yup...attached is a demo that came out last year that is 64K in size and will blow you away. It plays for over 15 minutes...
I'm still in awe...

i cant run the thing right now, im using the schools Win2k....but whatever this is, 1.9 gig compressed to 64K HAS to contain a lot of hot air.

 

[dpence]

nope no hot air...you will see....BTW I forgot to add that it REQUIRES DX8 minimum...

freaken long demo dude.. Looks pretty good too.. Where can I get the program to compress like that?

 

[Shiori]

too bad, the comp's got only DX7. but ill take it home with me though, and check it out.

anyway....released last year? i wonder why i haven't heard of it then....a compression breakthrough like that, if true, should've been widespread by now.

From my understanding they used a modified version of a packing program called UPX, the info is on there page whose URL is included in the ZIP. The need to release there versiojn or sell it or something. That kind of compression needs to be out in the public...

What they say is not correct. Ever heard of looping stuff? All it is about 4 scenes looped with different camera angels. Not 1gig of stuff. If it was actually over 1gb of stuff compressed to 64k imagine how much GBs worth of data Max Payne or Q3 is!

what is it anyhow?

I could not get it to run, this is what happened to my computer:

/me sighs

This is like, the billionth time this has come up on this forum, and even the first time, it was pretty old ;p

 

[Shiori]

ok, so CD makes it clear (yet again ) that this is a hoax. so much for being awed.

 

[Ryos]

Duh?

 

[Shiori]

well it_could_ happen. :emb: but not now. Not even in 20 years.

The file he attached was just a PC demo (a little movie with some music to show what the developer of it could do) but it has trouble with some video cards so that may be why you got the screwed up screen.

I didn't say it was a hoax, I just said it's very old
