the eidolon - 3d engine in detail
well, this production is not really scene one but i always wondered: how could that be possible that such an oldie is so fast being realtime? what kind of calculations are made and is it 3d at all? |

neat but it's not as complex as eidolon, though :) |

Christopher Jam did a quite fast rendition of a 3D-engine, using the map from Driller in Effluvium. Should be considerably faster than the original implementation. |

Considerably faster yes, but still crawling dead slow. I think faster is the wrong term, less dead slow would be more appropriate (don't misunderstand me now, I personally like Effluvium very much!) |

It'll never be "quite fast" on a C64, but maybe "not THAT slow"! :) |

I've heard rumours about something that I would actually describe as "rather fast". :) |

Quoting jammer ok, he did a speedup for dtv and i guess took advantage of faster clock.
This is a popular misunderstanding of the DTV. The DTV has the same clock as the C64, but in my release I use the skip, burst and disable-badline feature. |

as i've read out, it's equipped with 32 mhz cpu emulating all c-64 chips at their original clock speeds thus i apologize for my mistake ;) |

What's the best place to read about it in comprehensive way? Also is there some place where you can buy modded DTV? Modding it myself is out of the question. |

@jammer : look in this way, you are right. Looking from the programmers point of view, it has about 1Mhz. You don't need to apologize for this ...
@jetboy
Modded Devices - no idea ...
Best Documentation so far : DTV_Programming
