_: Of course its possible to change the music and gfx but then the demo wouldn't be a Leila K demo  I haven't looked at the downloads but I'm sure that there are many demos that uses copyrighted music and gfx already.
@hap: 2MB would indeed be possible with a konami SCC mapper. The reason why I limited it to 512kB is that both my ESE cart and my MegaFlashrom SCC cart are 512 kB.
@GuilianSeed: I don't know why the demo don't work on your TR. I tested the demo on my WSX using MegaFlashrom SCC. Perhaps your TR is in R800 mode. Then it will not work. |

@jltursan: No its not compressed. Its uncompressed 14.5kHz 8bit PCM. The problem with this particular replayer is that its using syncrhonized code and its hard to do a decoder that uses the same amount of cpu regardless of branches.
Hopefully, one of the replayers in the SCC PCM thread will be free of noise. They are much less sensitive of timing. The problem is that the SCC seems to have some issues when accessing it at the wrong time and there are no good ways yet to avoid it except using a synchronized single channel replayer.

dvik: if you want your thing in the downloads: do me a favor and use some of our mp3's. ^^ (if you don't want to bother to ask someone for permission, just use one of mine  )
There's a slight difference between a snippet of 1:1 music with a ditto title and some random 'wh00spacesupermegademo' where the staff roll contains an fm-pac version of Leila K. |

I'll find alternative hosting then. I have plenty of music I did myself too but I'm too ugly to put a picture of myself in the demo  Its ok to do a screen 0 image like we did in Utopia but a highres screen 7 image would show too much detail  I'll probably do another SCC demo in the future and then I may use my own music. |

Probably stupid question, but are we listening to one sample here or multiple samples played through the 5 SCC channels? Like a MOD-file?
