The Snowman Demo (520 KB version) by Sundox - Atari ST Demo - The 25ish Days of Christmas - Eve BONUS 7!


Here is the 520 KB (really should be 512k) version of The Snowman demo.

The documentation mentions copying the disk properly to avoid timing problems.  I am unsure if this is the problem that is present or not, but I did capture this demo from two sources.

I do not presently have a working 512k Atari ST, so I utilized STeem, restricting the memory to 512k for the initial playback.  There were timing issues, and the wrong frames were displayed to start.  So I tried a 1040 STf, and a 1040 STe, which made no difference.  So, I decided to capture the output from the 1040 STe.

Does anyone know the secret, or have a proper disk image (MSA) of a working version to share?

Capture info -

This video was captured on November 10, 2019.

The demo was played on STeem and captured with OBS.

AND

The demo was played on an Atari 1040 STE, TOS 1.62, 4MB.
A Best Electronics ST Monitor to VGA cable was used, connected to an OSSC 1.6 (processing the video in Line4x mode), with the output being captured by a Startech USB3HDCAP.

Video was edited with Shotcut.
