Classic Beastie Boys demo here with a few nice parts. Always liked it
which is why I patched it in the last 2 mornings when I arrived at
work. Code is quite good for its age, except for a few minor problems
with the DMA settings, the usual CPU dependent delay loops and stuff like
that everything was fine.
The demo uses ByteKiller crunched data, I have relocated all decrunchers
and added an error check, if decrunching fails WHDLoad will quit with an
appropriate error message.
Enjoy this classic demo from HD. You can download it here:
