Software:demoscene:Ecargxus by The Phoney Coders (1991)

1991 demoscene entry.

Demo description

MIDI music, a moving box that spits out text, and some basic 3D objects.

Recommended DOSBox-X configuration

[dosbox]
machine=vgaonly
memsize=1

[cpu]
cycles=3500

[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

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.
