Infinite launch 4-motion final and website

Infinite finally polished their 4-motion engine, used for the trackmos Sphere and Wings. Wings already ran fine on 3.58mhz when it was released, but now Sphere also runs on 3.58mhz for the very first time! The most important fixes are:

• Obvious bugs were removed
• Added a 'loading' and 'change disk' notification
• 4-motion now runs in both DOS1 and DOS2
• 4-motion automatically scans all connected drives for the next disk before asking you to insert it
• In DOS2 it uses all the available memory you have, for DOS1 only the primary mapper is supported
• You can exit the 4m show by pressing [space]

So, for example: NMS8255 users can put the two disks in drive A: and B: or in reversed order. Even more complex: people who have a CompactFlash interface, CD, harddisk, diskdrive can put the files everywhere on all media, as long as the current active path on a drive leads to the required file. This means that the .com file and the *1.dat (those two should always be in the same dir!) could be on E: from your CF and the *2.dat can be on a disk in diskdrive G:. Only when the program doesn't find the next file, it prompts you to insert it.  

 

Now that the engine is done, new 4m shows are purely a matter of visual and musical creativity! A number of new 4m shows are on the drawingboard already, some of them could use megabytes of memory to grant the watcher longer and more varied trackmos in the future!  

 

Also new is Infinite's stylish and colorful website, which will host all of Infinite's releases and a few related products, such as Polka and individual songs.
