Hi there, I released a new small NGCD-demo called 'We love Alice'... nothing special but another nice effect never expected on NeoGeo, this time it's a zoom-lense.

Wow, I can't believe what I am seeing - it is incredible what you are pulling out of the system The demo looks fantastic on my CRT screen and it really works on my NGCD. I have also tried out the alternate modes with: A-Button + D-Pad for manual movement and B-Button for pure (circular!) transparency without lens effect. Well done Blastar, as always, I am very impressed - IthisDemo!
P. S. (1): Nice idea to use a Capcom-style version (date) number for a demo which shows a character which is based on a Capcom game. P. S. (2): Would you may reveal some of the magic behind the scene? (Sorry, I couldn't resist to ask.. )
no, it's no software-rendering and no magic - it's just another use of the 'palette-ram-heater'-trick (™furrtek). check this video I recorded with MAME. yes, it's very limited because it depends on a static background but maybe this can be used as a transparent bar for a menu-selector (bar)?
thisDemo!
