1992 demoscene entry.

Demo description

(todo)

[dosbox]
machine=vgaonly
memsize=1

[cpu]
cycles=12000
core=normal
cputype=pentium

[midi]
mpu401=intelligent

# By default DOSBox-X should choose your system MIDI configuration.
# If you just want to use FluidSynth on Linux like I do:
mididevice=synth
midiconfig=/usr/share/fluidsynth/soundfont/gengs.sf2

To run the demo type LOADER.EXE.

MIDI playback speed issues with DOSBox-X

At this time the demo seems to have problems maintaining a consistent speed when playing back the music. It seems to be related to whether or not the demo can maintain a full frame rate when drawing, and whether VGA scrolling/panning is involved.

MPU-401 issues

As of 2015/12/18 the demo appears to reset the MPU401 interface several times, then crash back to DOS. Something broke MIDI output in recent commits.
