8088 Corruption@fullscreen

[@MxArgent]

sweet mercy, that's on the 5150? and with CGA?! I've seriously underestimated early 80's technology! i mean, i've emulated it, but i had no idea what it was capable of!

[@jojoreloaded]

The original 8088 Corruption uses soundblaster, but i've sucesfully ported it to work on pc speaker & covox :)

[@stgigamovement]

Do you have a build

[@FAMICOMASTER]

The 5150 was not the first PC. Technically there were other computers that could have been considered Personal Computers, and since the 5150 was meant for business purposes (International Business Machines). Still very impressive though! I'd love to see this on original hardware with the monochrome Hercules Board!

[@letmecringe]

5150 was first PC as we understand it today - It could be bought by parts

[@ecernosoft3096]

Atari 8 bit! Commodore PET!

[@sebuwu934]

this is history

[@cyklop1977]

Next doom4 on xt

[@alt3g]

radical video!

[@jojoreloaded]

Yup, that's a real 4,77mhz 8088 :)

[@produKtNZ]

oh god that looks awesome ! :D! It's almost as if the 32x32(?) gfx are part of the overall idea and soul of the project, eg post processing filter or something :)

[@SamuraiClinton]

I'm surprised the sound didn't stutter on DOSBox when you filmed this. Because the sound stutters whenever I use DOSBox.

[@linuxlove4004]

Yes, i know. I forgot he used a sound blaster PRO 2.0. If you look around, there is a video where he explains how he created 8088 Corruption (now called 8088flex). And I know that the computer is from 193. Well, it was recorded in DOSbox, but the XT he ran it on is from '83.

[@pigpenpete]

Original Soundblaster

[@eb2588]

You've not seen 8088 domination yet!

[@vapourmile]

Awesome! Thanks pigpen.

[@theplayer12312]

watch in 144p for free antialiasing

[@wandov8]

Congratulations, nice video. I have a pc xt clone, but without soundblaster card. :(

[@tom611]

Not this program, it just runs in text mode. It'll run on an EGA display of course, just not using the graphics mode.

[@pigpenpete]

The video was brute force pre rendered using software written for a modern desktop, into a format suitable for playback on a prehistoric old dinosaur of a desktop. And it's not ANSI either :)

[@linuxlove4004]

i beleve that Trixster said that you needed a soundblaster 16 or something for 8088 corruption to work with sound

[@sonick808]

wow!

[@MxArgent]

wait wait wait...The audio couldn't have been made by the PC-Beeper! i thought the beeper was the only audio the 5150 had?

[@Rapsodiaast]

heh! palikka by moottori 64kb intro with GUS music- only 5 ascii chracters used... but this demo not bad too. kewl!

[@kingcrimson234]

i've run this on my XT clone before with a VGA card and an old sound blaster pro ver. 2. well i guess we can throw out the hi-def now. i'll just put a 5150 in it's place with a 500 MB hard drive! this A/V format trixter came up with is just about 5 MB per minute, so you can put a full 90+ minute movie on that beast! hahaha... i'm totally gonna do that. invite a friend over to watch a movie and show it on the XT.

[@FAMICOMASTER]

(+Mister Argenr) The PC speaker can do more than beeps and blips.

[@FAMICOMASTER]

Square wave isn't always beeps and blips. Ever heard of a Tranciever Radio? It uses square waves as it's audio output. If you do it right, you can actually get really good quality out of the PC Squeaker itself on the motherboard. It's not a square wave generator, it's a timer and a speaker. All speakers are basically the same and can generate all the same sounds, but can be purposed to work better in some situations, such as the speaker on the motherboard that outputs error codes when something's gone wrong. The timer can send pulses to the speaker fast enough to generate a square note of any frequency or of any other note (mostly, obviously it can only go so high or so low, everything has a limit).

[@FAMICOMASTER]

FAMICOMASTER Since the timer is programmable, it is easier to make it generate actual sound instead of the usual beeps and blips it normally makes occasionally. Unfortunately, since you have to access DMAs and Memory directly at all times it is harder to program the PC speaker than it is for, say, an Adlib. Though an Adlib would probably give out a much nicer audio output, It can't play much else than MIDI sequences.

[@TAVIII]

+FAMICOMASTER this is using a soundblaster

[@gdplayer1035]

feels like watching on 144p

[@RABBIDGamfan]

Cool! Can I get it? If so, where?

[@MrCauldron]

@jojoreloaded How did you do it with pc speaker????

[@RABBIDGamfan]

How fast would the PC speaker version run on a 7-8 Mhz 8086?

[@Rapsodiaast]

hmm - dancing girls - it's like State of the Art amiga demo but - in the textmode - not a bad...

[@Asterra2]

So I've always wanted to know.. what's the name of the music used? And is it floating around out there as a proper stereo track?

[@j4l]

Space Cat - Power up

[@produKtNZ]

Oh! Well when you said "recorded@fullscreen with Dosbox 0.65" Dosbox is a windows application to emulate a true DOS environment? Meaning that just because we can see the video, doesn't mean it's not actually being done on a hyperthreaded-mega-6gb-ram-dualhypercore-awesome pc :P

[@tom611]

Pre-encoded video.

[@vapourmile]

Same question as I've asked before: It's awesome to think this is running on hardware from 1981... but what about the sound? Can you tell me what device it's running on plz?

[@nikotinko]

lol @ ascii video

[@produKtNZ]

Can i just clarify something? What we are seeing isn't rendered, made or is being played on an actual 8088 is it?

[@tayntedmemories]

It is. This is an 8088.

[@sparky4insano]

all me have to say about 8088 corr LIVE on desktop is Windows Me 4.90.3000

[@RABBIDGamfan]

This PC speaker or Sound Blaster?

[@ferjvm]

Well, my athlon 64 3200+ booting windows XP SP2 is WAY faster than my core 2 E6600 booting on Vista... And i also had an epson APEX 110, running an intel 8088 and 640k of RAM, lol...i wish i had it to see the 8088 CORR live on my desktop

[@jojoreloaded]

Search 8088_Corruption on google. First hit. See the video. You're welcome ;)

[@ecernosoft3096]

I still prefer 8088 Domination....
