[@Zymaric]

the tech community never fails to amaze me, you just earned a sub!!!!!

[@Cat_loaf20]

Glad to see my computer can run a video file!

[@lillofrost2010]

You should play bad Apple on it

[@gustavgnoettgen]

It's the law

[@ar_xiv]

That would be much easier as 1 bit data can be represented a lot of ways

[@sanedish]

That is Awsome!! Especially given the age of that GPU! :p

Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Nice job. Very teased

[@Ali_Nar]

Very nice computer! But why are you typing so slowly? Is it on purpose? Overall mazing video, definitely earned a subscription from me!

I'm glad that you like my video. It's not on purpose.Most of the time I use a different keyboard on a more modern computer and the old one, although similar, is not the same:\

I've seen the Atari 800 and the Commodore 64 play video files (the Atari 800 is technically from the 70s, but just so barely you'd argue) Now doesn't simcga emulate a CGA card for Hercules? I tried that with some games and while it runs, it was so slow it rendered games nearly unplayable. Why not run it natively on the Hercules card? (still - this video looks really nice!) (the Atari 800 had a modern-ish hard drive built in that was probably from the late 90s, and the C64 needs a 16 MB REU, but both played videos with no extra CPU or decoding)

Video you just watched is in XDV file format playing using XDC Player(i didn't write it by the way)created for CGA cards. To be honest, I was surprised that it worked on an emulator. You can download it here x86dc.wordpress.com/

Do you have sometheng like a mdacard modified to gain a few graphic attribs? Ia says it can do it

[@Exodia_Misogynist]

Can it run doom?

[@aaronblyth345]

Fancy

[@mitchelljermaine]

I would love to know the compression method for the video file

[@greenscreen5994]

Everything is explained in this tutorial video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKelp3hjesSBi7c You can find more information on this site: x86dc.wordpress.com/documentation/xdc-player/

[@apolinario_57]

Do you used a Sound Blaster? Bcs when I try to reproduce videos it says I need one :P

[@greenscreen5994]

I convert videos in DOSBox with default settings
