I wasn't able to grab a screenshot so I took a photo of my monitor while the demo was running. Picture quality is bad, but you can clearly see the effect we're talking about. Check it:

Also, I tried to reproduce this bug on WinUAE & E-UAE, but no matter how I modified my settings, this demo kept running without any problems...confusing!

huh??? :D I have no idea why it looks like that. I have added one extra copper command compared to the original though. Maybe that is what is doing it.

Slummy tipped me about unaligned bitplane pointers. Made a new version and sent it to Frequent's testlab.

Bah.I have a strong belief in this fix so I uploaded a new archive. Same name and location.

IT WORKS! And it looks wonderful - very good job! Well, it's 5K now, but who cares? Thank you for this great fix.
comment by rloaderror on 09 July 2008
what? last time I checked it was 4k. maybe I forgot to crunch :D
comment by pintcat on 09 July 2008
Yes you did. Do you have any special/favorite cruncher? I got the best result with CrunchMania (down to ~4200 bytes), but after crunching the demo crashed all the time.

Try execruncher2 by blueberry/loonies.
Execruncher2 <input> <output> mini 40
should get it down to 4088 IIRC
comment by pintcat on 10 July 2008
Oooh - that's a good one! I can't believe I wasn't aware of that cruncher till now. It's the most efficient I've ever seen on Amiga.
PS.: I reduced the MaxDist by 80 and even got it down to 4080 Bytes (sqeeeze!) And it works great - thanx again for this masterpiece!

pintcat: And the reason for the crunchmania crash might be that you're testing on an 060? Crunchmania-crunched files crash on 060 due to the larger caches.. The tool 'fixcrm' can be used to patch up those files (basically it just adds a cache-flush).
comment by pintcat on 15 July 2008
This is quite interesting! Not every CrM crunched file crashes on my 060, but there are a few so I'll give it a try. Thanx for this good hint. After all, CrunchMania remains one of my favorite crunchers.

I love this one. It was amazing on the big screen on Breakpoint.
